activeX and netsync

Trying to run multiple windows on the same PC syncing different videos using the activeX within my VB app. I can sync the videos when I run the following VLC line commands:-
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "C:\aaa Hoyts\Mix\Broadway test\Coke_Popcorn Asset FA Screen_1360x768_02.mov" --video-x=1930 --video-y=100 --control netsync --netsync-master-ip 127.0.0.1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "C:\aaa Hoyts\Mix\Broadway test\Coke_Popcorn Asset FA Screen_1360x768_01.mov" --video-x=0 --video-y=0 --control netsync --netsync-master

So long as the "master" video is started after the slave video. When I try to do the same in my app using the activeX with the following:-
ole_vlc.playlist.Add("C:\aaa Hoyts\Mix\Broadway test\Coke_Popcorn Asset FA Screen_1360x768_02.mov", "", "--control netsync --netsync-master-ip 127.0.0.1")
ole_vlc.playlist.Add("C:\aaa Hoyts\Mix\Broadway test\Coke_Popcorn Asset FA Screen_1360x768_01.mov", "", "--control netsync --netsync-master")
Nothing happens. The videos just play without trying to sync.

Has anyone been able to successfully use netsync with the activeX object? Or can you shed some light on how to make it work?
