Watching movies with someone online

[killerbee123]

Zync, a research prototype from Yahoo! Research Berkeley, is a plug-in for Yahoo! Messenger. Zync allows you to watch videos together with your friends, in sync and in real time. Instead of just IMing URLs and waiting for your friends to watch, Zync allows you to converse about a video (pausing, jumping back, and watching together with a friend). Both videos stay in sync.

Does anyone know if something like this exists with VLC? Basically if two people had the same video file saved, and wanted to watch it at the same time in sync, how could that be done?

Thanks

Such a feature is not included in VLC. It could only be done with a separate program or if such a feature were coded for VLC.

such function is best described and realized in instant message software.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say here, so I'll assume you mean this feature would only be useful if it was built-in to instant message software. I disagree because VLC is fine as a standalone program. I just thought a feature like this would be useful, and of course if you needed to chat to someone it could be done using any chat software you want at the same time.
