In theory yes. Could you give more info about your setup? (like how many computers etc.)

hello VLC_help, and thanks for your reply!
sorry for the delay but i was on holiday :)
actually, thanks to the possibility to open multiple vlc player, i decided to split the video in some parts (easiest rendering)...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

here are some info about my setup:
videowall from 3 to 9 monitor
from 3 to 9 pc, all with the same configuration
a gigabit router+switch for the "dedicated" LAN

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

i created a batch wich open some vlc istance and stream succesfully the video on every pc .
logo is succesfully impressed over my video "client-side".
it seems really ok but...

now, the BIG problem is that my videos aren't perfectly syncronized, they lost sync expecially when the video start the loop in the playlist.
i have to sync the vlc players on the server.
netsync module could be a good idea? (im using a 0.8.0 version).
or is better to merge the video and try the wall module?

what's your opinion?
thanks a lot!

ok, thanks a lot!
i've already tried with the 0.8.0 version of vlc, but seems that netsync doesn't work at all.

Code: Select all

MASTER: vlc c:\1.m2v --intf netsync --netsync-master

Code: Select all

SLAVE: vlc c:\2.m2v --intf netsync --netsync-master-ip THE-IP-ADDRESS-OF-THE-MASTER
where i'm wrong?

hello mlepage, unfortunately i didn't solve the question.
netsync doesn't really work in vlc 0.8.0 or vlc 1.1 and the documentation is useless.

the lack of clear and definitve solution for NETSYNC on this forum, and in the net too, drive me to think that it could be removed from the player like it was.
netsync unfortunately doesn't work, and is sad to observe that nobody answered us.
