how: 2 diff vids playing on 2 different pcs but synced

Postby getmet » 12 Dec 2011 06:28

how do i play 2 different videos whcih are on 2 different pcs but synced. meaning if i press play on one video, the other will play as well.

what im trying to do:
I have two videos that work together which are syncronized to music. these videos play on a projector, but when i press play on one video, i want the other video using another video card to play at the same time... so over a network when i play one video, itll press play on the other one at the same time. any ideas?

I have same problem. I would like to synchronized 2 different videos on only 1 computer. Videos have same lenght. I tried to use following batch files:
1.
start "c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "c:\video1.avi" --control netsync --netsync-master --loop --video-x=10 --video-y=30 --embedded-video --fullscreen --no-qt-fs-controller
2.
start "c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "c:\video2.avi" --control netsync --netsync-master-ip 127.0.0.1 --loop --video-x=1600 --video-y=30 --embedded-video --fullscreen --no-qt-fs-controller

video takes about 6 minut, in the begining it seems to work fine, but after 1 or 2 hours starts to be videos unsync. Could you please help me? Did i anything wrong?

Thank you
J.

dont you know, why videos becomes unsync, this behaviour is erratic, becase it happens sometimes after 2hours and sometimes after 5 minutes. Unfortunatelly when it becomes unsync, it is getting worse and worse and it is not getting synchronized automatically, so i have to stop presentation and start it again. We need to have full stable synchronization during 10 hours. Could you please help me?
Thank you

% vlc udp://@239.255.1.1 --control netsync --netsync-master
And on the other clients: % vlc udp://@239.255.1.1 --control netsync --netsync-master-ip 192.168.0.1

How do you do this??? im confused. im sorry. Im trying to learn VLC but is this typed in command field console somewhere in vlc?? or bat file?? if so how do i code the bat?
"start "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" % vlc udp://@239.255.1.1 --control netsync --netsync-master" work???

okay i did the following

Master:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "C:\Users\username\Desktop\B.m2t" --control netsync --netsync-master <- master.bat

Slave:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "C:\Users\PCI\Desktop\song.m2t" --control netsync --netsync-master-ip 192.168.1.105 <-slave with ip address of master computer.

BUT only way it communicates a little is if i play slave first, (which ends up playing the file) then when i click the bat for the master, the slave pauses. Why????? and i want them syncing from the beginning

wat to do wat am i doing wrong?

VLC 1.1.x doesn't support m2t timecodes, so you have to use at least VLC 1.2.0, but ain't sure if it works with that either.
