Pause and Unpause multicast stream in VLC player

[mbullock976]

Hello

I have a question regarding mutlicast stream playback in VLC Player.

If I have 2 instances of VLC media player playing back one multicast stream then they both display the stream as synchronized, which is what I would expect.

If however, I then pause one of the VLC player instances by pressing the pause button, wait for 5 secs, then unpause.

My question is should the 2nd player instance remain 5 secs behind the 1st player, or should the 2nd player catch up and with the 1st player, as it is multicast?

My result at the moment, is the 2nd player remains 5 secs behind

Thank you for any help

Yes, that will enable timeshifting. Use stop/play if you want to stay in sync.
