Module: netsync
Type Video output
First VLC version 0.8.0
Last VLC version -
Operating system(s) all
Description Synchronise remote VLC instances
Shortcut(s) -

Use this module to keep several clients synchronised on a single VLC stream.

  • netsync-master : Act as master default value: disabled
  • netsync-master-ip <string> : Master client ip address default value: ""


Common uses of this module are:

  • Synchronise lots of loud PC speakers during a party;
  • Synchronise several computers playing parts of a video wall.


Here's a small example:

We're going to be listening to a multicast stream.
Run a client as master syncronisation client (master has IP address 192.168.0.1):
% 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
