Module: netsync
Type Video output
First VLC version -
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 server 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:

On the server run (the server's IP address is 192.168.0.1):

% vlc input.mpeg --control netsync --netsync-master --sout "#std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.1}" 

And on the clients:

% vlc udp://@239.255.1.1 --control netsync --netsync-master-ip 192.168.0.1
