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
