vlc-sync is a modern adaptation of OMXPlayer-Sync, using VLC as a replacement for the deprecated OMXPlayer. This implementation facilitates the synchronization of multiple VLC instances across a network, following a conductor/follower model. You are also able to use a single conductor for a simple video loop.

Getting started

There are two ways to start using vlc-sync. Running the script manually or using the ready-to-use Raspberry Pi images.
