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 players across a network, following a conductor/follower model. You are also able to use a single conductor for a simple video loop.
In simple terms, this tool makes it possible synchronize videos playing on different computers (Raspberry Pi) using a program called VLC. The conductor computer sends signals to the follower computers, telling them when to start or loop a video so that they all stay perfectly in sync. This guide exists to replace the outdated Making a video installation with Raspberry Pi tutorial.
Getting started
You can use vlc-sync downloading our ready-to-use Raspberry Pi images from our website. If you want to synchronize videos between two Pi's, make sure to download both the conductor and follower images. For a simple video loop you can download either.
