> Is there such a feature? I think not. Or maybe not yet. Reading time and again thru the manpage with that very issue in mind, I thougt it might be worth trying to tell mplayer to use the clock for timing, keeping the clocks of the computers in sync via ntpd. That's a bit of a strange procedure and leaves the problem to start the players at exactly the same time, but it might be an approach. Have never tried it, though. > Is anyone else interested in working on this? I would love to work on that if mplayer was written in pascal. Unfortunately I'm C-illiterate. The ultimate solution would be imho to teach mplayer to read SMPTE-timecode coming from a named pipe or something similar, that would be a multi-purpose solution to a whole bunch of timing and positioning issues. I would be very happy to read some words about your question from one of the developers. Greets, Kiste
