I though of it but I don't have idea of how to make two players
interact, is there an API or some RPC mechanism, etc. to make this
straight forward? Which was your approach in pascal?

With respect to having individual windows I read something about using
Devils Pie to manage and position them individually + automatically,
don't know to what extent this is viable especially in this case cause
videos are fullscreen (are there any windows in this case?)

I'll be looking at Jason Holt's patch for UDP sync and all the info
you people sent, got some homework to do.

Thanks!
