I have installed your sync system and am very impressed that it works... I will spend the next few days digging in to it - and try to learn how it works

but a quick question or two:

do you have any plans to update the system? (specifically the onxplayer build) I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 (yay) and I am wondering is a fresher build could utilize the new expanded resources of the RPi2 specifically to achieve better sync. I am getting between two and four frame sync and I am looking to achieve 1-2 frame sync (or better! as in scanline sync!! :-) )

also after playing a file for some time in a loop the sync can take up to 40 sec to be found

thank you for your efforts most appreciated

and oh PS on the current version of rasbian it seems that there is no need to install dbus as it is in the distro

If you start omxplayer-sync in verbose mode on the slave, what is the value of the moving_deviation? You could to try to lower the TOLERANCE variable at the top of the script. A tolerance of 0.25 means that omxplayer-sync won't sync unless the slave is 0.25 seconds (~6 frames) ahead or behind the master. So if you got constant deviations you could try to lower the TOLERANCE.

Is this still an open issue?
