Sync problem at begining of a loop

[60-hz]

I have a problem running omxplayer-sync in my Slave raspberry pi. It try to re-sync and pause the movie every beginning of a loop.

After 5 second11, I see this brief message:

"Pause 00:00:05 / 00:01:00" "seek 00:00:08 / 00:01:00"

and next second:

"Play 00:00:09 / 00:01:00"

The problem is that this re-sync is very noticeable on the screen... (see here: http://raphael.isdant.free.fr/videos/sync-pb.m4v) I use raspberry Pi 2 and 3 connected using ethernet cable, no other files in the video folder. It happens also with other video at another timecode...

Thanks for your help

Here is the verbose output of my slave raspberry pi:

local: 5.53 13 master: 5.41 10 deviation: -0.12 median_deviation: -0.12 filename: Videos/synctest.mp4 jump to 8.41 enter pause... local: 9.04 1 master: 6.42 10 deviation: -2.62 median_deviation: -0.13 filename: Videos/synctest.mp4 we are sync, play... local: 9.06 2 master: 7.43 11 deviation: -1.63 median_deviation: -0.13 filename: Videos/synctest.mp4 local: 9.08 2 master: 8.45 11 deviation: -0.63 median_deviation: -0.13 filename: Videos/synctest.mp4

The switch from one video to the next is still something that is hard to optimize because a new omxplayer instance needs to started for each video. A re-sync between different movies can happen.

If you disable the verbose mode of omxplayer-sync, i.e. do not pass the -v flag, it will also not display any timecodes on the display while syncing. It would still sync, but without the times shown on screen.
