Syncing different video files #76

Closed NeoNatorX closed 5 years ago

Hi not an issue just a quick question

Can omxplayer-sync sync different videos? As in videos intended to be played side by side but are not the same video file eg an animated video of a red ball bouncing and another video of a blue ball bouncing

If it can what happens if the videos are different lengths?

Thanks for your help

You can run different files as long as you name them all the same. I'm running 24 different files, all with the same name and encoded identically and haven't had any issues. They are all the same length though. Perhaps of the master is the longest one... They will all follow the master so if they are longer, they'll restart when the master does.
