What a great project, I've got a quick question for you. I can get the omxplayer-sync to play back the server file, and I can get the clients to play back their files, but I can't seem to get the clients to respond to the server. Is there a certain order to executing the scripts? Sometimes too, there will be an endless ping for frame checks that never gets a response. Any suggestions would be very appreciated! Thanks!

there is no certain order to run the scripts. just remember to put the variables eg: omxplayer-sync -mu /link/to/mediafiles this starts as the master with endless looping, -lu starts as slave with endless looping. does one slave directly connected to the master responds to the master?

I am not getting any reaction from the master on the clients- do I need to reference their ips? They have static ips and I can access them via ssh.. Some more details behind my issue... To launch omxplayer-sync is only possible within the omxplayer-sync folder. I have to type /.omxplayer-sync etc instead of just plain old omxplayer-sync could I be doing something wrong there with how I compiled ur omx build? Also, when u list movie1.mp4 and movie2.mp4 for the commands on both the master and slave, to which player is which movie designated? Is movie1 playing on the master locally and movie 2 playing on the slave locally? I do get local checks from the master and the slave but the master check values on the slave never change from 0. Is this making sense? Thanks for your quick responses!

I meant no reaction on the clients from the master, of course the master wouldn't react to the clients sorry for the typo
