Synchronize Premium Players

Prev Next

Premium players on the same local network can be synchronized if either of these conditions are met:

  • Players are playing the same content.
  • The duration is the same for all playlist items across all playlists.

Add Sync Custom Setting

  1. Add this custom setting to the leader player:
    1. Name: syncmode
    2. Type: string
    3. Value: master
  2. Add this custom setting to the follower player(s):
    1. Name: syncmode
    2. Type: string
    3. Value: slave

Specify different multicast IP and port to add multiple sync groups to the same local network:

These settings must be added as well as the 'syncmode' settings above.
  1. Add these custom settings to each player in a sync group:
    1. Name: Network.Multicast.IP
    2. Type: string
    3. Value: 224.1.1.124
  2. Name: Network.Multicast.Port
    1. Type: int
    2. Value: 4000
Example:

First sync group:
IP - 224.1.1.124

Second sync group:
IP - 224.1.1.125

Layers in the same layout will automatically sync if all playlist items are the same duration. Multiple screens with one display use the same layout.
