Start playback on multiple XBMC players at same time.
#1
Hi

I have searched around but cannot seem to find a direct answer for this, we plan to do an expo and we have 4 flat screens where I would like to start playback at exactly the same time of the same video file. basically a digital signage option from a central file server.

i was wondering if it could be done with the new play to feature or maybe through SSH? or can you have a master player with several slaves?

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

No you can't, but what you probably want is an hdmi splitter. One computer, multiple TVs.

You could try sending them all a JSON command to play the file, but it is very unlikely that they will actually synchronise perfectly.
