Hi,
I'm trying to seamlessly (as close as possible) sync 12 HD223 players running 1080p30 content (1 video per player, all 30 mins long) with a stereo audio track on every second player (for 12 channels total). So far I've been using the Enhanced Sync method through BA connected/brightauthor that usually serves me fine, but I'm really noticing the loop point this time around, perhaps because it's a longer presentation than I normally do, or maybe I've gotten lucky in the past with content that masks this pause (start and end on black for instance).
The main issue is that the some of the players drift faster than the master, with the result that they hang for up to a couple of seconds on the last frame waiting for the master to catch up before the loop restarts. I can mitigate this by adding a couple of seconds of footage to the content of all the follower players, but I find even so that there is a little pause when the Synchronize event occurs, which I would prefer to lose altogether if possible.
I've contacted support about this but thought I'd try here too seeing as the user community seems to come up with some great solutions regularly. I've solved many issues in the past just by searching these forums. Haven't been able to find an answer yet though, hence the new post.
I'm currently experimenting with scripts in the hope that I can get a better result, however I'm right out of my depth. I found some syncing code here posted by Zach Poff which seems to work great on the video syncing side but I've found that it cuts out the audio on all players after the first loop. I was also hoping to combine the UDP volume control element of another script but I have no idea how to successfully do that kind of script editing. Any tips would be most welcome!
