Description

Hi,

would it be possible to implement an exact sychronization of the video playback on many computers.
I am running Aerial on 10 Macs at the same time (Version 1.6.1) - none of them are synchronized despite of having checked the synchronization box.
It would be very nice if all "synchronized" macs would fade into a video at the exact same spot together even if the start of the screensaver is at a different time.

Thanx

JM

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the synchronization-box behavior across multiple Macs, then trace the existing playback synchronization flow and define how different screensaver start times should converge; done means synchronized Macs fade into the same video position together.
