VPLAYER

vplayer is a simple videoplayer using xine (xine-lib) and SDL with OpenGL and is based on sxfe by Stefan Holst. Vplayer is able to synchronize video across a cluster of multiple nodes with a single master. The video should be available locally on the relevant machines (a networked file system is fine too).

To compile do the following:
$ tar zxf vplayer-0.1.tar.gz
$ cd vplayer-0.1
$ make

To play the movie "testmovie" on nodes "huey", "dewey "and "louie" with "donald" as the master (also responsible for the sound), you run

On all nodes, start the server last.

Vplayer was initially developed while I was working as a student programmer at the Center for Advanced Visualization and Interaction (CAVI) at the University of Aarhus.
