IIRC the hardware players have v. accurate clock and the sync protocol is more interested in comparing the differences in elapsed time between players. One of the problem with software players on PC is that the PC cloick ewas oftent not vbery accurate and so PC based softplayers often didn't sync very well. It is very interesting to see what is actually happening when players are in sycn by enabling player.sync logging to INFO or DEBUG and see how the server and player adjust. Add in a softplayer such as SoftSqueeze (which I think doesn't have the latest sync protocol features) on a PC to see the larger adjustments being made. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97406 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
