[MPlayer-users] Playlists and network synchrony

Hi, I'm running mplayer with network sync
(http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/networksync.html) and feeding playlists to
it. The playlists are loaded through setting both master and clients to slave
mode (-slave -idle -input=/fifo) and passing a loadlist command to the FIFO. So
far, so good.

The problem is: the client loses synchrony with the master often when videos
end. Apparently the client sometimes finishes its video first, then moves to the
next on in the list, meanwhile the master sets the time to the end of the
stream, which makes the slave move to the next video again. And voila, they are
playing two different videos.

Is there anyway to solve this problem?
