Abstract
In a system that includes two or more computing systems connected to a computer network, a network control and synchronization (NetSync) application controls the in-sync playback of media files across different computing systems in the network, where each computing system is playing a local version of a media file using a local instance of a Media player. The NetSync application receives status messages from all Media players and controls the playback of all media files by sending them playback commands based on the received status messages, so that video playback among the players is in sync with a Master Media player. Alternatively, media playback across all Media players is based on user-entered playback commands, such as Play, Pause, Stop, and the like, entered using either the NetSync application interface or NetSync command scripts.
