## Supported players
### mplayer2 on Linux
On Linux `syncplayClient.py` acts as a wrapper for mplayer.
You're expected to pass filename as the first positional argument. If you wish to pass more arguments to mplayer prepend them with -- argument, it's treated as the last argument for wrapper.
It launches mplayer which behaves just like normal (it reacts to keyboard shortcuts etc).
On Linux `syncplay` acts as a front-end for mplayer2.
To use it select "Open with..." in context menu and choose `Syncplay` or from command line: "syncplay video_filename". If you wish to pass more arguments to mplayer2 prepend them with -- argument, it's treated as the last argument for wrapper.
Default mplayer output is suppressed, but if mplayer quits with errors, those errors will be printed (at most 50 last lines).

1. Ensure that you have up to date version of `mplayer2` installed.
2. Download Syncplay tarball from https://github.com/Uriziel/syncplay/downloads and run "make install".
3. Open the media file you wish to play with `syncplay`, e.g. using "Open with...")
4. Enter configuration settings (see "Configuration window", below). Ensure that you are on the same server and room as your fellow viewers.
5. Playing, pausing and seeking from within the MPC-HC instance should now be synchronised with everyone else in the same 'room'.
### Opening a media file with Syncplay
Opening a file with `syncplayClient` will automatically run Syncplay and load the file through MPC-HC on Windows or mplayer on Linux.
