Help with multimedia project with multiple raspberries

[mvs]

Hey.
I am planning a big project using raspberry pi's, and I want to know what people with more experience recommend in my case.

I have 10 TVs and each TV has one raspberry PI. All raspberries are playing a video which is managed from a local machine with VLC installed. All TVs are playing the same content and at the same time, so the video is syncronized. All raspberryes, are in the same local network as its the server.

I want to rebuild this project as it fail sometimes. Also, the person who makes the videos change quite often, is always a trouble to get them working with VLC with remote desktop as is not straightforward to most people.

So now is when I need help. I was hoping that somebody know a open source project, like a Web app or something where I can edit content (can be videos, images, music, streaming, whatever), and from that web app (or other thing), I would be able to "send" or stream the content to all raspberries. Is like having a dedicated server responsable for managing the content, and having the raspberries displaying the content.

Does anybody have some experience with this. I searched the bottom of google and I still dont get any different solution from the one I already have. Does not have to be like I describe, can be a compatible solution, as long as it works

Thank You, and have a Nice day!

How exactly syncronized does the displays need to be ?

There might be a few "signage" solutions that can fulfill your requirements: https://elinux.org/RPi_Projects/Digital_Signage

All TVs must play the same content at the same time.

Thanks

But with what precision ? seconds or milliseconds ?

If its a 4 minute video does it matter if one screen is 2 seconds faster than another ?

Sorry for not being specific. 2-4 Seconds is fine. More then that starts to be a problem.

My original suggestions are then still valid. If the Pis clocks are well synced then a digital signage solution should be able to start playing a video at a set time on multiple screens.
