Try this if trouble syncing: 1. On a PC or laptop, right click on the LM video and then click "inspect". 2. Then go to the console tab in the new window that pops up and type in: document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 0.9591 3. Hit return and close (x) out the new window.

2024-02-29 18:08:58 +0000 UTCFor anyone else starting this reaction channel, I had problems syncing. Some people, like Dante here, were very helpful in later posts that will clear this up: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_44vuSXGi4&ab_channel=MathEasySolutions This video has a tutorial of my comment on the first episode. 11:43-14:44 is the part that shows it. The speed I use is 1.0428. Hopefully with this vid and my comment on episode 1 you can get it to work for you! Someone left a comment above mine on episode 1 explaining how to download it to VLC and change the speed that way as well. Good luck!" The way I did it was a bit different, and it might save future viewers a headache. Instead of SPEEDING UP The Wire, I SLOWED DOWN the viemo reactions posts from LM Reactions. Speeding up The Wire was a bit weird and noticeable, I don't notice the difference so much when I slow down LM Reactions. So for the speed I use to slow them down is: document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 0.958 It's almost perfect (ALMOST: I need to change the speed some more, this will take multiple viewings) at this point. Good luck and enjoy the show!!!!

2023-06-29 20:44:13 +0000 UTCDamn just joined and I cannot sync. I wish I did not join. I wish all reactors knew whatever trick some reactors use to just show what they are watching. Hello and goodbye.

2023-06-16 23:08:03 +0000 UTCSame for me. Downloaded the video and changed the speed with power director 959 PERFECT. THANK YOU👏👏👏👏👏

2023-06-06 11:01:39 +0000 UTCBrilliant! Thanks so much! I didn't know you could change video frame rate like that in the browser. I went the opposite way and slowed down the Vimeo video to 0.9592 while watching my copy of The Wire from iTunes.

2023-05-29 23:21:52 +0000 UTCThis no longer works for me now that the new MAX app isn't available outside the US it seems, let me know if you find a workaround.

2023-05-15 00:41:41 +0000 UTCI cannot get this to work and could use some help. Someone please I just want to enjoy the full lengths without trying to resync every minute. :(

2023-05-15 00:28:36 +0000 UTCI have tried all ways to sync but it seems impossible.. This is really frustrating I was looking forward to this.

2023-05-15 00:20:30 +0000 UTChey Tom, how can I change the speed to custom 0,96 on VLC?

2023-05-01 00:32:22 +0000 UTCI had no issues with the band of brothers playback but you could be right just throwing it out there in case it is something else.

2023-04-27 00:17:43 +0000 UTCThat is not why. It's because the European standard for playback is 25 fps but in North America its 24 fps. It happened with their Band of Brothers reactions too. TBH not sure why it doesn't happen with every show probably has to do with what they are watching on.

2023-04-27 00:13:32 +0000 UTCThe wire was "remastered" a few years ago into a wide-screen format by the creators.Some scenes were shortened/lengthened slightly frame by frame. Some frames got cut out as you would be able to spot the film crew in the background as they never knew it would be converted into a wide-screen format. Might be something else but might be worth checking which version you are watching. First time I've had syncing issues with any of your videos so think that's why it might be an issue specific to this show but could be wrong.

2023-04-26 23:45:19 +0000 UTCThanks for this mate! I was using Python to convert videos from mkv to mp4 and noticed the syncing of audio and video issue myself. An episode would start in sync but then gradually have the video faster than the audio, eventually being a full second out of sync by the end of the episode. I was so confused before eventually thinking of frame rate. Thankfully, locking the conversion to 25fps did the trick. It was annoying having to watch the first season of Mr. Robot where the episodes would eventually become out of sync before the code was fixed. But it was also so cool to be able to convert all the videos for completely free, and for a show that actually involves coding it was a total trip 😅 that's my story. If any of y'all want that code for converting videos drop me a line 👊

2023-04-26 09:22:53 +0000 UTCAhhh disappointing. My computer broke recently so I use my Xbox to watch the shows on my TV and I queue their reactions up on my phone. With no way to change the speed I guess I’ll have to skip these full reactions and opt for the regular YouTube reactions. I’ll look into it a bit and see if I can find a solution that’ll work for me

2023-04-26 07:50:59 +0000 UTCThank you! 1.0428 was still too slow for me, but 1.043 seems to be working well.

2023-04-26 03:26:19 +0000 UTCthey've never done a countdown, it's honestly not a big deal if you're ready for it since the audio is easy to sync with
Froziac
2023-04-26 03:21:13 +0000 UTCDo you not do a countdown or anything? Makes it a bit hard to sync when you don't do a countdown or show any beginning images.

2023-04-26 03:02:57 +0000 UTCThe way I sync it up is by right clicking on the HBO Max screen when the episode is paused, click “Inspect” then towards the bottom click the tab titled “Console” and type in document.querySelector(‘video’).playbackRate = 1.0428 and hit enter. I’ve found that this syncs it even closer than VLC I rarely ever have to pause to re-sync and I dont have to download LM’s video. You can mess with the playbackRate value to get it closer if it’s not working for you. I watch on 2 monitors though so not sure that it would work with picture in picture mode.

2023-04-26 02:27:57 +0000 UTCGenius. Thanks!

2023-04-26 01:41:59 +0000 UTCIf you click the Vimeo logo on the video you can download it from the Vimeo site, then play it in a player that can set a specific playback speed like VLC player. Playing it at 0.96 speed should make it pretty close.
Tom Evans
2023-04-26 01:34:42 +0000 UTCI'm gonna go ahead and guess that it's due to the fact that the European standard of playback for shows is 25fps whereas in the USA it's 24fps, leading to a slightly different speed that's eventually noticeable.
