Abstract
A method for controlling a rendering time of a second video content stream on a second device to be synchronized with a rendering time of a first video content stream on a first device, said second video content stream being organized in chunks, includes receiving by a control device a request of a chunk of the second video content stream from the second device, receiving by the control device, the packets of the requested chunk, and delivering by the control device the requested chunk to the second device at a delivery time at which said requested chunk should be delivered to the second device so that the rendering time of the second video content stream on the second device is synchronized with the rendering time of the first video content stream on the first device.
