The Wire 1x01 Full Reaction

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.

For 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!!!!

Damn 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.

I have tried all ways to sync but it seems impossible.. This is really frustrating I was looking forward to this.

You have made it impossible to cancel my subscription. Damn you both.

I 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.

The 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.

HBO Max with VPN to Serbia worked for me.

Do 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.

The 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.

If 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.

your version seems to be a little fast
