Use cloned VLCJ in multiple windows

Question

I want to have two copies of same video in two different JFrames! At the moment I have achieved that 2 videos is displaying but only one is "integrated" into a JFrame. As far as I've read it's not fully developed to be integrated with all copies.. Am I wrong in this? Also is there any other way to achieve what I want?

This is my code playing stuff in 2 JFrames and also a JFileChooser for simplicity.

public class MyMultiDisplay
{
    List <String> argsList;
    MediaPlayerFactory mediaPlayerFactory;
    EmbeddedMediaPlayer player;
    JFrame frame1;
    JFrame frame2;

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new NativeDiscovery().discover();

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
        {
            public void run()
            {
                new MyStart();
            }
        });
    }

    public MyMultiDisplay()
    {
        frame1 = new JFrame("My First Media Player");
        frame1.setBounds(100, 100, 600, 400);
        frame1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame2 = new JFrame("My Second Media Player");
        frame2.setBounds(700, 500, 600, 400);
        frame2.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        argsList = new ArrayList <String>();
        argsList.add("--video-splitter=clone");
        argsList.add("--clone-count=2");
        mediaPlayerFactory = new MediaPlayerFactory(argsList);
        player = mediaPlayerFactory.newEmbeddedMediaPlayer();
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas();
        player.setVideoSurface(mediaPlayerFactory.newVideoSurface(canvas));
        frame1.add(canvas);
        frame1.setVisible(true);
        frame2.setVisible(true);
        JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
        int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
        if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
        {
            player.playMedia(chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());
        }
    }
}

Almost a year later I decided that for completeness i'll post my final solution here if anyone else ever find their way here!

I created a library project using VLCJ as base able to in a really easy way use the DirektMediaPlayer to play the same video to multiple frames/windows/surfaces/JComponents/whatever in a really simple manner. It is not that resource heavy either in my unexperienced experience. 100 windows at the same time playing the same video and still no lag!
