Methods, systems, and media for synchronizing audio and video content on multiple media devices

A media device for synchronizing audio and video content, the media device comprising:

• an audio component for presenting audio content;
• a video component for presenting video content;
• and
• a hardware processor coupled to the audio component and the video component that:
• receives an indication of a media content item to be presented using the media device;
• determines that the media device is associated with a group of media devices for presenting the media content item, wherein the group of media devices includes the media device and at least one audio device that presents the audio content associated with the media content item;
• generates an audio timestamp that controls the presentation of the audio content on the group of media devices;
• generates a video timestamp that controls the presentation of the video content on the group of media devices based on the generated audio timestamp;
• and
• causes the video content associated with the media content item to be presented using the generated video timestamp and causing the audio content associated with the media content item to be simultaneously presented by the at least one audio device in the group of media devices by transmitting the audio timestamp to the at least one audio device in the group of media devices.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for synchronizing audio and video content, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a media device having an audio component for presenting audio content and a video component for presenting video content, an indication of a media content item to be presented using the media device;
• determining that the media device is associated with a group of media devices for presenting the media content item, wherein the group of media devices includes the media device and at least one audio device that presents the audio content associated with the media content item;
• generating an audio timestamp that controls the presentation of the audio content on the group of media devices;
• generating a video timestamp that controls the presentation of the video content on the group of media devices based on the generated audio timestamp;
• and
• causing, at the media device, the video content associated with the media content item to be presented using the generated video timestamp and causing the audio content associated with the media content item to be simultaneously presented by the at least one audio device in the group of media devices by transmitting the audio timestamp to the at least one audio device in the group of media devices.
