How to synchronize video viewing on different media players?

Hello.
There are two TVs. For each, I plan to purchase a Mi Tv Box and connect them via ethernet sockets.
I also plan to launch a media server with torrents and dlna. (as long as it's a raspberry pi)
What are the ways to sync video/video file browsing?
1) I watch a video on TV 1
2) I go to watch it on TV 2 and continue with the same video from the same moment where I left off on TV 1
So far, the only thing I could think of is to use one set-top box and some kind of miracast, but I don’t really want to load Wi-Fi when there is ethernet ... Maybe there are players for android with such a function? Kind of like the YouTube app, but with LAN support.

I don’t know for sure, but I think you need some analogue of IPTV. The principle of radio.
Option 2 - Emby / Plex type media combine server. I could be wrong, but in my opinion it remembers the last playback location.
Also, as an option, Kodi can “return to browsing”, it may be possible to synchronize several Kodi with each other.
PS
Forget about dlna, especially on raspberries.
In general, the idea of ​​dlna is good, the implementation is shit.
You will need at least an i5 or equivalent. Giga 4 RAM, well, SATA3 (USB and flash drives by).
