Answer 2

Faced the same need and after a few hours of googling it is not very convenient, but we managed to implement our plan (all manipulations were performed on a poppy):

• enable web interface in vlc settings
  
• type in terminal

  /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --http-port 8081

  to open
  vlc with non-default port
  
• in a new terminal window type open -n /Applications/VLC.appto open a separate vlc window with the default port 8080
  
• open the same file in both windows of the player and click "stop"
  
• enter in console

  curl localhost:8080/requests/status.xml?command=pl_pause ; curl localhost:8081/requests/status.xml?command=pl_pause

  and the file will start playing synchronously
  
• repeat the top command to pause. select in the window with the Russian audio track "Audio > Audio device" where to output the sound (I have some items empty, but in fact these are built-in speakers and 3.5mm jack. You can output to hdmi or airpods. Fine-tuning the output methods in the Audio-MIDI system utility ). In the second window, select another track and output.
  
• again press ꜛ in the console and "enter" and enjoy
  

I've tried many ways and they all didn't work well. I started by streaming the stream and receiving it in two other windows, but almost immediately got out of sync. Convenient socket control can be configured like this, but the commands only work for one window. I settled on this method. So you can connect to the phone and use it as a remote control, but all the software that you installed opens each port as a separate session and simultaneously press "play" will not work. Yes, and in the router you will have to bind the network ip to the mac address, otherwise you will have to change the address in the settings every time. It's easiest from the console. In fact, it doesn't take as much to include a movie as it does to argue about which language to watch in.
