Mplayer framebuffer trying to take screenshot on udp-slave

Hi,
    I'm using mplayer in framebuffer with udp-master and udp-slave to synchronise two videos and my goal
is to take a screenshot on the slave by pressing 's' or 'S' on the master one.

I've try placing the option in ~/.mplayer/config

vf=screenshot

but it take a screenshot only on the master.

If I remove the filter in ~/.mplayer/config and place it on the mplayer command with udp-slave like this :

mplayer -vo fbdev2 -vf screenshot -zoom -xy 1920 -quiet -idle -cache 102400 -cache-min 2 -udp-slave - &

i get this error without any screenshot :

sending VFCTRL_SCREENSHOT!!
failed (forgot -vf screenshot?)

Seems like the doc on slave control said that he need the "screenshot 0" command so,
is there a way I could send "screenshot 0" to the slave pressing the 's' on the master?

Thanks,
