Syncplay server

Allows you to watch movies with friends or family at different places synchronized via the internet.

When a viewer pauses/continues playback or seeks within their media player this will be replicated across all media players connected to the same server in the same viewing session. A chat function is included so viewers can discuss the movie while watching it. To improve the communication experience for viewers, the Syncplay developers and this package suggest to use additional VoIP (package mumble) or video phone (package jami) software.

Technically, it synchronizes the position and play states of multiple mpv, VLC, MPC-HC and MPC-BEmedia player instances so viewers' players present the same movie at the same time.

In case your friends and family do not use Debian, Syncplay is available for other operating systems on the upstream website.
