    I use it for streaming to my phone on the train to work.

    It also has a really nice feature where it can sync between 2 or more people. Even when they choose 2 formats or audio tracks.

    So for example if you and your friend wants to watch anime. You enjoy hearing Japanese and reading the subtitles but they prefer English dub. Well you can still sync up and watch (given your source has both Audio tracks)

      Have you had a good experience using syncplay?

      Every time I use it I get horrible desync between people

      I’ve literally coded my own website that acts as an alternative to syncplay, and has a chat on the side as well

        I had issues before I swapped to reverse proxying on my own hardware. Before that it would drop the websocket? And just kneel over and abandon the group.
