Syncplay behaviour

The following information is sent from the client to the server:

  • Public IP address of client and other necessary routing information (as per TCP/IP standards).
  • Media position, play state, and any seek/pause/unpause commands (associated with the instance of the media player initiated by Syncplay).
  • Size, duration, and filename of currently open media (associated with the instance of the media player initiated by Syncplay).
  • Syncplay version, username, server password and current 'room' * Ping responses to assess latency.

Note: The current official build of the Syncplay server does not store any of this information. However, some of the information (not the IP address) is passed on to other users connected to the server (or just to those in the same room if 'isolation' mode is enabled).

The server has the ability to control the following aspects of the instance of the media player initiated by Syncplay:

  • Current position (seek commands).
  • Current play state (pause and unpause commands).

The following aspects of the media player are affected, but not controlled, by the server:

  • OSD / On-screen display (for the display of messages).
  • Playback rate (for slowdown due to time difference).

The client affects the following files: * Modifying .syncplay file in %APPDATA% (or $HOME on Linux version) folder to store configuration information.

Note: This behaviour can be disabled by using the --no-store command-line switch (see "Command-line switches", above)
