.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
|
.B syncplay
|
|
command.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
|
|
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
|
|
.\" respectively.
|
|
\fBsyncplay\fP is a program that 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.
|
|
|
|
There are known synchronization issues with VLC. If you experience such problems
|
|
use MPV instead.
