sync mpv playback over network

synco

Watch anime (or anything else!) together with friends over network!

Usage:

1. Install go, setup GOBIN environment variable. You will need mpv. Alternatively, you could use gobin to install the package.

go get github.com/derlaft/synco/cmd/synco_server
go get github.com/derlaft/synco/cmd/synco_client

2. Run server.

synco_server -listen 0.0.0.0:4042

3. Setup client. Configuration is done via environment variables:

• SYNCO_ID is a unique client ID
• SYNCO_SERVER is server addr

SYNCO_ID=der SYNCO_SERVER=example.com:4042 synco_client filename.mpv

5. Press F1 to change your readiness. Once everybody is ready playback will be started.

Known issues

• On certain files it is not possible to scroll precisely. Currently such files make synco a little bit crazy and might cause playback loops.
