Description:
Synchronize video playback for two or more users, so that you can enjoy watching a movie together with your friends, regardless of location. With its help, the state of multiple media players can be kept in sync at all times, so that users can watch the same thing at the same time. Support for a few popular players, namely VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC), mplayer2 and mpv. Based on a client-server architecture, it creates virtual rooms on the hosted server, synchronizing all the players of connected users. There are public servers available, but users that are concerned with privacy protection will be glad to find out that they can host their own password-protected server. Syncplay is only designed to sync playback of media player, but it does not provide video streaming options and is not capable of detecting the opened file. However, each client application can be instructed to send raw or hashed information related to the loaded video file to the server, which warns users about duration and file mismatches.
Note:
The portable edition is official but a bit behind the latest release, at current writing the portable is v1.3.1 and the last release is v1.3.4 which was released 6 months later.
