As mentioned, clients must support the custom "API" I'm using. Only Emby for Kodi next gen 8.X is currently supporting that. I'll post the "APIs" as soon as they are final. They could be implemented in Emby (would be more nicely) OR kept them as they are. Currently I use regular Emby's text messages with commands included and must be parsed by the client.

Yes, but the offset is only necessary for really accurate sync between clients. < 1-2 second should always work.

chef 3745 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 You know what we'd have to try, is syncing a couple streams that are really far a part from each other. Then, try and sync multiple streams that are far away from each other. I have a feeling that initially we'd see some pretty intense lag, but we could figure out how to pause each stream as they start and then work some magic on unpausing them in a way that would keep them relatively synced. Do some kind of latency calculation. There is probably something written somewhere that calculates distance and latency based on connection speed etc. I dunno.

rbjtech 4270 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Is there a proof of concept out there that 'works' @chef ? I had a play with the unreleased plugin last week and it didn't appear to work at all, but that may have been an early release. I think all we can realistically do without Core support - is do more testing with each client in different scenario's (direct play, transcoding etc) and see what the results are. The confusion I have is we are using the same session control that the Introskip Plugin used - and that was extremely accurate down to 10th of a second - so could we do something like start all the streams and then within say 5 seconds, we just 'restart' all the sessions by telling them to play at 0:00 again ? By this time all the 'buffers' and transcodes etc are all complete - and we just re-sync before we start. Same with a 'pause or stop' - everything just re-sync's from 5 seconds previously. Dunno, we need more testing to see what works and what doesn't. Overall Sync within 2 seconds of each other to me is perfectly acceptable. Maybe release something with instructions - and we all use the same source file to feedback results - maybe use big buck bunny as it's free to use. http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4 We just need to get a feel for it - so no need for any formal feedback parameters at this stage.. ?

bugz000 9 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 any updates to this? emby really needs this feature, it can't be that hard to sync, even if it's not exact, just within a few seconds of eachother, or bond one transcode to all sessions so they play the same source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymichel 102 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'd definitely like to see this as soon as possible, but for future releases of this feature it'd be cool to have a text chat within it which would really set emby apart from the others that already have this feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e123enitan 237 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 As an alternative if you have emby for Kodi 8.xx above this feature is build therein and works for all devices, might be temp solution until emby implemented the feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugz000 9 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 there's a "watch party" feature for youtube within discord, along with a few other games etc, i wonder if an emby app within discord could do this, that'd be ideal tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discord is an electron app and Emby Theater is also Electron. Not sure the deeper side of things but could mean an easier integration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycedk 382 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Ok this is just a joke. Setup your webcam to record you screen, when you are watching a movie. Then stream it on discord Edited August 10, 2023 by jaycedk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e123enitan 237 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Setup kodi in windows with emby4kodi version 8 plus, once that is completed use emby for kodi to control other clients on your server to process watch together very simple it works perfectly for me.

MBSki 1016 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'd definitely like to see the Watch Party implemented so I can watch movies "in sync" with my watch party. But, in the meantime, I just text people from the watch party when I'm ready to watch and they click play on their Emby app around the same time that I click play. @bugz000 Is there a reason you're using discord rather just logging in on another device and watching on another device?
