Feature Request: Multi-Room Synchronized Playback for All Devices

Hello Emby Team,

 

I’d like to request a new feature:

Multi-room synchronized playback — the ability to play the same movie or TV show across multiple Emby devices in the same house, all perfectly in sync.

 

Why This Feature Matters

 

During Christmas, holidays, birthdays, parties, and family events, many of us want the same movie, music video, or background visuals playing on every TV in the home. Right now, there is no simple way to sync playback across multiple Emby clients inside the same household.

 

What This Feature Would Do

 

Choose a video

 

Select multiple Emby devices in the house

 

All screens play the same content at the same time

 

Sync stays tight if the host pauses, plays, or seeks

 

 

Why Emby Is Perfect for This

 

Emby already supports remote control and Watch Together.

Expanding this to local multi-room playback would be an amazing upgrade and a feature no other media server (except Apple TV via AirPlay) can currently offer.

 

Thanks for considering this — it would be incredibly useful for holidays and gatherings.
