Party Watch With Sync

[Roblin1971 1]

Couple of apps, ive been experimenting with. 
Both of them allow you to watch in sync with other persons using separate devices. 
Tested it with 4 devices at the same time, only the iPhone on 5G was slightly out of sync, maybe 100/200ms. 
The basic premise is, you choose something to watch, create a party, other users can then join the ip/port of the watch party ( i was using port forward during test, havent tested using tail scale etc), they choose the username they have signed into on their embay app. 
Select the devices, from start playback, then start selected. 
You can use seek to sync all users, has to be 1:00 etc, entering 1 will take you back 1. Pause play end all do what they say. Chat box is available also. 
A couple of thinbgs i am workig through, sometimes the app doesn play on an external device, create the party again, the party creator, go back tp lobby, rejoin party and select devices again and it should work. 
The emby app has to be open on screen for phones, android tvs, shield etc. 

Two versions of the app. 
A standalone version that only has the watch party.
A full suite version, that syncs with trakt to create a smart playlist, using your watched/liked history from trakt, also universe builder (MCU Playlist for example), analysis of genres, year etc to give yoou suggestions watch to watch in your library. 
Send to radarr and sonarr for missing items.

Claude AI has helped me with bug fixing, socket issues, stuff. that was way above my level of experience.  Plus the pain of writing a full install and user guide. 

If anyone uses or test it, give me somefeedback please.. 

I built them using synology container manager. USe docker or the container magaer to build and deploy. 
running on a hp micro gen 8 with a xeon cpu, 12gig of ram, 0 cpu usage because it only instructs emby to play, doesnt do any hard lifting.
