I just wanted to drop a comment here as this has been requested by a few folks on my server lately. For now they say they get on a discord voice chat then all click the play button at the same time.

It works but gets a little out of sync & if one pauses they have to re-sync it again manually.

Even if a sync'ed watch party method worked without internal voice (there r plenty of other apps like Discord to do this) we would be happy on our end.

Anyway, I just thought I'd add to this request too. 🙂

Four years and we don't have this. Is this on the roadmap. Watching with family in remote locations was a great feature of Plex. I understand even Jellyfin has it.

The problem is that we don't have any information about an expected date for this feature. Emby's staff only say "it's planned", but this could will be one year o ten years...

Is there any news on this? I really miss this feature!

I too am adding my vote.

I bought Emby and I don't regret it. But something I am not interested in doing is also buying Plex. I still hope Emby remains the one media server to rule them all! :)

Jellyfin also has this feature now and it is free.

Plex was completely free, at one time.

I honestly don't get how Jellyfin can have this feature before Emby. We have been asking for that feature many years ago and still not a single sign of life, how dissapointing.

If it were that easy I would say it would already be done but personally don't see this working across multiple platforms and playback methods in any good way.

I haven't seen the Plex one but the JF one works well.  Turn about is fair play, so Emby devs could in theory implement the JF changes directly since JF is open source or use it as a jumping off point so I don't suspect difficulty is the reason Emby does not have it yet.

We will not refer to or take code from an OSS project.

We don't take code from it.  We use it and we contribute code to it.

One is a library designed and intended to be used as a building block. The other is not that.

Correct.  Very different situations.

But using someone else's code would require it to be published correct?

You're conflating "can't" with "don't".
