SyncLounge

SyncLounge (Previously PlexTogether) is a tool to sync Plex content across multiple players in multiple locations.

While a live version is available at synclounge.tv, the project can be built and deployed completely separate from synclounge.tv. A handful of public SyncLounge Server instances are also provided to everyone for free use.

How it works

SyncLounge aims to keep multiple viewing sessions in sync regardless of whether the clients are in the same room or across the globe. To do this, SyncLounge utilizes a middle-man server to communicate between each of the SyncLounge clients. Users choose their Plex client, decide on a SyncLounge Server and Room name, and join up. Your friends/family can do the same.

Whoever joins the room first will become the host. The host has complete control over a room. Commands they send to their client will be sent through to other people in the room (Play, Pause, Seek etc). If the host starts playing something different, SyncLounge will search all of your available Plex Media Servers for an equivalent copy, even if it is not from the same Plex Media Server as the Host.

Features
• Syncing between Plex Clients over the Internet
• SyncLounge Player: Plays content directly within SyncLounge.
• Settings to tune SyncLounge to your environment, such as a Client Polling Interval, Sync Flexability, Plex Media Server blocking, and 2 sync methods:
- Clean seek - Seeks straight to where the host is.
- Skip ahead - Seeks 10 seconds ahead, pauses and then resumes 10 seconds later.
• Autoplay content
- SyncLounge will automatically search all of your available Plex Media Servers for content that is similar to the Host.
• Plex Media Server Browsing - find, search and fling content to Plex Clients from within SyncLounge.
• Metadata fetching from Plex Media Server
• Chat to others in your room
• Password locked rooms
• Invite others via generated short link
• Movies and TV Shows (Music not supported)
