This is great, I've wanted something like this in the past! Thanks for building. I'll be giving it a try for a watch party I was planning with friends.
Mind sharing how it works and what stack you used?
- l1am0 7y agoAwesome, hope it all works out. Stack is quite simple: Frontend: Bulma.css, Vanilla Javascript, HTML Backend: PHP, MariaDB It works by redirecting in the right moment to the streaming sites, via a JavaScript redirect. The voice chat is done via https://meet.jit.si/ https://meet.jit.si/ To handle potential big load, I force cloudflare to cache all sites under url /p/* thereby after the creation of the watch party, no request hits my server anymore :D
- joecot 7y agoI'm guessing it doesn't handle people pausing the video like Netflix Party or SyncLounge does then?
- l1am0 7y agoNo that is currently not possible, as there is no way of getting the information about the playback from the website. To enable this feature a browser plugin would be required again. With Binge Together I opted for not supporting that in favor of an easier use. (Not everyone included needs to install the extension etc.)
