I and my friend (physically located very far) want to listen to songs sometimes. The songs are mostly from YouTube. What we need is synchronization plus editable playlist.
For example, both of us should be able to add songs (that is drop YouTube links) and the app should queue them and play in order.
Not just for songs, we sometimes want to watch movies/YouTube videos together too...
So far what we do is, create a Jitsi Meet link and use it's Share YouTube video feature [1].
For songs, we can't find a good UX/FOSS solution yet, so we just use Telegram's group call feature with a bot that can play audio through it. [2]
Anybody found yourself in similar situation and got a better (FOSS preferred) solution? :)

- Xerox9213 3y agoI haven’t tried this myself but I wonder if Jellyfin’s SyncPlay feature would work well for this. And as for adding YouTube videos, there are quite a few options, I would try Jdowloader. I’m not sure how it would work with your friend adding videos. Perhaps giving them access to a docker container Jdownloader instance with your Jellyfin directories mapped to it.
- arun-mani-j 3y agoYea I considered that once too like having a small web app which takes a link and downloads it via ytdlib and then sync it with Jellyfin. :)
