Does this do something like rebroadcasting the stream, or does it merely sync your place on a show using their own Netflix account?

- melvinram 11y agoI'd assume it just syncs the place. Otherwise, there would be a whole legal component to this that would likely result in a swift shutdown.
- eremzeit 11y agoActually, there's another product that does that and somehow gets away with it. They actually open netflix on a virtual machine and use a ton of hacks to make it look like its you controlling it. The performance is horrible though because there is two hops. https://rabb.it/ https://rabb.it/
- eremzeit 11y agoGood question. It uses websockets to send/receive sync commands to each individual browser, each of which has its own instance of netflix. So theoretically every user still needs to have their own Netflix account.
