DESCRIPTION
Synchronized video viewing with chat and other features. Lightweight modern implementation and very easy way to run locally.

 

Supported players:
• Youtube (videos, streams and playlists)
• RAW MP4 videos and M3U8 playlists (or any other media format supported in browser)
• Iframes (without sync)

 

How to use?
1. Login with any nickname.
2. Add your video url with "plus" button below (youtube or direct link to mp4 for example).
3. Now it plays and syncs for all page users.
4. You can click "leader" button to get access to global video controls (play/pause, time setting, playback speed).
5. If you want to restrict permissions or add admins/emotes, see Configuration section.

NOTES
• Run the following cmds before building the container: 'mkdir -m755 /mnt/user/appdata/synctube' and 'curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartPhoneLover/unraid-docker-templates/main/templates/dependencies/synctube/config.json --output /mnt/user/appdata/synctube/config.json'.
• There's a Android client to connect to the server: 'https://github.com/RblSb/SyncTubeApp', but you will have to compile it yourself.
• Extra files (state.json, users.json) and directories (/crashes, /logs) will be generated inside '/../appdata/synctube/ dir, once launched. If you don't want them to be publicly available, change the Path settings from RW (read-write) to RO (read-only).

If you are going to report a bug or request something to be added/modified, please, take into consideration that I will only be able to apply changes for the work I own only. For example, if I create a docker template for an already existing docker image (not created by me), I won't be able to do more for that image than forward your report or request to the owner of the project.

This docker instructs me to type anything in the terminal to get command list. I can't seem to do this with the console found when right clicking the docker? Any ideas?

 

Thank you!

Hi, I'm not sure I understand your problem. Do you mean that you can't see the WebUI (port 4200)?

I'm having trouble figuring out where to mount and point local files for playback.
I've been mounting my files to
"/usr/src/app/user/movies"

but how do I point the playlist towards it? "/movies/file.mp4"?

 

or is it an issue with not having the same ip as server?

 

Thanks.

Yeah, that's for safety, you can add local video files only if you are host (same ip as a server).

Edit for anyone else:

Mounted a path to /usr/src/app/res/movienight

for my files so i'm able to access them by entering

/movienight/localfile.m3u8

 

Had problems with mp4 playback, I think its like remote users have to download the whole file before being able to watch.

I had no problems with playing when using m3u8 files.

 

Audio wouldn't work with 5.1 audio so I converted to 2 channel before exporting.
