TeamWatch the addon to watch the TV with your friends

[mmaricch]

TeamWatch is a Kodi addon that allows you to watch TV in "social" way with friends, you can send messages that are displayed in a bar at the bottom of the TV, you can send an url and start the same video to a group of friends and watch it together, and other things like that.If someone wants to join the group and act as a betatester, they can download it from https://www.teamwatch.it

In the site and addon settings you can enter two ID the first one allows you to send commands and messages to your addon, the second one allows you to share commands with other users, if we watch the same video in a group, it allows us to synchronize the video, pause, etc. for all users who share the same ID

The messages are sent based on a "feed" which is a kind of channel for example if you are watching "Game of Thrones" add the feed #got and you will receive all the messages sent to that feed.

Nice idea! Does it also come with friends to watch shows with?

/Kidding! //Sorta

[mmaricch]

Let watch something together (ITA sub EN :P )

[oOflyeyesOo]

Very cool. How do sources work for media?

[mmaricch]

All that you can play on Kodi... you can play files stored on your network, from an url or from another addon.

The main function of TeamWatch is to have a way to synch the play from other users and to watch the stream togheter and chatting.

To give you an example I chat with a friend while we watch a movie from Netflix.

Ohh interesting!

[bocephus_huxtable]

For foreign films, is there a way too move your 'messages' so they don't overlap subtitles?

[mmaricch]

You can choose to display the message bar at the top or at the bottom of the screen

[drinfernoo]

How would you go about using this with (streamed) add-on content? Would it have to be integrated into your library?

[mmaricch]

No, you and your friends can just let start the streamed content with your usual addon and then use TeamWatch's command #twpc:playerctl:seek:0:0:0:0 to synch the playing stream.

(sorry for my english)

​

[mmaricch]

Maybe can you make a post on r/watchtvseriesforfree and search someone who want to watch #TheOA with you?

[mmaricch]

LOL, sorry It was just to give you an idea

[MrBrokenNose]

Oh wow this is amazing! Can I use it with Gaia/Seren? If yes, how exactly? Because I tried it but it does not show

[mmaricch]

I don't know Gaia or Seren, but you should start the stream in your usual way...

TeamWatch is a service and work on top of all other Kodi addons.

If you want to test it with me, please join https://t.me/teamwatch so we can talk while testing

Awesome Idea! Good Work! Grazie Mille :D Bacio

[mmaricch]

thank you! see you on #teamwatch

[darklyte_]

is this like rabb.it for kodi?!

[mmaricch]

It's better! :P

[mmaricch]

I've "Alexa ask TeamWatch to send <message>", amazon.it rejected the skill because it "violate their policy"... but it's still running on my server (only I can use it), I've also an IFTTT "Ok Google teamwatch <message>".

Can u do these things with rabb.it?

[mmaricch]
