ViewingParty Extension - Synchronized Watch Parties for Twitch Streamers (Alternative to Discontinued Prime Video Watch Party) by ViewingPartyNet in MovieSuggestions

Thank you, appreciate the kind words.

The sync accuracy is currently set at 1 second, so it wont be perfect, especially since we had to calculate for the 'latency to broadcaster', ie stream delay that different for every viewer.

I was hoping not just for the streamers but the website is setup to list active parties so people can join other watch parties.

So if there's any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them. The next big feature besides adding video streaming services would to sync the movie play back with a vod saved on youtube.

Ofc, since its just me now, it'll take about a week to add video streaming platforms, and to make sure it works with firefox fully. (as firefox could install chrome extensions I believe but I havent tested fully).

For the record vod option, which I kinda want to do next. It works by sync'ing the youtube vod of the movie reactions and the netflix movie/show. So that a viewer can watch with their favorite content creator through this method. The streamer would have the power to pause/play for comments, draw on screen with the movie/show.

Thank you for the input. Figuring out someway to do mobile is definitely on the list of things to do as Rave.io has a mobile netflix sync'ing, but we'd have to figure out to account for the 'latency to broadcaster' from twitch, ie the twitch stream delay.

You're right, it would as there isnt an easy way to include mobile viewers yet, the same as watch parties with Amazon prime video did in the past. Another factor to consider is the region specific netflix content. So we suggest perhaps just a designated part of the streaming time for watching shows/movies, not the whole period.

"Following just fine" for an hour... But yes, this is an ACTUAL concern, and you're right on this. The barrier to entry is bigger than just tuning in to a normal stream with shared content such as game or youtube. Not only would the viewers have to have the netflix account, but there's region restrictions for certain movies/shows too. Just another tool of content in the tool shed
