Synchronize playback position between players

[izderadicka]

I've seen this requirement in discussion on reddit. It would be surely cool functionality, but not easy to implement. My initial thoughts:

No immediate plans in audioserve. It'll require significant change+ new functionality. Theoretically I was thinking about separate service/process, where each player can publish position (using WebSocket connection while playing?). And get updates when starts to play after pause. Then decides if wants to continue from local position or skip to latest remote position. Something like this. But this will require a lot of work.

Would be a nice feature

First version of playback positions sharing/synchronization is now in latest version.
As it's still fresh and probably not ideal I'll leave this issue for a while for comments, feedback etc.

Ok, let's assume that this imperfect and unreliable solution is ok for now, I close this issue.
