mpv-netsync

for the time when you want to watch something with friends in sync over the net

Usage

• mpv --script=client.lua - for clients
• mpv --script=master.lua - for room hosts

Remember: there can be multiple room clients, but there can be only one host.

Installation

Client side

1. Install curl and mpv - the latter should install lua
2. ???
3. Profit!

Server/OP side

1. Modify index.php - set the password and such
2. Host the file somewhere available from both sides. It will act as a backend server
3. Distribute or host configured client.lua for others
4. Configure your own master.lua and use it as a controller
5. ???
6. Even more profit!

Quirks

• Dropped frames shouldn't be a problem, but slow connection could
