Didn't see this posted anywhere (did a search already), ignore if this is a repost.
This site allows you to create a "chatroom" where your friends can join (up to 4 for now i think). The host can paste in youtube URLs and load it for everyone. The host is now the person controlling the play/pause/location of video for everyone.
You can watch it with friends now without someone that's 5 seconds ahead of you scream "omgomgomgomg" before you get to the peak action. Still fairly new so not a whole lot of features... I'd like to see the ability to do full screen, and maybe the youtube video description.
Enjoy.
edit: ahh yes... forgot the link: http://www.synchtube.com/

This is pretty awesome. I would like to watch music videos in sync with other people to see their reactions to different parts of videos. If you send someone a youtube-link, there's like a 50% chance they won't even watch it lol

haha, great first post.
thanks, plan on using this fairly often
|
haven't tried this yet but sounds great if it works properly
|
it works, but waiting for ppl the buffer is srsly annoying. we're always less than a second off, but i guess its good enough
|
Don't really need this but nice anyway. When I watch youtube with friends over the internet we usually count down from 3 and start at 0.

Same thing here.
This is pretty kickass xD

I'll kind of miss counting down.
But then again, sometimes my friend is retarded and screws up, randomly leaves the computer...

This can only do good things for the SC community. Thanks for the headsup!

Needs support for 15+ people so we can watch GI Joe again.

me and my college dormmate sitting across from each other (but not facing each other) used to sync new Bleach anime episodes together, such that we would have surround sound (due to his and my speakers) and we would be like "OHHHMGGG!!! dsafjdsfks" at the same times irl, good times.

Hey all.
I'm actually the developer of that app, and being a fellow StarCraft player I just wanted to apologize for not implementing the full screen -- I forgot! Thanks for pointing it out cwbera.
Anyway, I put it back in. Just wanted to let you all know.
OK, back to watching some SC2 replays
Cheers

For when you don't ever want to see your friends in person!
Lol reminds me when i called my friends up and watched the same movie and talked over the phone.
|
Bump.
This site really needs to be revisited, they've done a lot of improvements since the last time I checked. They added a playlist function and the ability to watch with up to a 100 people. Definitely should get a TL group channel going.
|
I just watched all of American History X with a bunch of /b/tards making n-word jokes followed by Gary, Spongebob's pet cat thing recite poetry which consisted of the repetition of the n-word that was from an actual black guy saying it. To top it all off, it was followed by horses mating.
I'm not sure whether to praise the OP for this find or to turn him to religion. My mind is full of fuck as to the way people use this site... LOL!
|
It sounds pretty awesome actually, I hope to try and watch some proscene VODs with a couple of friends.
|
Thanks for the bump. Missed this the first time around somehow
|
You should try elive.pro, it's the same thing but with voice chat also ^^

I love synchtube. Used to watch VODs with my roommate.
|
Hm... maybe someone can watch BW games with me and show me some true good gems that I can learn from with this site...
|
I remember trying this site a few months ago but there were a lot of bugs and I kept getting dropped when hosting a video with others at random times, also when they hosted. It's a great idea and I'd definitely use it more if they fixed some of the bugs.

Yeah I popped into one of the 4chan channels last night and there were a lot of people watching at once without any issues. The best part is they put you right in the middle of the video they're watching, at the exact spot everyone sees, instead of just the beginning of the video. They've really improved the syncing by leaps and bounds.
