About

|
-----

Sync is a server/client combination I wrote to synchronize media playback
|
|
|
|
|
among clients. It's inspired by Synchtube, but I wanted to make the
|
|
|
|
|
interface simpler, add a searchable library for each channel, and it's just
|
|
|
|
|
a fun challenge.
|
|

|
|
|
The serverside is written in JavaScript and runs on Node.JS. It makes use
|
|
|
|
|
of a MySQL database to store user registrations, cached media metadata, and
|
|
|
|
|
data about each channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The clientside is written in JavaScript and makes use of Socket.IO and
|
|
|
|
|
jQuery. The web interface uses Bootstrap for layout and styling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sync currently supports YouTube, Soundcloud, Vimeo, and TwitchTV.
