Incredible Product, really made me and my friends enjoy watching movies together remotely, without the annoying "at which second are you at?!"

@leon_witt Haha glad you like it, that was literally the frustrating sentence that kicked off this entire project! Thanks for the feedback :)

I originally built Jelly-Party about a month ago to synchronously watch videos with friends on my Jellyfin server and since extended the application to work on most websites. Jelly-Party runs using vuejs & nodejs. Some other great extensions have popped up in the meantime, but I still think it's worth sharing Jelly-Party — it uses a nodejs powered websocket server in the backend that is located in Frankfurt, Germany and should provide seamless connection and low latency. I've made the entire source code public on Github, including the server code, so please feel free to check it out (https://github.com/seandlg). I'll also gladly check out any pull requests or suggestions for improvement. For any feedback, I'll be monitoring ProductHunt, Github and our Discord-channel (which you'll find a link to on our website). Please note that I'm a recently self-taught developer and just started with vuejs a month ago. The extension works fine, but if you have any suggestions for improvement code-wise & tech-wise I'd appreciate any learning opportunity. I'm excited to see what you guys think! Best, Sean

Used this on a few different platforms already and worked like a charm. Much better than Netflix Party. Sean is also very quick to work on it, and previous points for improvement were met warmly.

My friends and I love Jelly Party, and it's really been bringing us virtually together during the pandemic. This past time we tried it (on a Hulu video), we were unable to type anything into the chat. Would love some guidance on how to fix that, so we can get back to some good, old fashioned movie commentary. Thanks!

@ryan_dobrin Hey Ryan. Sorry for the late reply and thanks for your feedback! I'm glad to hear you're using & enjoying Jelly-Party! I haven't tested it on Hulu, but plan to start working on a UI/UX rebranding next week, that will come with many stability updates. I'll definitely add your hulu-chat-issue to the list. Best, Sean

This is great, I see Jellyfin support. Does it work with Plex too?

@jonathanlaniado I have not tested it, since I personally use Jellyfin. Let me know how it goes, if there's a problem I can have a look at it (or if you can share access to a temporary account, I can look into it myself)! As a note for Jellyfin users: Since the current web-version of Jellyfin doesn't provide a unique link for it's videos (it always ends in /index.html#!/videoosd.html), you'll have to join a party by Id rather than use the magic link. Then everything should work though :)

Nice idea. Does it allow voice chat? Would be great if I can talk to others while watching movies.

@hp68569656 Hey thanks for the suggestion! Jelly-Party does not include voice or video chat at the moment. I've been thinking about this feature and am still unsure whether a chrome extension would allow for the stability required for this feature — essentially this would call for P2P connections, which are somewhat wonky at times (networking gets more complicated & bandwidth usage can get quite high in a mesh network). I will keep this in mind though, the core functionality could continue running via websockets and then maybe voice chat could run on a separate P2P channel. Is this something more people would be interested in?
