I've entered a random youtube url, "open movie" test click worked fine but when the counter hit, it went to netflix... (Safari)
Works now. Thanks for reporting.

Right now I see a lot of folks making light of Covid-19 by coming up with silly pun-based names for sites, groups, etc. and I totally understand why: Many of us (especially in tech, where layoffs have been less bad than other sectors) currently associate this event with staying indoors, being kinda bored, trying to find things to do to pass the time. People are intellectual aware that there’s a deadly virus out there…
There are plenty of Hitler jokes out there, and a ton of hurricane jokes for every hurricane that blows through the US. Cancer patients are sometimes sardonic about their condition. I really don't think a death toll of 100,000 is enough to stop people from using gallows humor to cope. In fact, the higher the death toll, the more gallows humor you are likely to see. Further evidence: Coronavirus jokes have not become…
Does this require everyone to have an account for the paid services (Netflix for now)? Does this require anyone to have an account for the paid services if you happen to be able to get your hands on a Netflix URL?
It works by basically redirecting to the streaming website.

Have you investigated what it'd take to addd Hulu support? I find majority of my shows are split between Netflix and Hulu.
Would anyone be willing to share their hulu account with me so I can test it? bingehulu@simon-frey.com
This is great, I've wanted something like this in the past! Thanks for building. I'll be giving it a try for a watch party I was planning with friends. Mind sharing how it works and what stack you used?
Stack is quite simple: Frontend: Bulma.css, Vanilla Javascript, HTML Backend: PHP, MariaDB
It works by redirecting in the right moment to the streaming sites, via a JavaScript redirect.
The voice chat is done via https://meet.jit.si/
To handle potential big load, I force cloudflare to cache all sites under url /p/* thereby after the creation of the watch party, no request hits my server anymore :D
My friends and I do this through Discord. One person shares their screen playing netflix/disney/whatever and then everyone just hangs out in voice and watches together. It's a really seamless experience and the re-encoding is usually not a problem, action scenes can get a little blocky but the quality is really pretty great.
