#3One of the projects I have on my list which I'll never get around to is distributed group karaoke using webcams. Seems like you should be able to sync both the karaoke video out and the return feed such that you could have a group sing-a-long experience over the web.

#4Why did you write it? What are the use cases for synchronising videos like this?
A sentence or two in your README to answer these would be handy.

#5I've been looking for something like this, well sorta.
Many 'family' cars now come with the option of headrest ipad mounts for rear seat entertainment. This is great, but what about when my kids want to watch the same movie? Showing the same movie at the same exact time on two different ipads would be solve a tremendous pain point for me, and possible lots of other parents!

True.
If you're interested, here's an app that uses similar tech for long distance movie watching: https://letsgaze.com/

#7Does it also work for the "Live" streams on Youtube? That's the use-case in which I could use the most this kind of synch.

When I'm away from my girlfriend we chat through live audio and sometimes we want to watch movies together. So if the videos syncs we can talk and make comments as if we were together :)

Well unfortunately it only works on desktop Chrome and Firefox and if we do have something on iPad that would be sweeter :)

#10Does this necessarily have to be a browser extension or is there any hope of using the video provider APIs to accomplish the same thing?
