Does 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.

#12Does this necessarily have to be a browser extension or is there any hope of using the video provider APIs to accomplish the same thing?

Of course it will be much easier to use if video sites like YouTube provide this feature. But I don't thinks its that widely needed for them to put it on the feature list.

#14There is a screenshot[1] of the current state, but it's a bit ugly since I had to stop working on it because of my exams. The idea is to replace the VLC+Skype combo for watching movies together with automatically syncing the play/pause.
But there is another problem I haven't decided yet, and it's the communication channel for chat and syncing. I'm torn between creating a server on an own VPS or adding an IRC client to the app (since you can always find a free irc server and create a room).
