I set up Syncplay on my private server using this tutorial. but on the client, it doesn't fully connect to the server.

[06:54:14] Attempting to connect to [REDACTED]:23875 
[06:54:14] Attempting secure connection 
[06:54:14] Successfully reached [REDACTED] ([REDACTED])
[06:54:14] This server does not support TLS

tested it on different computers and the results were the same

as suggested in #256 I changed the port but it didn't help

I tried looking up a more detailed tutorial on how to set up a private server but there wasn't much - #445

debug

it works fine on official servers and behaved as expected

Hello ,

The Syncplay latest is available from http://syncplay.pl/

it would be perfect if you could provide a detailed and accurate tutorial for setting up private servers

@YounesArj In the first test, does the client connect to the server even without TLS support?

On the very first try, I got the TLS error above so I looked into it and found this, and implemented it after doing TLS stuff, it shows the error randomly, sometimes it gives the error sometimes not

@YounesArj One thing I'd recommend starting with is just installing the syncplay package - it's available on Ubuntu and you don't need to go out of your way to download anything from git: sudo apt install syncplay

With regards to TLS - for private server I'd say you shouldn't bother with it unless you know what you are doing. Server will work without it, you will simply see the message in the client about it.

I'm trying to set up syncplayServer on my VPS, not the client, so others can connect to it and... I installed Syncplay using your method but it seems it's only the client for watching videos I couldn't find any option to host it for others to join

@YounesArj the command to run the server is syncplay-server, though looking at it - that command is in the recommended dependencies of main Syncplay package. So it might not have gotten installed by default.

syncplay-server was installed automatically 

syncplay-common/jammy,now 1.6.9+repack1-4 all [installed,automatic]
syncplay-server/jammy,now 1.6.9+repack1-4 all [installed,automatic]
syncplay/jammy,now 1.6.9+repack1-4 all [installed]

but still no different result than the previous method

Did you ever figure out how to get it to work?

The only things I can think of is to try mpv rather than VLC and to check your firewall settings. The other guidance we have is available from https://syncplay.pl/guide/server/
