Syncplay

About

Syncplay is an android app that allows friends to watch videos or movies together in real-time. With Syncplay, everyone can synchronize the video playback without worrying about connecting over a video call and one person having to stream the entire movie. This improves the overall viewing experience for everyone.

Disclaimer

Note that this app was created under time constraints as I was preparing for my college exams. As a result, there may be some bugs or areas for improvement. However, I have made an effort to maintain a clean and organized codebase using the MVVM architecture pattern. I appreciate any contributions or feedback to help improve this project.

Features

• Create a room and invite friends to join
• Synchronized video playback with friends in real-time
• Pure Kotlin in the frontend with a Ktor backend
• Uses websockets to connect clients
• MVVM architecture (I made this app in a hurry, so the code is not very clean)

Getting started

1. Download the app from the Google Play Store
2. Create a room and invite your friends
3. Choose a video or movie to watch together
4. Press the play button and enjoy the synchronized playback
