SyncPlay

Hey,

I have a very large group of friends and family that have finally made the move to Jellyfin and abandoned Plex.

Everything has been great so far, and any gaps in client support has been filled by the mobile apps Cast and AirPlay functionality. Great job Jellyfin team!

A major pain point for us has been SyncPlay. I've seen users post on reddit that they do not have issues with it, but our experience with SyncPlay has been a nightmare.

Currently, even clicking the SyncPlay icon in the browser tries to throw us into the last movie we watched and Jellystat reports that it's started playing over 70 times...

I checked GitHub and it looks like there are a host of SyncPlay bugs that need addressed: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/iss...n+syncplay

This issue seems to be closely related to what we are experiencing, except we can't fix it at all and now SyncPlay is bugged completely: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/8140

This issue is another major concern of ours, since we use Cast / AirPlay to bridge the gap for client support and SyncPlay is extremely important to us: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5525

Everything else is running flawlessly from what I can see. SyncPlay just seems extremely bugged.

Will this be addressed soon or is SyncPlay abandoned? This is a very important feature for us.

Thank you!
