Whenever I watch videos with someone, I'm the only one who can pause, play and scrub through the video even if I make him "op". it would be useful if an "op" could do that stuff as well.
I think you should add ability to grand someone acces to pause/resume video and managing playlist. Just like OP but with more privileges. It could be usefull.
I tried adding a URL to an mp4 file with a query parameter and it wasn't added, however removing the query parameter allowed it to be added (but it didn't work without the parameters)
Would be cool if you can add like a slider for speed control (0,25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, etc)
Because if you control the speed manually it won't work :/
My suggestion is a button similar to the "Play Next" feature in iTunes, where there's a second button beside the + button that only the Owner of the room can use that adds the video directly to the next position in the playlist regardless of any other videos that are already queued. This way if you have a long playlist and want to play a video inbetween the current video and the next you can just add it this way instead of having to add it, scroll to the bottom of the playlist and start it manually, and then go back to where you were and start the next video manually.
I want to play back files hosted by google video and i think blogpost also. The files themselves are MP4, and the MIME type announces this, but when i try to play it on sync-video, it won't play back because the extension isn't .mp4 or .flv. It would be neat if the server could grab the file headers and determine from there the MIME type. I don't think it's more costly for the server to do it this way.
An example is https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/1c-xcTxfallAHl93TZWuuaduUc5ADUMIutuoEGFH1Rem=m18
There's a chance that the URL redirects to another one, but I don't think it would be costly to server-side follow the redirect down a single level and check the MIME there.

It would be cool for the OP to be able to talk to everyone in the room, kind of like a radio station.
You could talk for a short while in between songs and allow other people in the room to "call into the show" and mess around.
Why did you change the layout of the video player? Like having it play automatically when it switches and not being able to stream 1080 when it's available?
Hi. I'm new to all this and DEFINITELY NOT tech savvy. I'm having the hardest time figuring how to get things done here. Managed to upload my 1St video and now can'take find my way back to the room I created!
I wanted to look into a service to replace online radio and it be online visual radio, I googled and your site came up and I thought it was a great implementation. I have played around with it a lot now and there is one feature I think would be good...
When I am not around to attend the video, it cuts me off and makes someone else the person that is able to delete items in the playlist. Is there a way to get it to be owned by one person always? So that if I leave it at night before I go to bed for example, it doesnt let a random person come in and take over. This is a feature I would even pay for!
Great work guys really. It is a service that could be the future of live TV too!
One of the reasons I paid for RoyalBlue was so that I could have a permanent room for friends to watch through playlists with me. Unfortunately, if the playlist is rather extensive, we seem to encounter an 'afk timer' which clears the playlist/room without telling us, forcing us to refresh the page completely, re-enter the playlist and begin where we lost it. While this seems a minor inconvenience, having to do this multiple times daily for extensive playlists makes this an unappealing prospect.
My guess is this happens because we are not interacting with the playlist at all since it is automatically playing through the one we created until it automatically detects we are not active. This is not the case, we simply do not *need* to interact with the site as it's autoplay function guarantees continuous play.
What I would suggest is that you develop some way to determine if users are truly AFK that does not involve direct interaction with the interface. It seems a flimsy and unreliable system at current, and an annoyance to have to deal with a system incorrectly guessing we are not there.
As a suggestion, I would at least request some sort of pop-up warning, letting us know when the system *thinks* we're AFK, and giving us a 5-minute period to confirm we are still consciously active, and not to reset the channel. Setting this popup to appear once every half an hour of inactivity would at least give us the chance to confirm we're still watching, and avoid any inconvenience.

Lyrics from Music Videos suggestion
I'd love to read the lyrics of the songs I'm listening.
You already have the name (ex. Radiohead - Karma Police), so I created a script that creates the urls for a website:
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/radiohead/karmapolice.html
Here's the script:
function createLink () {
var name = document.getElementById('current-video-name').innerHTML.replace(/([\s]|\(.*\))/g, '').toLowerCase().split('-');
var url = 'http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/' + name[0] + '/'+ name[1] + '.html';
return url;
};
I hope you like it.
