Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm looking to understand how to build a web app that allows multiple users to view the same YouTube video in sync on their computers. For example, synchtube.com or watch2gether.com I'm seeking a simple approach that can be implemented using common technologies such as PHP , jQuery and Apache . I'm currently thinking along the lines of polling (or comet long polling but that requires more complex server setup which I hope to avoid), similar to how Ajax chat apps are implemented - that is clients continuously check with the server to see which video is playing. However, I suspect there will be latency issues here so videos will not be completely in sync. I can't think of a better approach yet. To fellow developer community, any help on the methodology or code snippets are hugely appreciated!
