Username

Set the username that will appear to others in the room when you connect to the Syncplay server.

Default Username

The username defaults to the one configured on your operating system. You can override it by specifying a custom username.

Room

Set the Syncplay room where you and others can join for synchronized playback.

Argument: --room (short: -sR)

Default: The default room is dynamically generated based on the title of the media being played. If a password is provided, it is appended to the room name. The resulting string is hashed using SHA-256 to create a unique room identifier.

Example Default Room: AniWorld_Downloader.<hashed_room_name>

Default Room

If no room is specified, Syncplay will connect you to the default room. You can specify a custom room name to create or join a specific room.

Example: --room AnimeNight

Password

Set a password for your Syncplay room to restrict access and ensure privacy during your sessions. This ensures that only trusted participants can join, so nobody will interrupt your session with friends.

Argument: --password (short: -sP)

Default: No password is set by default.

Example: --password Ballsack
