UPDATED FOR CEF-BASED VIEWERS

This TV's primary feature is the ability to keep videos synced between different viewers. The way that webpage media on a prim works on SL means that every person watching the video has their own instance of the website running in a browser on the prim. What one person sees won't always match what someone else sees, especially if someone comes and starts watching partway through!

MD Sync TV solves this problem, and adds in some extra, useful features, such as a graphical, editable playlist, automatic advance to the next video in the playlist, resolution settings and a scrubber bar to seek to specific points in the video. It does all of this without using an external web service. It's completely contained in the scripts in the TV itself, meaning your purchase isn't tied to a server that could go down if I ended up broke.

It's a powerful system, but one without the bloat commonly seen in high-priced SL televisions. This TV was made to do one thing well, and do it more smoothly than anyone else.

Supported websites are: Youtube, Twitch.tv (saved videos, streams, and clips), Dailymotion, Picarto.tv and Livestream. More may be added in the future, but not all websites can be set up to work on this TV, due to limitations with their respective APIs.

This TV requires Shared Media, (Sometimes called prim media or media on a prim.) Ensure that your viewer and settings support it!
