If you are using Plex to host your media this feature is built right into plex. Watch together on Plex

Except Plex insanely makes you stream it to each person, instead of letting people download and sync streaming. So good luck doing it with more than two people unless you're watching a 1080p movie on a beast with an amazing Internet connection.

plex let's you choose the target bitrate. 1080p can be done at 8Mbps so a cable connection with 30Mbps up could do 3 with some spare room. like yeah if you are rural or just stuck with dsl.

but generally people with their own media library to share have okish net

Yeah but I don't want to watch at 1080p with bad sound! It's just annoying because they already let you download off your friends servers. You'd think it would be super easy to program as an option.
