Show HN: Made a web app for grouping YouTube videos to play together and share (tangletube.com)

If you're trying to create some syncing effect by playing the videos simultaneously, then that's getting lost because of buffering.


Not really, I just skipped the first few seconds of the first video because it's just noise.

But more importantly, are you on a slow connection by any chance? I haven't had any buffering issues so I'm wondering if I'm the exception or the rule. I could specify that videos should play at their lowest quality if necessary, which should help, but I'd like to avoid that unless it's strictly necessary.


I'm on a pretty good connection (I think). I watch a lot of youtube videos and never have any serious buffering issues. Maybe it's just these particular videos.

Anyway, it's a fun idea. You should share it here - http://swym.me


The Network + post rock mashup was awesome.

Unfortunately, there was some stuttering, which kind of killed the effect.


Wow, that speech from Network is fantastic.


What is the difference between this and the playlist in YouTube itself?


Click "Play All" and it plays them all together at the same time.

Also, you can control each video's start time and volume. So for example, you could play a video of your cousin dancing but mute that and also play another video of bluegrass music as if that's what he's dancing too. A lame example, I know, but it gives you an idea of what I was going for.


Yo dawg, I heard you like hangouts ..

This could be interesting with some Google Hangouts people are doing, where they set up a Hangout, which gets recorded, to watch another live Hangout or live event elsewhere. And I'm sure there are Hangouts where people gather round to watch some YouTube video together too.


I recently discovered youtube playlists. I like it a lot but hate the ads. Does this solve that in some way as well?


The purpose of this site is to play the videos at the same time which is what the "play all" button is for. Do youtube playlists support this feature or was that just not immediately apparent?
