This change was originally introduced and then deleted. Now is reintroduced after tests on both protocols. HostnameEndpoint is needed in some configurations to resolve IPv6-only hostnames, so it is required. The connection now works with both protocols on clients and servers. NOTE: now a wrong server/address/port DOES NOT trigger a Connection with Server Failed error immediately, the error stays in Deferred. This must be fixed before putting this code in production.

What does it do
Syncplay synchronises the position and play state of multiple media players so that the viewers can watch the same thing at the same time. This means that when one person pauses/unpauses playback or seeks (jumps position) within their media player then this will be replicated across all media players connected to the same server and in the same 'room' (viewing session). When a new person joins they will also be synchronised. Syncplay also includes text-based chat so you can discuss a video as you watch it (or you could use third-party Voice over IP software to talk over a video).
What it doesn't do
Syncplay is not a file sharing service.
