- Only apply when actually running under py2app, as opposed to whenever running on macOS. - Instead of setting PATH to a fully hardcoded value, just append /usr/local/bin if not already present. That way any non-default choices by the user are respected. - Unset PYTHONPATH instead of setting it based on /usr/bin/python's sys.path. mpv or other players could end up invoking any copy of Python, so there's no sensible value to set it to, but it's (normally) fine to leave it blank. The important thing is that we don't keep the value set by py2app, pointing to our own Contents/Resources directory. (It should be safe to change PYTHONPATH at this point without affecting Syncplay's own execution, since Python only checks it at startup.) - Unset other Python environment variables instead of just PYTHONPATH, because py2app sets a number of them (including PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE and PYTHONHOME). - Do the environment variable patchup when starting Syncplay, so it applies to all players rather than just mplayer-based ones. Fixes #276.

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.
