Research direction

Start by reproducing the synchronized-watch flow using the listed episode selector and “play now” steps in two windows or users. Trace the session synchronization handling for manual episode changes; done means the other window changes episodes in tandem whether playback is paused or playing.

Description

Bug
Issue description

When using the synchronized watch feature, manual episode changes are not synced to other users.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Login to Streama and open a new window
  2. In streama, start playing a show / TV series.
  3. Click the new session button in the control bar (second from the right)
  4. Copy the URL from streama and paste it into the new window
  5. Force an episode change, either by
    a. using the episode selector (third from the right)
    b. seeking towards the last 30 seconds of an episode and pressing the "play now" button

This can also be done using an incognito window and two seperate users.

Expected Behaviour

Episode on other window changes in tandem with window that initiated the change

Actual Behaviour

If playback is paused, it resumes on the other window, otherwise the other is unaffected.
