Originally created by @xddman on GitHub (Jun 10, 2021).
So ive been having a syncplay issue for a while. Always on latest stable version, currently 10.7.5.
Basically if you have two libraries that contain folders like
Library 1: /home/folder1/
Library 2: /home/folder1/folder2/
If user 1 and user 2 have access to Library 2 but not Library 1, syncplay won't work, if you open library 2 and create a syncplay group, you wont be able to play anything. Clicking play just doesnt work. Leaving the group allows you to play everything from Library 2. Same with user 1 joining user 2's group. If you play a video from library 2 and create a syncplay group, user 2 wont even see the group. My assumption is that permissions are overlapping.
If user 1 only has access to Library 2 but user 2 has access to both Library 1 and Library 2, when user 1 plays a video and makes a syncplay group, user 2 will be able to join and watch synced.
But if user 2 plays a video from Library 2 and makes a group, user 1 wont see the group at all.
Edit:
Just to add a bit more.
If i make a third library that doesnt share a folder with any other library, users can syncplay normally like intended, no issues, the issue occurs only if two libraries contain same folders/files

I believe that library structure isn't supported and causes issues in more areas then syncplay, but I could be wrong.
@OancaAndrei commented on GitHub (Sep 11, 2021):
Hi @xddman, the idea is to allow only content that can be seen by everyone. That is, access is not transferable but restrictive. If a user can only see a certain number of items then all other users in the group will be "restricted" to this limited set, as long as the user with less available content remains in the group.
@crobibero, SyncPlay uses
libraryManager.GetItemById(itemId).IsVisibleStandalone(user)underneath so I think there might be this assumption that (I'm using the previous example) if Library 1 is not accessible, then all inner libraries are not accessible as well. I guess this assumption needs to be re-checked.
