Add-on summary

There is always a delay when streaming audio from your device to a receiver (Apple TV, AirPlay speakers, Sonos, Network Player, TuneBlade, Bluetooth, etc.). This is not a big issue when streaming music but any video will become out of sync. This addon attempts to solve this issue for YouTube.

One time set up:

  • Play a YouTube video
  • Go to the addon's Options
  • Adjust the latency slider until the audio becomes in sync with the video
  • You can disable the sync adjustment by clicking on the addon icon.

YouTube Audio/Video Sync works by muting the original video and reloading the audio adjusted to the selected delay.

Note: -YouTube Live Videos are not supported. -This extension (at least for now) will only work on youtube.com, embedded YouTube players on other websites will not work.

This is an open source project, licensed under GPLv3 https://github.com/adrian-ilie/av-sync

User reviews

Doesn't work anymore (audio delay is not being changed); development has been abandoned.

This addon is very schizophrenic, sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. If it could be fixed, this addon would be a godsend.

It works . . . after a fashion. Skipping ahead or back using the cursor keys mutes audio and also severely disrupts the audio sync, so I only was able to use it for a few minutes before uninstalling, as I tend to jog back and forth a lot.
