How To Fix syncplay: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian
In Ubuntu syncplay is provided by syncplay package.
syncplay is:
Allows you to watch movies with friends or family at different places synchronized via the internet.
When a viewer pauses/continues playback or seeks within their media player this will be replicated across all media players connected to the same server in the same viewing session. A chat function is included so viewers can discuss the movie while watching it. To improve the communication experience for viewers, the Syncplay developers and the syncplay-client package suggest to use additional VoIP (package mumble) or video phone (package jami) software.
Technically, it synchronizes the position and play states of multiple mpv, VLC, MPC-HC and MPC-BEmedia player instances so viewers’ players present the same movie at the same time.
In case your friends and family do not use Debian, Syncplay is available for other operating systems on the upstream website. To learn what Syncplay is read the description of package ‘syncplay’.
This package installs the graphical desktop client program that does the actual synchronization of your video player. Therefore it must connect to a Syncplay server.
To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.
sudo apt-get -y install syncplay
This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

sudo apt -y install syncplay

sudo aptitude install syncplay
