Thank you for the feedback.

1) The static shows when the video is buffering, maybe it's a slow network problem?

2) The string is a bitcoin address :)

Yes everyone is watching the same content at the same time just like an actual TV channel.

The content is hand picked, no algorithms :)

There is no backend, just plain html, css and js. The source is public.

The videos are hand-picked and are scheduled so everyone is watching the same thing at the same time.

Thank you for the feedback, I'll see what I can do regarding the mono audio issue, and I'll try to add more features as soon as possible.

The channels are on a schedule, everyone is watching the same exact video at the same timestamp!
