Notes:

• Those experiencing problems running Syncplay on Fedora should refer to the advice in #355.
• If you are using macOS via Apple Silicon / ARM then you will need to use Syncplay via Rosetta 2. See #368 for details.
• We have discontinued snap as a release channel (see #376). Please use the AppImage instead.
• We have discontinued support for the legacy release of macOS as the relevant versions of the OS have reached end of life (EOL).

Other relevant links:

• If Syncplay does not load on Windows then you probably need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package (Download the 32-bit version, i.e. ‘vc_redist.x86.exe’).
