Cam Issue - Stopped Broadcasting thing

Cam Issue - Stopped Broadcasting thing

UPDATE 4/15: FIXED! So it was a problem with lowercase "s". You guys were right. Actually everyone should thank muffsuckers_22 for figuring out the that all the username began with an "S" and sjfantasy01 for making the astute observation that all the usernames were a lowercase "s".

I won't get all technical because honestly I don't really understand it, but we were stripping out the "s" in the stream ID. Basically it barfed when the "s" was gone from your streaming feed.

OK, now try it out - let me know if it's working for you now.

I know there are more webcam issues. There's a super brilliant, kooky and anti-social guy over here who has been tasked with fixing all webcam bugs. I really trust it's going to get better.


So I just want to acknowledge that this issue is happening. There are many people trying to isolate the cause.

Here's the issue:


I'm hearing members say that they can view cams, but when people try and view their cam it continues to say "stopped broadcasting." It’s the same story from any computer they log in with. They can use another account and it works fine.

Ok, so I've been getting a list together of members with the issue (thanks muffsuckers_22). The really strange thing is that all the names so far start with the letter "S". It may be nothing, but if you are having this issue please let me know.

I'll update you when I hear anything. So sorry it's not working. I'm pissed too.

Well if you are talking about cams working, oops I mean NOT working, what the hell is up with the fact, that if a persons cam count is over 400, you 99.09% sure of not getting on view it.

If it is server power, invest in the new servers, or get the hell out of the business, since the original owner has sold the site, it has gone down hill very fucking fast.

As a fully paid up member, I want compensation for my loss of entertainment and enjoyment.

Whats up! I have been complaining on the site bug's blog and calling customer service about the live cam streaming quality for almost four months now. It has been getting a little bit better but it's still not moving in real time like it used to. I have the newest flash player and i have deleted my cookies and cashe. Trust me, i have been a member for a long time and i have done everything i can on my end. It also seems like the cams work a lot better at night(around 10 o'clock p.m. eastern standard time). Do you up your server, or something, at that time? Also, i would really like to view the member recorded videos in full screen. If you go to the persons profile, you can view their first video in full screen but then the rest wont work like that. Thank you, and please SHAKE THING UP OVER THERE! I love the idea of AdultFriendFinder. I wish it ruled the internet, and it might one day, if it ever works right.

My cam (samuelcooke) has this problem too, also:

smithy198703
sphunky

Well spotted about the "s"!

For the record, my cam and smithy198703 both worked until the weekend of 4/5 April, so I'm working on the assumption that someone made a sysetm change around that weekend. You can tell I'm an IT guy can't you?!

Please fix it soon, we S's are feeling discrimanated against!

Cheers
Sam

CAMS

this has been going on for more than 4 wks now
please add us to list:

shyneedmoresex

we put this on are frends page:

Bulletin: well its been over 35 days since we have been able to cam with you all for some reason they wont let us cam
this is not only happing to us but to others to

(Bug #59402 or bug#46073) and how does that help us cam again

SiteSupport replies:

To clarify, both issues are similar in nature in that both display the same message, "Member is no longer broadcasting" depending on if you are the broadcaster or the viewer. Regardless of which does not apply to if you are a standard or premium member. We are expecting an update in a few days as we have submitted inquires to the development team and are awaiting response regarding status of the escalation. We do appreciate your patience regarding this matter.

if all our friends out there were to yell at AdultFriendFinder to fix the bugs (Bug #59402 or bug#46073) maybe we can cam with you soon please post this ever where you can your blog on your bulletin on your friend network
maybe they will do some thing about it

I get my moving video image in the appropriate box, with public broadcasting indicated, but whenever someone tries to view my video they get a message stating that I have stopped broadcasting.
My username starts with an S......
I don't think AdultFriendFinder gives a shit, they already have my money. But if I ever renew will depend on how they handle this issue. So far I would give them a D-.......

Now if we could just get the Private Broadcast. thing fixed. We seem to get that, camming and watching, mostly when the member is at the top of the list of cams that are broadcasting. If you go over a certain number of viewers, no one else can bring the cam up. It just says Private Broadcast.

The issue of watching someone elses cam is soooo true!!! member not broadcasting?? yea right! BS!! As for having people try to watch our cam shows. We couldnt really tell ya that . Well we are to busy having fun ourselves. Reguardless this site does have many , many issues with camming, IM's among other things, uploading new vids, oh they are just to big,WTFever!! What do we pay this money for?

Cams crashing is still a problem. My friend SWEETandPETITE has been having the problem all weekend and as recently as 30 minutes ago (10:10 pm CDT 4/20/09). I have confirmed with her that she is not shutting off the cam. I hope you can get this fixed as it is very frustrating for all of us.

Help I keep asking customer services why I can't view live webcams and have had no reply so far. Is there a techie out there who can tell me why. I keep getting a message 'cannot connect'. I have pissed around with my flash player settings to no avail

5/31/15 - These "Stopped Broadcasting" and "Cam is not available" issues are still happening and it has nothing to do with a specific letter in the profile name.
I random;y cannot connect to member cams (even friends cams) when they are definitely broadcasting - and broadcasting to others. Their # of viewers keeps changing and i have even instant messaged friends to verify they are on cam but the site will not let me connect.
PLEASE CORRECT THIS ISSUE. For the cost we are paying for the GOld Membership this should not be occurring after well over a month now. Thank you!

I can view cams (not sure about the 's') names but my camera won't activate. When I try to broadcast I get the regular screen saying "Initiating Broadcast" and the little Adobe Flash Player screen that says the site is requesting access to your camera..etc. But the screen remains and camera doesn't turn on. When trying to view it though it's a black screen. It does work outside of A/F/F though. Sounds like an issue here.

hey... now a days i am unable to view others cam. can you have a look into the issue. though many users are facing the similar issue. AdultFriendFinder should take it as a high priority action item.
