Thanks for the updates Ace.
This afternoon and evening illustrate perfectly why something needs to be done about the locking up. I'm really enjoying Hannah Martin and Paige Green's 2-4-1, but it is SO frustrating trying to get good caps because the stream is constantly playing up. I got them in some great poses, but have had to ditch so many because they were just unusable. Even the ones that I have kept, I'm not 100% happy with them.
Let us hope that these improved channels of communication continue and that we soon get a webstream which does justice to the girls and the shows.
Well, to be honest, this locking up is being a bit of pain for them as well. Because it's virtually impossible for them to pin it down to just one thing.
I'm actually starting think it may have something to do with the sound overloading the system. Because it's using too much of the bandwidth, and it's db setting is way too high.
I may mention it, next time. If nothing else, it eliminates another thing off the list. It just seems ironic that the time they increased the bandwidth for Danica's show, a few months back, is the one time when I said the stream was perfect.
I think the problems have a lot to do with the sets and backgrounds. It was much easier getting caps of Hannah this evening when she was on her own and the camera was doing close ups of her on the red sofa. Then when she stood up, the screen went all fuzzy again.

At there current bandwidth, I'd have to agree on certain sets. That's why I think the Victorian bath set was locking up, because the detail of all the bubbles was eating up the bytes.
But to be honest, they could have as many complicated sets as they wished, if they would only increase the bandwidth allowance to compensate.
It's not as if it can't be done, after-all you can stream HD Broadcasts, if your willing to use the right bandwidth.
But having said all that, it's all down to the age old term, "Financially Viable" again.
OK I can see it not being so at present, with there current members. But in the long term, I think once the word got around, that you were the only babe channel broadcasting a HD stream in the members section. I think the subscriptions would start to poor in.
But that just my opinion.
Update from Alan in regards problem reporting.
Hi
I've just added a form to the site for people to report problems when they occur. It also gathers some extra information which may help to debug.
You can find it on the contact page. When submitted, one copy goes straight to the stream provider and one comes to me.
I've not put it next to the stream as I'd like to limit its use to people who are having a real problem and not just someone who gets bored and distracted by a link waiting to be clicked.
So please, if you are having a genuine problem with the Elite stream, then by all means use this new feature. But please don't abuse it for any minor glitches. It has been set-up for our benefit.
All the best
Ace.
Well, I just had to submit my first report, using there new system, outlined above.
I don't know if any of you are having the stream locking up on you as well tonight. But it seems awfully bad for me at present. Certainly 965 in particular.
Only trouble is, that I know Alan is away, doing other work this week. So let us hope that D2See get the report, and fix it.
the 965 stream is locking up for me from this morning.
Evening people.
Im still having trouble even watching the stream. Theres no video box or anything, just writing that says - NO ACCESS ALLOWED 100. Any solutions to this?
I am having problems with the stream. I first noticed it last night while trying to record Danica. The streams are delayed by over 45 mins for me. They sync up after refeshing(after a timeout), then it gets delayed again and I miss a whole section. Anyone else having the same issues? Some of the cappers are having no issues, but I know of 2 members who have the same problem. I have tried different sites and different web browsers with no luck. Updated flash player made no difference. Weird?
yeah as you know josh i had the same issue yesterday mine was between 30-45 mins behind it was weird.
