1) The firewall on your computer, router or corporate network doesn't allow outbound UDP traffic. You can go to this site to get an analysis by adobe of your connectability: http://cc.rtmfp.net/ (post a screenshot if you can't make sense of the analysis yourself)

Knows public IP address of self (no NAT): NO
Public UDP port number same as local UDP port number: YES
Can receive from same IP address, same UDP port number: YES
Can receive from same IP address, different UDP port number: NO
Can receive from different IP address, different UDP port number: NO
Can send to different IP address after server introduction: YES
Source IP address is preserved from original connection: YES
Source UDP port number is preserved from original connection: YES

Everything looks good to me, except for the fact that I'm behind a NAT. Please tell me that doesn't mean I don't get to see boobies.
EDIT: Never mind, it's working now. Rendez Vous server must have gone down temporarily. Also, some way to adjust the quality would be preferable. Right now it's more than what my connection can handle, and decompression errors are a real turn-off.

Also, in the login screen it used to trow a popup telling the user it failed top connect. I changed that to not do this this but instead attempt to reconnect on every failed attempt (so basically indefinitely) without giving user feedback. What do you think of this choice? Would you prefer to be notified of this and if so how?

To be honest, I think it's a stupid choice. It should only attempt to reconnect N number of times before giving up and displaying an error message. Sure, dropped packets might cause it to fail to connect one or two times, but if it keeps failing to connect several times in a row, that's a pretty clear sign that something is seriously wrong and it's never going to connect.

It's definitely not the blocking of UDP messages or something. Your cc.rtmfp.net page is exactly the same as mine, so that definitely isn't blocking you from seeing boobies

I PM'ed you about what you can do try to help debug this.

I'll change the code to stop trying after 3 reconnects (it times out in 30 seconds,so that would be 1.5 minutes) and report it to the user in the form of an alert box. Thanks for the feedback.

Cam4BTC has moved to a new host as riush (member here at Bitcointalk) has generously offered to host both the website and the other server software I need for free until further notice. This should bring stability and allows me to keep the software up-to-date.

I have updated the DNS but this can take up to 48 hours to propagate (it is usually much faster though). Press control+F5 and if you see you are running v0.8 you know you have made the switch.

Version 0.9 is out. I added a scheduling mechanism: Broadcasters can schedule shows and both broadcasters and viewers alike can view the schedule. This way people will know when someone will be on in advance and can check back.

I hope this will help with broadcasters and viewers finding each other

[wachtwoord]

v0.9.1

* Improved audio quality
* Added option music for broadcasters of music. This will increase the audio quality for music

Also, if a broadcaster stops and restarts stream, audio will resume quickly while the video just freezes for a while. After a while (like 30 seconds) it does go o, if you want this to be quicker just go to and leave full screen mode and it will continue immediately. I have not been able to mimic this programmatically yet so I'm working on that

Yesterday night we had a record of 29 people online at the same time and 2 broadcasts at the same time. I want to thank dino_rawr and ENTerTheDragonfly for performing the broadcasts.
Also thanks to everyone that came to watch.
I wasn't there myself due to it being in the middle of the night in my timezone but I got reports of people that really enjoyed it

Note that at 9:00 am hours PST there is a scheduledShow by DarlingLA. Log in to the site to see what time it is in your timezone!

* I had a small bug which showed all hours as <12 hours even if it was in the afternoon, thus making it impossible for people to determine whether it was in the morning or afternoon. Fixed in v0.9.2

This is awesome. Keep up the good work.

[Tuxavant]

I was there... rockin job! the girls were very excited to be using the service and judging by the comments, so were the other guys.

[Gabi]

Awwhhh too bad i missed that! 

[wachtwoord]

Thanks for the kind words guys. Really appreciated

@Gabi: there are 2 more scheduled shows at the moment. Don't miss'em

v 0.10 is out with donation address verification. If you enter an address <34 characters I will attempt to resolve the firstbits using BlockChain.info, if you enter a 34 character complete address I will verify it is a correct address. No more making typo's [disabling donation addresses altogether is also supported]

This is also preliminary work to being able to show donations being made live in chat. I needed to be sure I was working with valid Bitcoin addresses before I could work on that.

[Tuxavant]

can you make the bitcoin link display a QR code somehow? sometimes I need to tip with my phone.

[Gabi]

It's not easy to understand what this means:



The DarlingLA show is the 14 may at 19:00 hours?  But 19:00 what? Or it is 19 hours from now?

It did take me a couple seconds to figure it out, but its days:hours until the show begins.

I suggest an ISO date like "2012-05-14 2100" but a count-down timer is convenient too.

[wachtwoord]

Nah it's military time in the timezone your computer is set to. So 19:00 hours on the 14th, which is 7 pm (in your timezone). Looks like you are in my timezone Gabi

regarding the QR code I'll look into it. Hopefully it can be done with a lightweight library. I have never used QR codes because I don't own a smartphone so I'll have to figure out what is actually encoded in there first

Finally I just added a notification sound in v0.10.1 for every channel join as per request of one of the performers.

Announcing: Live show at the moment.

some young lass from london is showing her 'bits' as I type this

YES! Count-down timer is the solution.
