stevo2112 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hi all, I'm new here but have been a member of RLC for a while now. Over the past few weeks i've been having issues with the site being slow and error messages on the video player. Has anyone else experienced this? Cheers Stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssxxssxx Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi, absolutely no problem here lately. I had some a few month ago but everything is back to normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterGrey Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Anyone else got slow streaming today? On most active cams I get sound but video is black although I can see the white id-number in left bottom corner. And if I get stream, it's cutting. Cams with low traffic are ok. So I guess it's on rlc side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubbguy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I'm finding that a lot of the replay videos from the last 24 hours have a lot of skips and jumps in them. The one currently up of Nelly and Bogdan is practically unwatchable....and it looked super HOT~! PeterGrey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloner Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 RLC has definitely been running slower than usual on popular cameras. Tonight, Sat 15th September 10.30 pm UK time I have waited 7 minutes so far for the most popular cam at the moment GP3.2 to appear. I have the black screen with 3 dots instead. Unwatchable.

iloner Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 13 minutes so far and still no screen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloner Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Tech department recommends a speed of 5 Mbts or better for comfortable viewing. Where I live I don't have that. I did make the point that even when my connection speeds are slow other sites and most of the cameras still behave acceptably. If it was my speed that causes the extra slowness would not the display on my system of all of the cameras be affected equally? It is the most popular cameras that become impossible to watch. This suggests to me that it is the feed from the most popular cameras at the most popular times that is slow. Tech response suggests one of: I don't understand either the problem or their suggestion properly at times the feed from the most popular cams is slowed by lack of bandwidth but they have not got a solution at the moment they don't give a rat's arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that Allotment is Exceeded then the Apartment Feed becomes a Buffering Issue for everyone trying to view it. RLC is not the only site with buffering issues. Most of the other Voyeur Sites have the same issues. Edited September 21, 2018 by StnCld316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us in Mbits poverty regular interruption on the most viewable occasions is a turn-off. RLC have been great at giving us more cameras, 1020p etc. but maybe there was a trade-off.

The higher the Pixels the more Bandwidth is consumed. 720p or 1080p most users can't actually tell a difference between the Two on a Standard Computer Monitor. I believe RLC uses 1080p but if they took it back to 720p it would make a big difference on the Bandwidth with less buffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the only apartment that seems to be struggling regularly is B4, especially between 20:00 and 22:00 local time. But it is the apartment with the most (37) cameras. 12 hours ago, StnCld316 said: The higher the Pixels the more Bandwidth is consumed. 720p or 1080p most users can't actually tell a difference between the Two on a Standard Computer Monitor. I believe RLC uses 1080p but if they took it back to 720p it would make a big difference on the Bandwidth with less buffering. Yes, RLC upgraded most of it's cameras to 1080p in 2017. Some 720p cameras still remain, mostly hallway and balcony cams (Eva, Adeline) and Desiree's bathroom. The bandwidth is not only affected by the picture quality, but also by what's happening in front of the camera. In normal daylight, full color on a 1080p camera, the stream I receive is on average somewhere between 70 and 80 KB/s in an empty room. With a lot of motion close to the camera (mostly notable on the camera at B2 and B4 at the foot of the beds in the big bedrooms) I get incoming streams of well over 1MB/s, with peaks up to 2MB/s. Imagine what that does to the upstream from B4, when seven girls start walking around in front of the cameras in multiple rooms, with multiple cameras each.

Pleasant Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Is anyone else having problems in the last couple of days? The picture is taking a lot longer to load, and the thumbnails are often blank, with just the name of the apartment. Don't normally have this problem. bigmac18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasant Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 So it's not just me then. Thanks. I think i did read in the chatbox someone mention this yesterday, which made me look closer and realized it wasn't a one off incident. It's happened several times in the last 48 hours.

Wazzer Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Every now and then it happens for some reason or another, something else they need to resolve to make the site better. Pleasant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
