Hmm.. am not sure Opera is fully supported, even though it's a lot like Firefox these days You might want to keep IE11 and/or Firefox handy just in case, to make sure.

Heya Wolfy, be great to see you online!
You'll be typing - Gretchen will not be able to hear or see you. But, you'll be able to see and hear her.
Behaviour like that on the boards is encouraged: mutual respect, and some dirty talk.
We recommend using Chrome or Firefox browsers - others may work, but no guarantees. Upgrade to the latest browser version. Have Flash working (the streaming videos on our site are Flash, so if they work, you'll be safe).
Be logged in to the website - go to the playdates page now - if you see a schedule, you'll be able to see Gretchen when she's online.

Sorry I haven't been on for a while. I want to say thanks to Brent in customer support for sorting out my access. I really enjoyed Yara's sexy show and was great to chat live to her. Thanks to Garion too for his timely replies, even when you're having tech issues it always makes you feel better as a customer if you know people are looking into it and someone comes on to tell you what is happening behind the scenes. I think my access may have gone a bit wonky again and will check on this.
Gretchen should be awesome. For people asking what it is like, I did find it quite strange how we were chatting away with Yara about life and sex and other good things and then it did get really sexy very quickly in the next part of the show. However if I want to come on and have a detailed chat with her, I would leave that for the forums. She was very arousing and some naughty talk did ensue from viewers, so I don't think every model would suit this. However I found it perfectly possible to let Yara know how desireable and sexy she was being in a naughty way keeping it respectable and not derogatory. I think she knows already that she is appreciated by so many people for her individuality and real naturalness both of her beauty and personality. This was just like seeing yet another side to her and to be honest it isn't as if she hasn't already done some really sexy stuff on camera here. The difference is people let the model know in a slightly more direct way than they would on the forums.
I wish Gretchen a fun, sexy and enjoyable show, she is just fantastic and a much loved face here.

Cam does not equal cam... lets make things different, lets make them better!
Originally posted by Dekoda View Postwell, it seems to cheapen the site for some reason. I don't know why I feel that way, but it comes across to me as one of those sites that advertise, "See our girls, live, do naughty things!" To me, this isn't what AW is about.....AW is about the models and the excellent photography that the photographers create.
I think creating the abby cams is a great challenge and a great opportunity to further keep questioning and dismantling prejudices and sex-negative sexism against women.
I would love to be part of this!
Looking forward

I know even many of the dedicated "cam sites" have problems with lag, stutter and even loss of picture all together from time to time.
Same problem happens with the flash video on the AW web site from time to time, so think its just something that happens from time to time even more with live video feeds.

Live video streaming is one thing I do regularly for a living. Many factors and variables can play into what the overall quality of the stream, such as IP connection speed, computer resources at the point of origin of the camera pickup, streaming server resources, softwares and software settings used at any point along the way of encoding or interpreting the stream, etc.
This is where some standard benchmarks should be observed when setting up a stream. Mind you, I understand that many of these resources at the origin of camera pickup are dependent on the particular equipment, software and software settings of the user, but then again I don't expect every webcam and Skype user to fully understand how the stuff works so I do allow a good deal of understanding in that regards.
But as for any benchmarks, if consistency were something that was desired to be achieved between one cam session transmission to the next, it would be of benefit if a range of standards could be observed, but then again, I wouldn't expect the models to understand the technical jargon for making that happen because it does involve alot of details and variables so therein lies my general understanding of why the camera transmission qualities could vary from session to session, model to model.Last edited by wolfgangbuster29; 30 November 2014, 03:32 PM.

For me :
- my first session (with Renae D) was with the sound, but little screen,
- my second (with gretchen) was with no sound and little screen.
If i go in a site like cammodels, i haven't this problem (the quality of video and sound is good and you can have in big screen), but the girls are not so beautiful than Renae and gretchen.

My technical experience with the Gretchen session -
I was using a fairly new laptop, running Windows 8.1 and with 8gb memory. A net speed tool reported the download speed as 58 Mbps, connected directly to the router.
I began with Internet Explorer. It connected and disconnected several times per minute. I switched to Google Chrome - it stayed connected for the duration.
The video streaming was fairly choppy with a low and somewhat inconsistent rate of frames per second. The image quality was good though the window was fairly small. The audio was muffled much of the time and sounded a little like it was coming through a pipe. I used headphones but they did not help much. I often missed several syllables within sentences, an issue because Gretchen was sharing some very interesting details. I wasn't able to attend the previous sessions for various reasons so can't compare the technical aspects, and may have seen some differences between them in audio/video clarity as others have suggested.
Gretchen did a great job and this was the important thing for me beyond any technical issues.

Simono, can you look again next show - there;s a clear window re-sizer tool that shows on mouse-over, in the bottom-right corner. If you cannot see that, please ensure you're using the latest version of your web browser
If the problem persists, let us know here what browser and version you're using, so we can look into it further.
I agree there are many things we can do to improve Playdates, and we will do so - it's still in Beta mode while we test more exhaustively, and your help is appreciated.

Tried to access the latest Playdate with Laney but got this message:
There is currently a live show, but Playdates is only available to members who have current paid access to abbywinters.com, and meet these criteria:
Purchased 10 or more pay-per-scene scenes, or
Joined on a 3, 6 or 12-month subscription, or
Joined on a one-month rebilling subscription, and have rebilled at least once (ie, paid the initial join fee, and rebilled 32 days later for the same fee again.
On this basis I probably don't qualify as I haven't yet been automatically rebilled, instead have rejoined within a day or two of membership lapsing (did get to see Masie's Playdate but now not sure how or why). I've been a member for a while now (including previously under a different username) so I'm wondering what I have to do to qualify for forthcoming Playdates?

I'm guessing you got lucky with Masie's playdate

Garion, I didn't want to derail Laney's playdate thread with this thought, but this seems like a good place to bring it up: I was happy to read that you were talking to Laney about her doing a second playdate. If we're open to other repeat performances, maybe Gretchen could be asked back, to make up for the issues other members reported having during her first playdate?

And multiple shows per model is definitely what we'd prefer to do. But like scheduling the website itself, it's difficult to find a balance between shoots of new models, and shoots of existing models. As Playdates are so new, our approach is to get more new models at this stage, and see which models enjoy it, and which models customers enjoy, then in a month or so, start asking fave models to come back for more shows.
Which is along way of saying, yes, I agree with you!

Garion, I think you just made hundreds of Gretchen's fans very, very happy!
As long as I'm here, is AW looking for suggestions for playdate models, or is it an in-house discussion only?
