The auto video resolutions for the webcams on the PC are only 380p–540p, what happend here since april?

Hello @all & @punker barbie

No matter which cam I open on the desktop-PC, the video quality is set to auto 360p, sometimes 480p.

If I manually select 720p or 1080p, very few cams work, most of them just lagging.

For the ones that run at 720p or 1080p, I set them back to auto, and then it stays at 720p or 1080p.
When I refresh the cam, it goes back to auto 360p.

It’s not my internet connection or the browser, because other users I’ve talked to are having the same problems.

In march all was fine, it's since april. Before, no matter which cam I opened, the auto setting was set to the highest possible video quality and all cams worked fine with 720p or 1080p.

What has Chaturbate changed here???

CB is now using low latency HLS
in general it works rather nice , errors are recovered very fast
but indeed , it sometimes starts at a low resolution

If people can't watch cams in 720p and 1080p anymore, because the picture is lagging, you can't say "it works rather nice"

did just some extra testing and most cams start at highest resolution , without lag
a few sometimes drop back to 360p but go back to 1080p after a while

but if you go to an other browser tab the resolution always goes down and will not always recover if you go back

That’s how it is for you, but important is the majority of users.
No matter who I’ve spoken to, everyone (european users) has been having this problem for weeks, that cams are only streaming in poor quality.
The reason is now clear to me: CB switched to HLS.
The fact is, if this keeps up, it’s no fun to broadcasting and especially watching cams

THIS! My users cant watch me in 1080p anymore. I stream in HD with bitrate 5500 and is lagging but not dropping lower than 4900 so acceptable, but if i set lower bitrate is lagging til unacceptable quantities to be in HD , so for me best solution is set bitrate in HD as high as i can, but HD+ i cant with bitrate 5500. Maybe i will try 8000 and will see today
