As of yesterday (Oct 24, 2011) there is a new version of the Model Web Broadcaster available and fully functional for us to use. It's beautiful and has wonderful features!
Some improvements you will see when you try it out:
1. The window that pops up with people queue for a group is much smaller, slightly transparent, and pops up at the top of your chat window instead of in the bottom left (where it previously blocked some of the buttons/user info). It also disappears appropriately when everyone leaves the queue.
2. You can ignore, add friend, remove friend, view profile, ban > 60-day ban, un-ignore and un-ban from a member's PM window (which I find is the easiest way) or you can find most of these features on a little dropdown on your main window after clicking on the member.
3. You can pop out a PM into a separate window (but also leaves the original PM window in tact.) If you close the original PM window, it closes the pop out as well.
4. Member's info (reward points and token counts, if visible) will update in real-time if you have the member selected.
5. When having a conversation in a PM, the PM window will now show text if the member logs off/on. We also now get notifications in the public chat when we receive new MFC mail.
6. The "mute guests" and "mute basics" buttons are right at the top of the screen, right next to the topic, and you only have to click them once (no confirmation dialog popup!)
7. Many of the buttons have been moved around a bit (they arranged the window to be friendlier to models using smaller screens/resolutions) so you'll need a bit of time to adjust, but I'm sure you'll find everything works like you'd expect. I've attached a screen cap of the interface so you can get an idea now, but I highly suggest trying it out yourself.
I ran this new version during my entire shift last night and it worked flawlessly. The only thing I haven't checked is if the video still crashes when I resize my browser while I'm broadcasting.
If any of you ladies are using the web broadcaster (which I highly recommend, it's much more useful and intuitive than the software at this point) and run into a bug, there is a link on the page right when you log in that says "feedback" that you can use to send in a report. Remember, showing them screen caps of the problem and being very detailed about the issue/what you were doing at the time helps. I've been testing this with the Admins for weeks now and I think the biggest bugs and kinks are taken care of, though.
Happy camming!
