Anyone who has been following this thread knows that there are two distinct types of error being reported here.
1) Unable to connect to a chat room (which used to relocate you to another room and now reloads the same room)
2) Unable to connect to a video stream (which may happen as soon as you join a room or intermittently after the video worked for some period of time)
We've made progress on both of these fronts despite shooting ourselves in the foot a couple of times as early as this morning.
Connecting to chat rooms should be much more reliable now. There was a network event that occurred this morning that might cause some of you to disagree but, on the whole, our data indicates a sizable improvement over the last couple of weeks.
Streaming live video has improved in a couple of different ways. I mentioned a couple of posts back that we had identified a flaw in our broadcasting software and we've finally had an opportunity to release this update to performers. Even with only ~40% of performers using the new broadcaster we're seeing much more reliable/smoother playback. We also identified an issue not related specifically to the broadcast software that was fixed this morning.
I appreciate everyone's patience and candor. We will continue to search for more fixable problems. By no means do I believe we're done here.
