IMPORTANT HTML 5 VIDEO FILE NOT FOUND

Agree, linked video works just. If everyone obeyed the rule you quote, there would be no content on CW.

I obey the rule just fine. If everyone else did, CW would be full of QUALITY ORIGINAL content, not a load of shit that clogs up the servers.

I am having the same problem. My experience with this is as follows:

A couple of days ago no videos worked, all timed out to html5 error.

Then this was fixed, for almost all videos. The only videos which still had the same problem were videos uploaded within the last 2 months.

Even new videos, posted after the problem was (mostly) fixed, were working. Just videos which were posted between approx 2 months ago up to the time the problem was (mostly) fixed, were not working.

However, right now, once again, no videos are working on the site for me.

I am not using an adblocker, not using a proxy, have tried multiple browsers and devices. I have also been using the site fine with no problems up until the moment the issue started the other day.

I hope this helps whoever needs to know/understand what the problem is. I hope it will be fixed soon.

Thanks.

yep, all they say is "disable adblock". Why are they using such ridiculous video server names like "hdgsgvcvideos.wpnrtnmrewunrtok.xyz"?
I thought it was them as just a few days ago (as you said) ALL videos weren't working and now the video servers just time out.

100% lost

Hi friends,, I would like to ask about message (Html5 video file not found)... is it error and video is still there,, or it was already deleted from the site ??..
If is still how can I play it???

Hello,
Hope you're well.
You can still play it.
Common used browsers like Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Safari stopped supporting flash player, that's why you can see HTML5 Error.
So use little-known browsers like PaleMoon, SeaMonkey etc, which still support flash player.
I came to this conclusion accidentally.
Super easy!
It works 101%!

Now I'm intrigued. I can think of two ways that a poster to CW can comply with the rule:

1) The poster IS the performer and therefore owns the copyright or
2) The poster paid a fee to the performer for the right to use the material.

What am I missing?
 
Chrome works fine but most adult content delivery sites don't like Ad Block Plus.

However speed on the download servers has been very iffy this last week as well.

Has something changed? Because the site was working a week ago.
 
It is ok to have an opinion about how things should be, but it is also ok to upload that content.

If there is a dmca issue, a model can complain by following the instructions on the website and admins will deal with it.

I suppose I was being sarcastic. The rule quoted above seems daft in the context of the videos posted to CW. I certainly only post video that I have recorded myself so I suppose that is compliance as most people here choose to interpret it.
 
@Brossard

It wasn't directed at you. The thread was going in a funny direction with a strong opinion being shared and I wanted to make it clear that we certainly can upload that type of content, so that nobody is confused about that.
 
Keeping the thread on topic, can I ask if anyone involved with the maintenance of the site can confirm that they are aware of the problems I am talking about?

i.e. that something happened a few days ago which is causing some users to be unable to play any videos.

It doesn't seem to be affecting everyone, but I think I'm not the only person experiencing it too. I know the common answer to the html5 error is about adblockers or vpns. But this is something which has started a few days ago, and I previously haven't had this problem. No adblockers or VPN. Mobile & PC. Different browers. Same problem.

Thanks.

A few posts ago I offered to use another browser, but Chrome, Opera, Safari, Firefox.
Flash Player doesn't work on HTML5 websites because HTML5 has replaced Flash as the preferred method for playing multimedia content on the web. HTML5 provides native support for audio and video playback, eliminating the need for a separate plug-in like Flash Player. Additionally, HTML5 is more secure, efficient, and accessible compared to Flash. As a result, many websites and browsers have dropped support for Flash Player and are now using HTML5 exclusively. Many websites have also moved away from using Flash and now use HTML5 for their audio and video content.
To overcome this you can use unauthorized flash plugins for your browser or a browser which still supports a flash player.

Firefox stopped supporting flash in January of 2021.

This website has been working fine until about a week ago. That is why I asked if something has changed recently. Does the website even use flash? The error suggests the site is using (trying to find) HTML5 video.

Again, the website worked perfectly fine until about a week ago, so surely that has nothing to do with firefox not supporting flash, which it hasn't supported for 2 years anyway.
 
Hi there
I've been having the "html5: video file not found" problem for at least a couple of months
I don't have VPN and I don't have ADblock
I read the comment suggesting that by changing the browser (PaleMoon, SeaMonkey etc., which still support Flash Player) it is possible to watch the videos
personally I haven't tried it yet, but I ask you: is it possible that Camwhore doesn't use a format compatible with the most popular browser in the world (Chrome) ??
maybe they are looking for a solution..
I ask you please, can you see these videos? or not ?
Thank you

You're right, the website tries to use html5 for playing a vid.
The problem, which we're talking about has been continuing for about 2 years with varying succes, the site works then it doesn't.
It looks like devs haven't yet made the full move HTML5 or don't have possibility to do it with old vids or something like that.
Imho, the problem may start occuring more frequently.

Where does this rule mention copyright?

Only upload videos that you made or that you are authorized to use.

Nope. Nothing about copyright. If I use screen recording software to capture a show, I made that video, so I am able to upload it per the site rules. However, if I bought a video on OF, downloaded it from another site, or reuploaded someone else's video, I neither made the video nor am I authorized to use it.
Is that clear enough?

Additionally, copyright laws vary from country to country.
 
@j.sex

The first link displayed as "html 5: video file not found" while an adblocker was active, but played correctly when the adblocker was turned off.

they should work now. I had this problem for the past couple of days but the video servers appear to be responding now
 
@Zugg O

Thanks for making your opinion crystal clear, again.

In any case, people are welcome to upload and share content from OF, Fansly etc, both on camwhores.tv and in this forum, as long as it doesn't contain scat, vomit, blood, revenge porn, violence, self-harm, zoophilia.

If things change, admins will let us know.
