Click on the Big Brother logo to get the Quad cam.

Not on THIS one - on your Real player :)

Jan Someone had complained the only audio available was Gerry and Chiara and we couldn't choose which audio we wanted. I took a different angle and noted the audio we were receiving was funny since it was someone finally being nice to Gerry. Sorry for being off-topic, just enjoying the irony of the situation now Gerry is HoH and the man of the hour.

Lurk when I said 4 different feeds, I meant 4 different views... close up of one convo, far away of that convo, close up another convo, far shot of that convo. Of course, are the camera crew awake this year? Not often. It's not unusual to have F1 and F2 on E/Li (example), F3 and F4 on Marcie and Dani talking strategy and then all feeds go to E/Li. Blech.

Does this quad cam work only for those paying for the feeds?
I've just tried it, and it isn't active, on my RP. I get the white hand on the four feeds, but it goes back to an arrow on the logo, and doesn't work when I click on it, just in case, and I'm on a 28 day extension of the 14 day freebie.
Boy, what with RP pinching memory so that I have to reboot whenever I have Explorer on at the same time, why should I bother paying for the darn thing!

No quad cam for me today....no matter how many times I've tried to connect to it, I just get that awful obnoxious too-loud commercial. Previously, whenever that popped up (on whichever feed), if I just clicked "stop" and then reconnected to that same feed, it would be gone. Now....that is ALL I can receive on the quad channel.

"Those ba-stards!"

Ahhhh Belle...and wasn't being snippy at you...was snippy at Real and mostly Arnie for NEVER giving us four views. They did something most folks would have though impossible...they made aol look AWESOME. That first year coverage was by far the best (though they needed their geek idiot shot out back lol).

When I do quad I get four views. When I click either the 1, 2, 3, or 4, view 1 and 2 are the same. Don't under stand that.

Weird....Apparently they have different servers for the Mac OSX version of RealOne. When I launch RealPlayer8plus and run it within OSX'a Classic mode, I can get the quad cam. However, even after cutting and pasting the urls from RealPlayer8plus to the OSX RealOne....I can still get the quad cam on RealPlayer8+, but I can only get the commercial on RealOne's quad cam url.

The only thing that keeps me from getting really angry is the factr that I can run both RealPlayer8+ and RealOne for OSX on the same screen at the same times, watching 2 different feeds with their respective audios.

Never mind....now there is no quad cam on either player...just the obnoxious commercial.

When I first logged on today, I clicked the quad cam button and got the commercial. After the commercial, I clicked it again and got feed 1 instead, but the third time I clicked it, it worked fine and has ever since.

Still no quad cam on any RealPlayer version....just the commercial. This must mean that different servers across the country and giving us different things at the same time. A couple of weeks ago I was on the on the phobne with a friend in another state and we had entirely different things on the same feed for a LONG time....

Sanfran: Have you tried clicking on the BB logo in the lower-right corner of the single feed window? BTW: If I'm not mistaken, those links only work if you are in exactly 1x, 2x, or full screen. If you size the window manually, the buttons down the right side don't work. At least that's how it acts with my computer...just a thought.

btw:If it works, be sure to bookmark it for future! :)

I am in the same boat as SanFran... yesterday, the clip info for the quad cam referenced "quad". Today, it is identical to feed 4. I did put it in favorites yesterday, and even if I hit the quad favorite link, it is the commercial.

This is what worked for me yesterday:

For those who have it working, is this what your clip source is pointing to today?

(But all 4 cams are FOTH now...) :-(

Is anyone able to use the quad cam right now? I keep getting the commercial over and over

I'm watching the quad cam however it has only has two different cam views. Two of them are focused on two jars sitting in the sun. Looks like PB jars but they appear to be filled with honey?

Draheid - "Sanfran: Have you tried clicking on the BB logo in the lower-right corner of the single feed window? "

Nope, that link just gets me the comercial. I did have it bookmarked, and the bookmark just gives me the commercial, too. I tried both of the links posted above and they both give me a dialog saying that it couldn't make a connection to the server, that I may be having "network problems".

The other feeds all work just fine, and they even work on both of my RealPlayers at once (different feeds on separate versions of RP).

It's just the quad cams that no longer are accessible to me.

Same here Sanfran. I also noticed that when I choose the quad cam, the timer starts at 0:36 every time, which seems very odd.

Not that it matters but this hasn't worked all along because I clicked on that button when the show first started many times to see if it did anything and it did nodda. *shrug* sooo thrilled to know that it does something now!

Quad cams just now started working for me again....in both realplayers.

CBS should hire some technical people that know what they are doing...

This is why I like the quad cam....I keep it on RealOne for OSX, while on Realplayer8 (in OSX Classic mode), I can choose any particular feed. It gives me a heads up on when to switch to another feed with audio!

(of course, now that I like this so much, it'll probably get taken away by CBS or Real Networks!)

Is there a way to switch audio feed is Quad Cam? The first time I tried it, I could only hear Feed 1 audio.

Jan

The consensus seems to be that, No we cannot change audio..BB sets the audio with the Quad cam...usually feed 1.
