regarding to the preview in the apartment list, shown on the left:
as i understand, you can add the apartment to favorites.
but can you also manage, which cam is shown in the preview for an apartment?
the cam, that is shown in that preview, seems to be very randomly, also if it’s selection for the preview might depend on how many users are actually viewing or if light is on or something is moving there or something else like that.
would it be nice, when you can select a cam as a favorite for an partment for that preview?

Cool idea. You have my vote for that. 
I also think it’s a good idea, but I think it would be even better if the selected favorite cam was not displayed in the previews but on the left in the favorites. That way you would have your favorite cam on the left and would still be able to see the currently most viewed apartments via the previews.

No, it fits. You’ve basically already made it clear with your first sentence what you’re writing about. I have overlooked it. Sorry.
What I find more difficult is the fact that all the preview cams on the left are not labeled. Only when you move the mouse over them you do know for sure which apartment it is. I think it would be better if they were labeled with the participant’s name or at least the realm number. But this is actually a new and separate suggestion. However, I have my strong doubts as to whether all the suggestions will be taken note of at all. 
i also often must search to get back to an partment, because i do not remember what preview it was when i left it or it is just not the same preview anymore.
I may not understand what you mean here, If so just ignore this, and my view is going to be different from yours because I’m on a phone. But, when I tap on a preview, it gives me the apartment name, the time zone and the room. Is that something like what you meant?
i guess…yes. you have to go with mouse over or click to get the apartment name shown.
btw…the presentation on your fon looks even better, sharper, clearer than on my over full HD widescreen
is that, because you have a sub you get higher resolution?
for the stream…i know. i mean your previews. might be an optical illusion because the size relation to the stream is totally different.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a sub, but there is a button at the bottom of the feed to allow you to choose between low and high definition. Typically it defaults to HD, but it may have gotten switched. It may be worth a look.
Oh, gotcha. IDK, I don’t have a larger screen to view it on, but my phone screen resolution is 1080 x 2340 with a DPI (dots per inch) of 480.

Frankly ALL of the preview cams would need to be vastly improved before I could choose a favourite. I had a look at them recently and there is NOT a single one which would currently entice me to pay for subscription If I wasn’t doing so anyway.
I am happy to be a premium subscriber, knowing full well I have access to all of the cameras that work. I genuinely feel sorry for those who do don’t (yet).

I have just realised this has nothing to do with my point as I was talking about the cameras which are ONLY available to non subscribers… apologies for any confusion. My point still stands about THAT though.

This is what is happening and, in my opinion, is very good this way

mmmhhhh…i have often seen, while in bedroom was actually hot action:
- the preview was on a free cam, livingroom e.g,
- or empty bathroom (not free cam)
preview cam decision because more NoSub users watching the free cam than users with sub watching bedroom is not matching with 2.
‘only users with sub are counting for decision’ is not matching with 2., because why should more users watch empty bathroom than action in bedroom?
all related to the preview of apartment overview/list on the left side.
i observed that thing long time. i guess you know that i’m still exploring every thing here.
that is fact… but it also changes back to other cam while action is on.
what ever it is, it will never do better than yourself can do. it can only be faster in making the wrong decision.
From what i noticed, it usually takes some time until the change to the cam where the action is. Not sure how the algorithm is set up

There is also the timeline which counts as “live views”. As you mentioned the example with the empty bathroom. There is a very high possibility that a lot of premium users are watching, using the timeline, some past action which happened in the bathroom. That also counts and it’s changing the previews

In that case, i assume that is just a timing issue. It takes a while until the previews are updated. I don’t really know the frequency
if i where the developer and would use it here myself, i would tell myself ‘shit. it is not doing what i want’
that’s what i told my self often when i’ had a development in progress 
i was hard to be satisfied with my work
what i want to say is: the thing is good as it is 
but it’s not perfect 
what i learned from this discussion:
as my ‘explore-things’ apartment is San, and they are staying 90% in bedroom, the following might cause the things:
i observe the preview and stream kitchen and livingroom permanent. as i do not count it doesn’t matter for selection of the preview cam.
most of the time they just relax/sleep in bedroom. because of that some uses timeline in other rooms, what causes preview cam changes from bedroom to the other one.
timeline users leave the apartment, nothing else happens, it goes back to living room or bedroom, when there was one user for short inspection or also for timeline
only one thing remains: i definitly see in preview when they ‘get physical’ and suddenly cam change. remains a mystery or is just a wrong memory due to

What we REALLY need is proper previews with motion detectors showing exactly what is happening in a given room of an apartment, in real time… like they have on the RLC website.
