Camfrog Client 1.9.2924 (Mac OS X) Released
Camfrog Mac 1.9 is now available for download. In this new version a slowdown problem in busy chat rooms was fixed, a problem where some users saw upside down video windows is fixed, a crash some users experienced when exiting a busy room is fixed, a problem with profile photo submissions is fixed, and the installer now has an alias so it’s easy to drag the Camfrog app to your applications folder.
If you experience any crashes or major problems with this new client version please go to the “Camfrog Video Chat” menu and choose “Generate file for technical support”.

Nice, I had the crash-on-exit bug a few times now.
Any chance that Growl notifications will replace the custom made notification system?
August 26th, 2009 at 6:40 am
I like Growl, but we have not made a decision on this. What do you think is the advantage of Growl over the system we have now? Just looks better or what?
August 26th, 2009 at 7:11 am
Hopefully nothing strange will happen.
August 26th, 2009 at 9:12 am
@admin
I prefer Growl, because it’s integrated into the system. *And* I can forward Growl notification via Prowl to my Iphone. Big plus.
And of course, it’s prettier.
August 26th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Wow, I did not know you could send notifications to your phone with Growl. Cool feature.
August 26th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Eh, one thing I just noticed:
The camfrog notification is overlapping my dock (on the lower bottom). And I’m not able to clickthrough. Can I change the position of the notification?
Btw, is there a bugtracker for Camfrog available somewhere?
August 26th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
You can go to your Camfrog preferences to remove the pop-up completely. It’s probably a resolution thing, what is your screen resolution?
If you crash you can go to the Camfrog Video Chat menu and choose “Generate File For Technical Support” directly after the crash or major problem you are having. Please include detailed info if you can recreate the problem every time.
August 26th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Is there a Linux client or client source code we can compile for Linux?
August 27th, 2009 at 5:39 am
Lyndell, it is not technically possible and it would not work. We have a Linux server version though.
August 28th, 2009 at 4:16 am
Lyndell, you can use you install on Linux program” Winex” this is emulator Windows programs.
Cheers ^^

Mody,
your name was teTOS, there have “tos” in it and people in the Camfrog network will think you are the impersonalized as of Camfrog admin. Please register your name carefully before you get another ban.

September 2nd, 2009 at 8:24 am
4amr,
I think my opinion, you are trying to fool the Camfrog team since you copy the post from other post. I don’t think Camfrog will do anything to unban you.

On new Mac client I appreciate that nics in the name column inside rooms are not truncated like before. thanks.
Any plan to add an Invite button to Mac, so users can invite people to join a room. I have never seen this feature in Mac CF, while it has been in WIndows CF for long time.

In the previous version, I could maximize the video window and move it, then click on the maximize button again and it would shrink and return to its original size and position. I loved that. It doesn’t work in this version.
Unfortunately, I upgraded the software right about the same time that I updated to snow leopard, so I can’t tell which one caused it.
Anyone else experiencing this and miss the old behavior?
September 4th, 2009 at 3:35 am

hello
i have a problem
this morning i was in a 18+ chatroom
i was not even behind my pc…
when i came back to my pc i found out my profile was disabled for no reason
i cannot log in with my nick: TaMi anymore
i hope you can tell me why i was disabled?
i dont know what i have done really…
kind regards TaMi
September 4th, 2009 at 6:35 am
Mody, you should only purchase your Pro code from CAMFROG, not someone in Italy.
This is a lesson many people learn the hard way. Camfrog Pro codes are NOT transferrable. That means you or I cannot resell our codes. It is not that hard to understand.
You want something cheap, but Camfrog is already the best buy on the net. Why try to cheat Camfrog out of their profits? When codes are reported as being compromised (sold without authorization) they are deactivated. They no longer work, and since Camfrog cannot tell EXACTLY who the code belongs to after being resold several times, they choose to deactivate the code itself, PLUS all nicknames found to have been using that code.
Really quite simple.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:45 am
TaMi .. you too ? ? ?
i think most banned with no reason .. :S
September 4th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Here is a simple example for you all :
If you purchase an automobile for yourself, and you then sell that same automobile to five different people, exactly how are each of those other people able to use that one automobile at the same time?
It is not possible. This is so easy to understand that it is not funny.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Zoomshorts , my pro code still work 100% and my pc was not banned i am buyed from my money and i have my order i got many bannded why ??? [5jz - MrTeToS - TeToS] no Reason and camfrog must alert when banned some one just send E-mail for Reason
September 4th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
i wanna ask why camfrog support ignore people .. ?? must gave money for support or what !! i am still not understand why i am lost my money always .. ? please have any answer from any one for helping me !!? or just for money or for popular people ?
September 4th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
You were reported as pretending to be a moderator, and your name includes the word “TOS” that may confuse people and make them think you are a moderator.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
many many many friends do same and all not banned oky if this Reason can u move my friend list and Gifts to my new nickname or it’s still not allowed in camfrog ? i am really not understand What is Camfrog System for Users .. so many ignoring and more friends have Word TOS in nicknames … 2 – if not allowd for make why camfrog system allow for me for Creat in nickname ?? Thx for Replaying and please try help me
September 4th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Mody, If Camfrog say dont copy the TOS name then DONT do it and dont give them a hard time. Thank you
September 4th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Mody, you were reported for pretending to work for Camfrog as a moderator in combination with using this name. We cannot block the letter TOS in names because many normal words include this letter combination.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
sir i am not work in camfrog i am just user same any user make TOS in his nickname please un banned i am not do any worng i am buying all by my money and now i am lost … why ?? it’s make me sad when i make nickname and buy something for it and got banned lost money and Friend list please sir ..

Hi, my mac version of camfrog dosent save IM history!
Is there a way i can still track them down or does it never same them?
September 5th, 2009 at 6:17 am
We will work on adding IM history for sure, thanks.
September 5th, 2009 at 6:36 am
Admin , why u ignore me ?? just tell me why ignore me . i want move my friend list and my gifts to my new nick and banned MrTeToS if u want :’(
September 5th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Mody, Camfrog does NOT ignore people. TOS are letter combinations that are not allowed because it gives other users the impression that you are actually a Camfrog employee. THAT is what is disallowed. DO NOT use the letters TOS in a nickname and you will be fine.
The fact that you have been responded to, is enough to demonstrate to you that Camfrog does listen.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
okey i am sorry for many asks .. can u unpanned nickname for just 1 hour for move my friend list and ask you for move my gifts ?? i think it’s my money and i can ask about that !!
September 5th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Mody, send the helpdesk your order number and serial so we can see it belongs to you along with your gift orders. Include “Mody” in the subject.
September 5th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Admin , now i am not have the order because we in Egypt can not buy so i am sending to my friend in thailand and he make for me . . and he lost order number becase he make many orders beer day .. what i do now .. and thanks for replay

This is a follow-up on the question about a Camfrog client for linux.
The response was: it is not technically possible.
I find this a very strange answer. MacOS itself is based on Unix.
Besides a lot of companies have released official software for Linux. The closest example is Skype with fully working webcam and audio support.
So ofcourse it is technically possible. I run Ubuntu for my work and private use on my laptops on computers. I can do everything with it and in most cases even better than in Windows.
The only thing I cannot do however is run Camfrog. It works half under the Wine project but most of the time it just crashes.
If the Camfrog team is really dedicated they should release also a Camfrog client. You already have a sever version so the know-how is there. Hey…i know it takes time and money…but if Skype can do it then also Camfrog can do it.
I am not Linux fanboy (I have worked for Microsoft) but I just see a growing number of people using linux instead of Windows.
September 8th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Jay, some of the video technology we license has no Linux option. If we change technology sometime in the future it may be possible. We do have a version of Camfrog Server for linux, but it does not actually view video and use the same type of video technology the client uses.
September 8th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Also I don’t think Mac OS X is based on Linux.
September 9th, 2009 at 5:31 am

September 9th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
It is not based on Linux but Unix. So Linux and OSX have a common ancestor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X
Quote:
“Mac OS X, whose “X” represents the Roman numeral for “10″ and is a prominent part of its brand identity, is a Unix-based operating system”
and
“Since Mac OS X is POSIX compliant, many software packages written for the *BSDs or Linux can be recompiled to run on it.”
But I understand your point since you licensed the video technology and are thus dependent on the choices of the software developer.
What might be possible though that Camfrog could work together with the WINE project to sort out some issues. Now I can run Camfrog and do IM’s but video and joining rooms still don’t work.
September 12th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Jay, Mac Os X is based on BSD, a totally different animal. It is NOT UNIX, but a clone, a derivative. Berkley Software Development. WINE is an emulator, and as such, not a compliant software.
Quoting Wikipedia may not be the best thing to do, in as much as I can edit it.
LOL
Camfrog developed their own video technology. Why would they release a free version? It would undercut their profits. The Linux community is based upon ‘free source code’ and why would ANY proprietary software, give it away for free? Riddle me that Batman.
September 12th, 2009 at 9:46 am
We just license something Zoomshorts. If we developed our own we could make a Linux version, so perhaps we may do that someday. For now though it’s not possible.

Yeaa so….i have had the same problem as most, firstly all my rooms was offline then they all dissapeared now 75% of my contacts have vanished lol
Still i dont think it’s affecting your profile page all contacts should still be visible on your own profile.. you can easily re-add them. . although it’s a pain in the A#% and more than likely they will get deleted again hahaha
If your rooms are still showing OFFLINE…just right click and copy the room name, delete the room & paste it to ADD again…it should be ok then.
This should also apply with your contacts !! GoOd LuCk
And HURRY back SEVERS we MISS you * cries *

cf 1.9.2924 is still extremely slow-going. and, to some extent, so is 1.8. i’ve been using 1.8. so… wondering if someone at cf will- please, of course- provide us mac users with more info about this matter. so that we may get a better idea of what is going on, here. as for us cf pro users, we paid good money to use a product that works to a good performance standard. presently, the ’state-of-the-art’ version of cf for mac, 1.9- and, its predecessor, 1.8- are seemingly substandard performers, by far. cf: we deserve better. come on. please… help us out, here. something. anything. thank you.
September 26th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Guy,
I use this version every day and I have not experienced this issue. I also monitor email communications carefully and so far we have not had many complaints from Mac users about this.
Please give details on the type of hardware you have, your OS version, your webcam type and your amount of RAM.
Try exiting other apps while using Camfrog.

Is it possible to up your RAM to 4GB?
September 29th, 2009 at 7:51 am
this one will only go to 2gb max. so… maybe, 4gb ram seems to be good minimum standard?
September 29th, 2009 at 7:53 am
You say the software is slow. Can you give more details about what exactly is slow with it? This would help me understand.
If the video is slow this can be due to network problems for example and has nothing to do with hardware.

You guys have this problem of whit CF for Mac?

Rehanpradita :: I have the same problem as you too, has anyone told you what’s wrong? I am in the UK now and facing the same thing while using Camfrog for Mac..
Dear admin, I would appreciate your prompt reply on this since my screen has froze on logging in for about an hour for each login session.
October 31st, 2009 at 4:45 am
Dear Camfrog Admin,
I have been experiencing problems logging on from my (Camfrog for Mac 1.9). My user id is my09dbs. The problem is that what I sign in, the screen always stuck at the Logging in.. stage with the CF logo spinning. It normally takes me an hour to log in to Camfrog for the past 5 days.
Is there a problem with the software for the Mac version, because I can login from my Windows PC with ease.
Looking forward to your reply,
November 7th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Often I am in rooms with 1000+ people. It would be handy to have a search for nickname feature instead of having to scroll up and down the user list (I am often in the China rooms and most people have very very similar nicknames). Could this be an option for feature versions or maybe a CF Pro feature?
November 13th, 2009 at 9:23 am
i also have experiencing problem logging on Camfrog from my Mac. anyone help! it just keep on the logging stage! and the logo is just always spinning around!
when i use Window wit my nickname it did let me in, i just need to use on my Mac coz i don’t have a webcam for using wit PC..
January 15th, 2010 at 9:46 am

hey , i dont know if you can help but i would really appreciate it if you could .
i have been a legit camfrog pro user for a very long time! however i go through spurts of using camfrog and then i am inactive for a while and then use it again however on returning as of late i find all my nicknames no longer exist and i can no longer activate my pro … i bought pro properly thru cleverbridge i recently did a total restore on my computer so thought maybe i copied down my pro code incorrectly.
i have the ref# and invoice for my purchase i have emailed them but it hasnt helped all i get is a copy of what i have i am no closer to finding out if it is my pro code that is incorrect or maybe i was just totally wiped off because i was deactive for a while!??…
just because i go through spurts of using camfrog and being deactive surely doesnt mean i should get deleted !? i paid for the program and i do use it. i am very disappointed at this. i didnt even get emails asking if i was no longer using the program etc. i find this absurd.
please help me out.
thanks ,
Kay
