Happy New Year! Unfortunately, I have more Virool videos with the same or similar problem. Today's one: "Stephen King Fan Film" http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/204846?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 The video does not start, "Share on Facebook" button appears several times instead. Tried with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome, I had the same problem regardless of the web browser. 2016-01-01 at 22:18:46 |

New day, new problem: 3 videos appeared with the same title: Virool U: Inside Reddit with CEO Steve Huffman http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/190567?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/188409?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/190885?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 The video starts playing but after 10-11 seconds it stops with this message: "Subscribe to this Youtube channel to get a reward!" Needless to say, I get no credit for either of the 3 videos, even after subscribing to the channel. 2016-01-11 at 20:29:31 |

Those guys at Virool do have some problems. Here are another 3 stop-after-a-few-seconds videos: The Secret of All Viral Videos - Virool http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/189759?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 "Click and Share on Facebook to get 2 Gems" (after 2 seconds), playback stops Cannes Lions Teaser Part 2 http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/190567?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 The Secret of All Viral Videos - Virool http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/188409?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 "Subscribe to this Youtube channel to get a reward!" after 11 seconds, playback stops There has been many who tried to subscribe to their channel hoping it helps, that's why they have 46K subscribers (and counting), probably. I unsubscribed, of course. Mr. Huffman, please do a better job, no fake self-boosting videos, please. 2016-01-15 at 00:52:56 |

New day, new problem. Sorry for posting these issues so frequently, but this Virool Video Wall has begun to drive me crazy. Sometimes I do not get credited for playing certain videos. I got used to it, I have to replay them in these cases and I used to get credited on the 2nd or 3rd attempt. (Those guys at Virool and/or their clients owe me some quids by now for those many replays for free. Feel free to pass them my PayPal details if they wish to compensate me. I doubt they do.) I've had some videos recently that did not credit me at all, even after several replay attempts. I've tried replaying them all over again many times, tried switching browser tabs, switching web browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) to no avail. Today's ones: (sorry, forgot to note the title) http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/207263?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 Title: "Can You Be My Baby" by Browdy Lowen http://api.virool.com/widgets/ac69db4/207290?width=530&height=340&or=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.you-cubez.com%2Fofferwall_virool.php&suid=125780 (I tried to replay this one 10 times or even more, no credit was given.) Update: I think I may have got the credit for the Browdy Lowen video finally, I gave it another try from home and got some credit on the 2nd attempt, but I'm not 100% sure since there was some other video I managed to catch on the video wall. 2016-01-19 at 18:51:09 |

The situation has got even worse today. While I had some videos credited this morning, I had 5 (!) videos without any credits this afternoon on the same computer, even after several replay attempts. I tried to log off / log back on, restarted the browser and cleared the browser cache, even try to switch to a different computer on a different network and so forth to no avail. I'm really disappointed. :-( 2016-01-20 at 17:45:42 |

We've e-mailed Virool and waiting to hear back. We can see successful conversions today again so it must just be certain videos. 2016-01-21 at 15:28:16 |

Thanks for taking care of the problem. I also raised a complaint at Virool support. Finally I managed to get credited for some other videos yesterday evening. I think I have to deal with the fact that I get no credit for certain videos and/or at certain periods. The most problematic period is between 15-16 and 19-20 hours (server time). 2016-01-21 at 21:16:06 |

Although I promised to stop whining about this bloody Virool I have to report that this weekend the situation has got worse than ever. Although it seems I'm quite all right in the Virool video contest, I'm pretty sure I could have beaten everyone if I was credited for all videos I've tried to play several times to get credited ONCE without any luck. (I think that 'sabertwo' is the only one here who knows the trick how to get credited for all videos, but she/he won't share it with us, probably.) I've been credited for ~25% or less of videos I played this weekend, most of the times the same videos are offered for playing, without the credit, of course. I've tried all those tricks that worked before most of the times, to no avail this time: - logged out, cleared browser cache/history and temp files (which I do very often), logged back in, - switched computers, locations, networks, I've even tried to log in from computers I have access to in some countries which are different from mine, - tried it on my smartphone as well, - restarted home router. I've read about Virool in a couple of forums, this company seems to be quite infamous among their clients, advertisers, PTC site owners etc., there are tons of complaints against their services, many use the S word on them... Still, if there's anything I can do on my side, please let me know. 2016-02-07 at 15:31:40 |

Still no credits for today's videos. 10 videos, 60-80 replays overall, still nothing. Dear You-Cubez Admin, please share Virool's PayPal account with us so we can send them our donations. A company that cannot pay £0.0025 + your share per video is in a deep financial crisis without a doubt. They need our support probably, without the community's aid a huge quality video content would be lost or left unnoticed without Virool's service, we need everyone's kind help to avoid losing it. Thanks in advance. 2016-02-07 at 20:55:11 |

It is clear that I'm not gonna get paid for Virool videos at all today. In case anyone would still pay for 12 videos, ~100 replays overall here are the Virool IDs of the videos I played with getting payed for them: 209609, 210094, 210095, 210228, 210145, 210274, 208857, 209865, 210298, 210309, 210328, 210329 You can check your logs to find out that I really played those videos multiple times. Virool: thanks for the opportunity to support your business for free. My time is absolutely not valuable so I'm happy to spend it on you. 2016-02-07 at 23:30:03 |

One more thing, it seems that it's only me who was not paid, I see many others get their credits all day. 2016-02-07 at 23:50:22 |

Almost forgot: Dear sabertwo, congratulations for winning this month's contest. I wish I could get paid half as many times as you do so we could have an exciting battle for the 1st place. 2016-02-08 at 00:04:37 |
