Yesterday I had quite a few long privates and exclusives, and almost all of them ended with the guy getting kicked out of the room at a certain point (I know because they sent me a PM afterwards). And not only that: I noticed that many times in free chat, guys who seem genuinely nice log off after asking me how I'm doing/trying to start a conversation. Could it be that they get kicked out of free chat, too? Either way, it's really, really frustrating.
That seems to happen to me a lot too since I've come back to camming. I can't seem to get privates longer than 10-15 minutes before I get an "error, youve been disconnected" message :(
I tried to contact Support but they act like they don't really know what to do about it.
That's what I mean by Streamate putting me in such a bad mood. Even when things go right they go wrong on there lol.

My placement has dropped back a page, and I wish I knew why! I'm struggling bad lately and I can't help but feel someone is out to get me. Ever since I started using the new encoder settings my placement has been fucked. My stream looks great though, I can't figure it out!
Edit: And I also reverted back to the old encoder settings and my placement was the same. Still SUCK.

I peeked in your room yesterday and you do look out of proportion. Something in your webcam or encoder settings might not be correct....? :(
I am using the new settings they gave us. :/

I have had nothing but trouble with streamate this week. The traffic in my room sucks and the new encoder is so messed up and laggy that the guys I do get in aren't staying long. Even my regulars have commented on it. Is there some kind of magic trick to fix the encoder problem?

try the lower quality settings, its been working for me. however, i had serious connection problems tonight. I was booted 4 times in 4 hours, twice on private costing me a few dollars. on top of that one of the girls that takes all my traffic was on pretty much all night, forcing me to stay off most of the night. :( oh well better luck tomorrow i guess. i wasnt having trouble getting privates tonight but it did seem like clients were staying only 1-2 minutes, but who cares i think it hilarious how someone just paid 12 dollars just to see me take my shirt off, idiots.:O

I have them and dare i ask what anime is in ur siggy ....
Can you tell me what the settings are, or are they not applicable any more? I guess I'll just stick to the retarded widescreen. For some reason I have a 3-5 sec. lag, last night I was in many block sessions and they said my cam keep freezing. It was frustrating, but it was ok (i guess) since it was block sessions. The anime is
[email protected] I just wish I had Sasamis-san's sweet computer set up, with all the those mecha and gundam models in my background when I cam. I guess you can say I'm a closet Otaku with hefty dashes of dork, geek, & nerd

My placement also dropped half page..And I installed Windows 7 so I can use all 4 GB RAM instead of 2 and turbo boost on my comp, so I thought my placement will get a little better..instead it went down :(

Ok this is where I am with the new settings. Last week I was pulling my hair out over them, now I'm using the lower settings and its working better. I still get freezing and pixelating occasionally but I would say 80% of the time it's fine not crisp but I can work with this. I'm wondering now if it's more of a site issue and things will settle down in time. For now I will continue as I am and stop stressing out over every little glitch lol

Why if I use widescreen settings I look like more thin? But the other girls I check look stretched...How to fix that? I use recommended or sometimes lower settings, have logitech C920 cam, everything set up correctly...

Me too...I've checked some other models I knew their placement from before and some have the same placement, while many other have been pushed down..I don't know the reason for that.

Hey, they started ignoring me first! ;)

One thing I found you can do is just use your old settings and then towards the bottom where it says "Crop" put 60 in the "top" and "bottom" fields. That will take your old look and just crop it to make it look wide screen. That way your bitrate and everything you were using before will all be the same but you'll still appear wide screen. It's similar to the new "lower quality" file. Worked for me.

K I have literaly just logged on, checking my placement, I am on 2nd page of my niche, I'm usually up top on page one, but on the main sire I am usually on page 2, found myself on page 8! The thing is the front page is full of girls I've never heard of, some of the girls usually found on the front are back on page 2, JAC couldn't see you on the front hun, so it looks like placements fucked up again tonight! Still getting traffic though, Oh well.

I have two quick questions... hoping that you girls can help me out. :)
With the turbulent reviews the new wide screen encoder settings are receiving, I'm thinking of skipping using the encoder and/or trying out the wide screen encoder for the moment. I was thinking, if I select the "HD High" from the drop menu instead of "External Encoder" on the SM camming page (above the video display box) and not use the encoder would that be just as "good" as using the fancy-pants encoder? Like, basically just streaming through the site on High HD settings? Does this idea make sense? :O
And my second question (I'm sure it's been asked in this thread before but I don't feel like scrolling through 200+ pages at the moment)... Is there anyway I can see my placement on SM front page with region area blocks set on my profile? Because currently I cannot seem to do so.

The answer to the first question is: No. It won't be just as good because it will still effect your placement. Use the encoder to get better placement.
Second question: No, you can't see your placement with the block on. You'll have to ask someone else to check for you.

Thank you! I am going to use the regular encoder for now as I just signed on and I got a pop up message saying I can't do TV shows not using the encoder. So then I tried using the new profile and my image was stretched out. I guess it's back to the old encoder for now... I emailed admin to see if there is a way to fix the wide screen settings. I'm sure they are going to write me back something generic like, "this is a known issue we are looking into it.". Haha but it's worth a shot. ;)
As for placement that's what I thought but I wasn't sure if there was a way around it on the white label websites.. Thanks again!

You're welcome :) Did you try using the old settings on the encoder and changing the "crop" ratio like I suggested in my earlier post? It worked for me and my computer couldn't handle the normal widescreen settings.

Yes, I did read that... but I'm a bit confused. So to clarify, you mean to use those old settings in the new wide screen profile?

Yeah, basically just load your encoder like you would normally do with the old settings (if you still have the old settings) and just adjust the numbers to 60 beside the "Crop" setting...in the encoder.

Yep I was on page two yesterday and I am using SM new widescreen encoder settings. Lots it helped my placement, huh?
I am thinking of going back to the old setting today and see what happens with my placement.

I would like to know wtf is wrong with the encoder. From the day I started in late April encoder works with 800-1100kbps(I have 900kbps upload in my internet package) if I stream in the morning local time(night time in US), but with only 90-350 in the late afternoon or evening! I thought it is my internet provider, but at Speedtest I got exactly the same speed as in the morning, and I tested multiple times. And it doesn't seem it gets unstable, because it works at 90-350 all the time I'm on and not just ocasionally. It's almost imposible to work because my stream is too fuzzy! Is that normal, more girls online-more problems or what could it be?

Yeah, that's it, I'm going back to the old settings. I HATE widescreen. I have to scrunch up my body just to fit in that short box and not once has any person said "oh em gee, I love you in widescreen". Plus it seems that zoom doesn't work on the c910 in widescreen settings.

There was a guy with fishy in his username that kept trolling everyone's rooms today. I was watching a few girls before I got on and he hit up like almost every one. I get on and 1 minute later he appears and starts calling me a whore and whatnot. I gave him the finger and blocked him. Just a heads up as he might still be making the rounds.
