Thanks! I totally know what you mean. That is what I used to before they made us stream in wide. I guess my concern is that my placement will be bad if I am not exactly like they want it. SM, that is. I think I got my set up from Incantatious.

Your input and output preview window settings in your encoder won't affect anything except for what you see. It's just a preview for you to use or not–it doesn't have any bearing on what is actually streamed.

Ok I have input and output checked at 50% with the f***ing wide load settings so I can see my chat and myself when I am camming. I hope that is not affecting placement etc. How are you guys seeing yourself? If I have just output checked at 75% it takes up my whole page! Hope all you bbs are making $$$$!

You should only have ONE of those checked - so you only see one "box" with yourself in it.

Personally, I keep my screen carefully arranged so that I can see everything I need. On the right hand side, I have the encoder, with part of it of the side of the screen so that I just see my little output box. Below that, (and covering part of that annoying border around the output) is my logitech control panel, tucked in the corner. On the left is my browser, where I keep SM open, and flip through other tabs if I need to. Bottom left, I have a second window open with arousr, mostly off the bottom of the screen - just enough shows so that I can see when a tab turns red and I need to deal with it.

Window tetris!!

I get what you're saying but the new settings make the encoder pic huge! It is hard to see everything, I like to have it all there so I can see whats going on in my room and in the encoder. Personally, I hate switching back and forth between things in different windows. But I guess, I may have to just adjust. Thanks!

Brief need to rant about widescreen.

I finally changed my settings, which wasn't really that hard...but then found that I can't use ManyCam to watermark with the new settings. PISSED.

After working it for a while, I hate it. Really, it is ridiculous. Not only does it now take in basically the entire length of my bed (so much for having a messy pile o stuff on one side) but it is so narrow that it is almost impossible to be nice and close to the cam, but have both my boobs and the top of my head in the shot. On top of which, I do a thing where I hold up my longest dildo and compare it to the length of my forearm. Now, it cuts off the end....so it doesn't look as impressive!!! GAAAAAH.

Thanks for listening. I'm good now... LOL

Ok here is what I got from support on the input/output dilemna.

Here is what I said:

I have all the new settings in place for wide screen. I did check input and output at 50% so I can fit my chat window and see myself when I cam.Is this ok?

Here is what SM said:

Sure. Shouldn't be a problem.

I was having problems last night. Well, not sure if it was me or Streamates wonderful technical difficulties. Customers coming in and almost immediately leaving or saying "hi" then leaving before I have a chance to respond. Sat there like that for 20 min. Decided to shut everything down and restart. Then I sat there for almost 10 min with no one in my room. I'm usually in the middle of the first page so I've never had that problem. Checked my placement and I was in the middle of the 2nd page. I decided to try out the medium setting for the encoder to see if it would boost my placement. Instead it took away my HD and pushed me back 6 pages! Tried the lower setting and same thing. I wanted to try the old non-widescreen setting but I couldn't remember what they were. I just got them from someone's signature on here (sorry, can't remember who but Thanks!) going to try that out tonight. I sit with the camera on my waist up and it's so hard to fit my boobs and head in the window at the same time. I'm constantly getting, "can we see your face" and then when I show my face someone else chimes in "can I see your body" it's getting frustrating. Must have just been Streamate having trouble last night though cuz I logged on this morning and I was back in the middle of page 1.

I told y'all there would be more! Ok so I e-mailed back just to clarify..

Here's what I said in response:

Ok thank you. Will this affect my placement by having input and output checked at 50%? My stream looks the same if I dont have them checked or if I do. Is placement wonky right now with all the changes or has it stabilzed?


Thanks again

Here is what SM said:

Send us a screenshot of your settings, please.

So I sent screenshots of my settings and here is what I got back:

I see what you mean now. I don't see any issue with this.

I'm really, really, REALLY glad I managed to make payout, because it felt like pulling teeth. Never been so hard. I have almost no traffic at all; a few hours ago it was better (worked my ass off today for these $103. Probably 8 hours overall), but during the last two hours I'm getting something like 1 person entering my room every 60 seconds, sometimes not even that. Finally decided to call it a day.

So I've had people coming into my room and then abruptly leaving A LOT lately. I wasn't sure if they were just being rude fucks or if it was SM, but last night it kept happening to a regular and I know he wouldn't do that so I asked him and he told me it was the site and he kept getting kicked out. I feel a little better now, sometimes I'm like 'Do I look hideous today or something?' lol. Still annoying as Hell though!

I agree with you on this one, I had a new guest today give me a 3 star rating and I know it was because he insisted on me putting 2 dildos in even when I replied that im real tight etc. I just make a note and if they ever come back which im sure they won't I will just block them.

I'm not a big girl at all, but because I'm thin and have a big ass, I also can do the smaller toy rub it into my ass and make it look like penetration trick. It works too I never had anyone say a thing about faking cause I make it look like I'm really trying to shove it in. I really just laugh inside like haha I'm totally tricking you.

Totally not true - I do it on occasion when I am sore! It is all about the angles and positions...and only works if they don't request specific positions, obviously!

Im not sure how im making any money today.Thats how bad ive been getting kicked off and freezing.I never used to have encoder problems, now its like everyday is a different problem .It dont matter if im using the old setting ,new setting ,medium setting ,low setting .IT STILL FREEZES UP.The switching of all these setting is also fucking with my placement.Damn ,i done tried everything, im all out of ideas.I guess all i can do is after every private just sign off and back on .Thats the only thing thats been working for me so far
:( I also have a bitch who has in her profile description that shes better than bigbootyjudy .I'm going to keep calm and not go curse that bitch out and send all my regulars to spam her ass.She better be lucky im not that petty.Damn, i guess i must be that good for bitches to be mentioning me in their profile description.Sorry i dont know if im venting or piss ass hell.Let me call down and finish making my daily goal and chillax for the rest of the freaking day before i lose my mind.

Pay her dust! Take it as a compliment that she must be so impressed with you to even mention your name in her profile description! There are too many growls in this world. Be an Eagle and rise above it, BB!

So I finally found a video of me during an Exclusive session uploaded on a blog (I completely remember that session lol). They mention my name in the title, but my body looks really gross so I want the video taken down lol. Unfortunately, there's no contact email for the owner!!

^ LOL, that's exactly what went through my mind upon reading this post.
I google my cam name a lot, hoping something might pop up. I sometimes even search for terms like "Israeli camgirl masturbating", hoping I might find something and could comment on the video providing a link to my page.
It's yet to happen, though. :detective

Yes. And that chick gets an "A" for shooting herself in the foot. Free publicity for you. I have to admit, I'd be pissed, but she's dim-witted and won't last long, probably.

What is it with SM and the drama queens?

Plus, smh when they constantly fiddle with tech stuff, then refuse to offer the adequate level of resources to fix the inevitable problems. I know IT staff costs $, but geez....

WTF...is this high school?! What a jealous, rude little bitch. I'm sorry that some cam girls are so damn catty...

I thought I had read somewhere (on here maybe?) that SM isn't putting up with models trolling other models anymore. I wonder...if you sent them a screenshot of the model running her mouth about you in her profile, would they do anything?

Maybe other guys in her room will get curious about who you are, and then they'll come check you out on cam and become HOOKED on how awesome you are. :)

I think it's worst after high school! I swear to God that the older a lot of girls get, the more catty, passive-aggressive they become!

My encoder was working really good for the WS thing..now...nothing but problems for the past 4 days or so: getting kicked off, typing but it's not showing up in the chat window or one minute my room says I'm only available for PRIVATE then 5 min later the exclusive button reappears. and it keeps happening. Fuck today..I got laid last night and my junk is sore anyhow.

exclusives are not showing up for regulars :(

LAWLZ.
Ever since I started camming me and my bf don't have sex.
Coming from wanting to everyday to being like naw, i'll pass.
It's fucking weird.
But I honestly just have no interest.
That and now my sleeping hours are weird.

Anywho, so encoder are their different settings I could try?

well, SM wants us to use the newer settings, the "recommended"

I hear so many different stories from cammers
I use recommended

Some models have better luck with medium

and some say
"fuck you sm" and use the old ones bc the new ones are not getting along w everyone

How do u like that answer ;) We are just cammers walking around with a knife in the dark right now, very dangerous

ok. I have a techy question. I have no idea how to screen shot so I can't set that up for ya. Using the encoder and the new C920. I'm pretty sure I'm using the new settings. I notice my stream keeps getting a black screen every few seconds. It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes won't stop. The guys said they don't see it. So then I notice my bitrate on my encoder is what is doing it. It keeps "adjusting." Any ideas? My bitrate is set for the 56. Goes all the way up to 800.
Other than that things on SM have been business as usual.
Thanks for any ideas.
