Just sent this to Streamate:


"Hi you wonderful people at SM,

I've been having problems with GOLD show countdowns for the past few weeks and have noticed many, many other Streamate models have been getting the same problem.

GOLD shows tend to freeze the last moment (as / before the show begins). The very stressful and frustrating thing for both the performer and her viewers, is that this tends to be most common when the target has been surpassed, and many many people in the room are tipping.

From the perspective of the performer, speaking for myself, it freezes up entirely and I do not know whether (to my audience) I am in the GOLD show or not (thus I don't know whether to begin or not).

It freezes up and then cancels, leaving the model stuck with a room full of disappointed or angry clients who think it was her fault, or that she cancelled.

Tonight this happened to me even though I had reached my target and have just seen this very same thing happen to another girl. Her room had almost 200 tipping clients, she surpassed her goal, and then it froze and cancelled itself.

I love GOLD shows and I love Streamate. It has been sad to see these glitches occurring so frequently of late. I dearly hope it can be rectified so everyone can go back to making great money and enjoying themselves.

Many thanks Streamate! <3 "


It has gone far enough. This needs to be sorted out.

The response:

"Try turning off your user alerts and clicking the degrade quality bullet on the encoder. What processor and OS are you running? When this happens, what is your CPU usage percentage? Go to http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/, choose 'Seattle' and let me know what the upload speed is. Try turning off your user alerts and clicking the degrade quality bullet on the encoder."

So essentially what they're saying is it's our fault... :( I don't even know what user alerts are? I can so no mention of user alerts on the encoder? If anyone else can, I'd be grateful if you could let me know.

Incantatious
08-15-2012, 08:55 PM
I think it's fair to say that things weren't always like this for GOLD shows? Have no idea.. Am I right?

If I am, then I am thinking it's Streamate stepping up their quality conditions, putting more strain on us performers to keep up with additional requirements like speed, but many of us not being able to keep up.

Also... check this shiz! I just compared the Alexa rankings.

To me, this clearly suggests that Streamate's fashion of putting pressure on their models to have the best of the best internet speed etc is NOT synonymous with success. Like - at all. MFC put next to no pressure on their models to have the highest quality, and they are not only maintaining their rep as one of (if not, the) best camsite out there, but they are PWNING Streamate to such an extent, that comparing the two sites forms a CROSS!

Does anything know what is going on with the account approvals on SM?
I signed up with SM over a month ago. According to my account information all documents and profile information were approved within days but the biopic was rejected. I uploaded a new biopic immediately and ever since I receive the same automatic reply from SM when I ask them (politely) when the new biopic will be approved so that I can start working with them:

"Thank you for your message,
We are working on approvals - we are a bit delayed but are steadily opening accounts. Please be sure documents, profiles and bio pictures are all uploaded properly.
We are approving accounts in order from the date they were created. Please remain patient and we will review and approve all accounts soon.
Thank you."

Is a +1 month delay for approvals normal with SM? Thank you in advance for your help!

Actually. I think what they're trying to say (without taking the blame hence the encoder advice as well) is that their user alerts are fucking shit up.

I do tons of gold shows. 80% of the time a user will buy in during the show, they will show user has pledged x gold, and you won't hear the sound for minutes. Users log out with no text or sound indication.

I really truly think SM is trying to tell us that their user alerts are causing issues.


(To turn off user alerts go to the little bell icon on your streaming page)

It's not about sound alerts, is about User alerts where yes, it says "user entered - user left" in chat room, there u change them in Settings tab. Guess these interfere somehow with how system works if they said so. I disabled them since ages cause they just fill up my chat and do nothing good actually. (for the pics to be seen u have to click on them, is working for me lol)

Ok, for some reason I'm showing up on page 7 in UK with HD placement, when I'm normally top 8 rows :S And over here we have 20 rows per page instead of 10. I'm kinda furious right now

Incantatious
08-23-2012, 06:52 PM
My placement was fucked up tonight too, and I had significantly more freeloaders, 30-second-idiots, trolls and abandoned GOLD show countdowns than EVER before...
It may have been down to guys sensing my underlying stress levels which I tried so hard to disguise, but after seeing how many other performers getting crappy traffic tonight too, I am starting to wonder if this is at all related to the implementation of this new TV feature... those two things seem correlated somehow. It's never been this bad for me before.

Have they launched TV yet? I thought it didn't star yet. My room was ok, I get tired of guys who sit there and not say a word. It's creepy.

Hi all!

My husband I are new models on Streamate. I has a few questions and would appreciate anyone that has the answers. Was wondering what the hearts are and were do you see any customer comments on the dashboard? Also, tried to use the encoder, but found it hard to have both windows open and if you minimize it, you cant see yourself. Does anyone have a fix for that? Thanks!

GracieBlue
08-26-2012, 03:40 PM
Hearts are how many people made you a favorite. To see yourself on cam you have to fiddle with your screen sizes. On the encoder make the input 50% and move it to the left side and then fit the SM page on there to. I hope that makes sense! As for comments, I just go to my cammodels link to see. Hope this helps!

The hearts are how many guys have added you to your favorites. The comments from guys will show up in their profile under sessions, but they take a while to show up. You can also check your cammodels link when not logged in and view the comments section.

As for working with the encoder you can adjust it off to the side so the audio and picture line up on the left side of the screen and then have your streaming page adjusted to fit next to it and you'll be able to see everything you need even on a 15 inch screen.

Oops I didn't see Gracie had replied to you already.

Thank you for your response too:) I think I might be having issues with having both windows open due to using laptop. The screen may not be big enough. Now to find the thread again that has the weird customer request. There are some reals freaks out there...lol

Incantatious
08-26-2012, 04:22 PM
Your screen should be big enough. :) It's just a matter of how much you drag and drop the sides of the windows of your encoder and browser to snugly overlap one another... Mine looks like this.


31512

...With my browser over-lapping the encoders window.

Also, as you can see above the streaming window, it's at 50%, which decreases the stream size (to ME - not to my viewers - to my viewers my streaming screen is still encoder-embiggened, lol), which enables me to see all of myself at the same time as chatting.

No idea! I just go on when I can!



Thank you for the quick reply. That definitely answered my questions. Would you happen to know what are the best and worst days and time of day to cam? Thanks again for the help!

Oh bb you have such nice big areolas. How many inches? ;)


Your screen should be big enough. :) It's just a matter of how much you drag and drop the sides of the windows of your encoder and browser to snugly overlap one another... Mine looks like this.

This SM model just told guys in her room that cam girls only pretend to be sending them wet panties, because "cam girls aren't crazy enough to leave DNA on panties" and then mail them...lmao. She said that cam girls who sell panties buy TWO identical pairs, keeps one pair for herself, and sends the other pair out after just spraying them with perfume. LMAO!

I don't know about everybody else, but in the past when I've mailed out panties I really did wear them and got them nice and wet. I didn't pretend at all. I think this chick was just talking out of her ass.....

I think the word you were looking for is "boob job" :P

But boob jobs cost money!! Money I could spend on other things - like goldfish and guitars! Why have a boob job when I just simply imagine that I have J cups already? ;D You see my way of thinking? .....Ahhhhh!!! :3

Note: By now, I am hideously sleep-deprived. :P

Fuck, first time back on SM in almost a year ... yesterday was just fine, better than I expected. Tonight, it wouldn't show the HD icon next to my name at all even though I was using the encoder. Anyone else experiencing this problem tonight or was it just me? ... frustrating.
