i had similar issue .
turn on your stream as your normally would /using the encoder.
turn off all unnecessary programs running .
then check your encoder log
see how many frames your dropping .
i had to change my settings down to the "medium quality settings" as recommended by streamate's encoder help page.
my cam no longer lags or is choppy.
but the quality is a little degraded from hd but still clear.

Quick question, is there a way to get put in more categories?
Like how do I get placed in the BBW category?

I can not get a good placement on SM.. I try the encoder and was told my machine is not up to it (Its a brand new laptop), My Internet is fab.. it lags bad then kicks me off.. Streamate is driving me insane at the moment... I can not suss it out!!!

some of it has to do with ur body type and fetishes u opt into doing ie smoking stockings anal etc. u can put urself into BBW by editing ur body type in ur profile some of it has to do with ur unchangeable personal info .
Fuck you encoder! Fuck you! Now I'm trying to work from HD hell because you want to fuck up. I hate you. ( end rant)

My encoder was fucked too. It was not even opening. I tried too many things and nothing worked . I was using the 3.1 and I decided to download the 3.2 again ( I used it before ) but I delete it and then every time that I wanted to download from the SM's link it said that a file for MACs was needed, I downloaded it from Adobe site and it's working perfectly. I also switched to Firefox.You can try it Mare.

Mine was apparently freezing and showed me as heavily pixilated from my end. Word of advice, if you ladies are streaming on wifi, get an ethernet chord to reach into your office from your modem. I got a 50ft one at walmart the other day and everything seems a lot faster. I'm going to stream today and see if my encoder acts right. If not, it's defo a SM thing because I'm all updated with adobe.

either my computer is PMSing or it seems to be an overall glitch day on SM this morning i had a few guys take me pvt in the first hour i was on and they were all short shows so either the feed was being super laggy to the point they were seeing me in free chat still or the cam was acting up because i had one guy come back and take me back into pvt but he said it was fine after that second time so we had a real show the second go but i just spent my first hour in my second shift in free chat aside from one pvt my room was pretty much a revolving door aside from that one pvt and now im discouraged and cranky so im done for the day .
edit --- after reading kays post she posted while i was typing this - its affirmed for me it is a glitch day .
Thanks guys. I too just gave up. I was using my ethernet directly wired in. Had to be streamate. I'm totally frustrated with the lack of reliability on sm. Last week I did so well. Sucks too b/c I just laid out a crapload of $$$ on a vet bill. Fuck me. And Kourtney- I love your cat gif!!!!!

I'd recommend checking out other girls / their tv show countdowns and goals assigned to them before you make that decision. Also opting in is something that you can do and they can decide on their own. If you were to do a few and didn't make the goal a number of times they would just stop giving you the requests so no harm done aside from maybe getting the option.
I think that you girls are being a bit negative on yourselves. Giving them the option of giving them to you and the option of making for sure money even once or twice only / having the exposure of them seems more worth it than to think that there's no way that you'll ever get one or make the goal. Doesn't hurt to try!
How do we opt in?

Don't forget to disable the radio if you aren't using it, otherwise it's just harmful emissions for no reason.

I've looked on my customer account on my tablet and phone...and no, no profile is visible. That's just the way it's set up. All you see is the camera stream and chat with the topic at the bottom of the chat. Very frustrating that it is designed that way.

Yup, they can't see our profiles on mobile (android or apple). I downloaded the app and checked it a while ago. It really sucks, and I know I went off on a few people when I shouldn't have because of it. :(

That happened to me too. I didn't log on for like 1-2 months. Then when I did log on a regular rated me a 5 and my rating went down to a 4.5. If you aren't logged on for a while (I think the ratings reset at 90days) your rating will go down even if you're rated a 5. You have to basically work yourself back up to 5 stars. I don't take off as long now, I try an work as often as possible.

So if they cant see profile info on mobile devices i assume they cant see attributes, sizes, pics, willingness and all that infoes we have there for them to read, no wonder they ask questions that could be answered if they would just scroll down to read, they just dont have the info available. Hmmm, wow, good to know at least, not happy about it tho.
By the way SM is soo bad for me lately, i mean really bad, no traffic, no pvt's, nothing moves. It is just me??!!

^ It's not just you. :(
IIRC the mobile pages used to be better. I remember when I started last spring I'd check my profile on my phone and there was some limited information, then around a couple months ago they overhauled everything. GDI Streamate, quit it with the "improvements" already.

its definitely not you .. for second there i thought it was me bc i took like a year break .. girls in my category are only averaging about 20 guys in there room on average and thats being nice .. even some of top performers that usually make goldshows before timer are restarting time and time again . .traffic is definitely at a low.. it sucks for me bc streamate was my fav site to cam on .. mr . dependable .
im spending time online more than i usually would. and milking every guy that goes exclusive with me dry. . somebody has to makeup for the lost in privates ..

if the guys taking you private for assworship are staying in there long then id say dont worry about the guys coming in and out. bc your still racking up coins.
if the guys taking you private for assworship and are staying in for only a few minutes and your getting request from the other guys .. id say freestyle it and take there requests.
i prefer to do any and all fetish type shows minor or not all in exclusive. now if they decide to go private and its something minor .. and guy comes in and stays longer than thirty seconds ill take his request.. it try to get them to stay at least 1 minute . bc it adds up.. original guy $$ .. and pop in guys $$ .. easy way to make hourly goal :)

Must have been karma today for me to see this post because this is exactly the type of issue I logged in for to see how some of you others are handling it.
I find it very difficult to keep reminding these guys that PVT is not the same as EXCLUSIVE 1on1. Even if you do PVT for 1.99 or 2.99 (I charge 4.99 -5.99 for PVT), just like in a GOLD show, there is always one guy with a big mouth who is trying to run the show even if he isn't the first one in the room. So I run PVT "1st in, 1st served" and I made a saved message that I'll click on (if I can) that greets the latecomers and let's them know that someone arrived before them and that they can stay and enjoy the show, wait a turn, or come back later. Better yet, pick EXCLUSIVE and you won't have to worry about trying to get me all to yourself!
I keep the requests to minor fetishes like foot and ass worship. You never know what will keep another viewer in the room..heck, some have come in while I was playing with my pussy and left but I"ll do a foot show and sometimes have a 2-3 people in there..Maybe they want to see something a bit different?

Regarding those little 'SH.TS" that think they are so entitled,and just pop into premium and ask for specific things~ It's been happening quite a bit lately. My rates are double for exclusive, because as we all know, it clears out the room, and when you get back from the exclusive, you have to draw in the traffic again.
The guys I'm referring to are repeat custies that know they must go exclusive! I had 2 irate guys in the past 2 days. Sorry dude number 1, I can't be Your stepmom, and have You breed, and impregnate me, while others are coming in here. He says he's not happy and rates a 3. Last night a horrible repeat custie who always presses me to meet, wants me to take a huge black dick while in prvt, telling me to hurry up,and that he has to go. I try to tell him that that is an exclusive, and he knows it, so he pops out, and spends the next 10 minutes screaming at me, saying how he's so mad,and that I just lost a 'fan', and he now expects me to make a custom video to send to him! WTF!! I log out, and put him on my block list.
I understand if new guys don't understand the concept of exclusive, but these repeat custies are just getting too spoiled for my taste.

I had a bit of a situation today!
I was doing a goldshow countdown, hit goal, pressed start... I went into the goldshow but nobody was able to follow me in! They were in freechat wondering what was going on! So I cancelled the show so that they would get their money back.
I restarted the timer hoping all would go well and asked them to repledge, which they did. This time when we hit goal and went in, it was ok!
However, they were charged for both! I've just emailed support. Grr. Stressful!

I actually NEVER get naked unless the guy tells me to. I will ask them, would you like me to strip for you? If they say nothing I then just talk about wanting to know what really turns them on. Most shows I can make it to the 2 minute mark without ever taking my clothes off and I still get 5 star ratings.
