so wait -- am I supposed to tweak the encoder from the original recommended settings? I keep thinking I could/should look better on stream, it seems to be broadcasting in a very low resolution despite using the recommended settings as downloaded from SM... should I start messing with it?

very weird I was at cheaper rates with loads of traffic logged off and raised them back up and deadsville is it just me or does this happen when u raise?
My rates are not that high they are more than the standards I have seen but I just wanted more money and less work and it will even out I guess but that coupled with the fact I am on page two :( I am scared now I do not want to lower again i did 3 shows the other day when normally it takes ten or 15 to get that much money .

Had a good night on there. Only odd thing is my rating went down to 4.5 stars even tho I have all high ratings for the last 90 days. Sent CS a message asking them to fix it.

Are we supposed to change Encoder settings again?

Anyone wonder if the solar storm is causing all the disconnects? I'm getting alot of them. And it's not the site. I'm having to keep reconnecting my internet.

Hmm that's interesting... my internet has been dropping a lot lately too. I assumed it was the fact that I live in the middle of no where now lol but maybe it's something else...

For the past 2 weeks my fps on the encoder has been 9-12 and it is usually 28-33. So I lowered from the 'recommended settings'. On my rankings it says 99fps. Da fuq? I now have it set to "lower than recommended settings" that SM gives us. My stream has been crap. So freaking confusing. I have a wired internet connection and haven't changed anything on my comp what gives sm

euaici
09-13-2014, 12:47 PM
Yeah, today I was having 57 fps and a roundtrip time of 0 (lol...I was probably hooked directly on the SM server, in the server room...even if I am in Europe). And that happened exactly after SM support told me I absolutely can't use the encoder, because I don't have an I7. nevermind that my processor is at 25% percent if I'm only on SM....

AliceFun
09-13-2014, 01:51 PM
^^^ You know why they soo fixed on i7? Because they only tested things with i7, believe me that is the answer i got from them (not the usual customer support). I asked "yeah okay but will work with an i5 as well, right"? Answer: "dont know, we tested it with i7". I was baffled, come on, i had an AMD before buying my i5 2 years ago & was working just fine. The i7 thing is just very stupid in my eyes but who knows, maybe i dont know or understand enough here, they might set things up so the stream has to match exactly an i7 configuration regardless of how much the processor usage is, not sure man, is it technically possible? euaici, it must be ur internet cause here everything is just fine ;).

I used to use the encoder on an i3 and it worked fine. I couldn't split cam, but the encoder with SM alone worked just fine. I think there are many factors for the encoder running smoothly, not just the processor of your computer.

EternalRose
09-13-2014, 03:13 PM
yeah I used to run the encoder just fine on a dual core up until like a year and a half ago, never had a problem, it was before the "recommended widescreen bs" but still i was on page 1 and all that jazz. I currently use an i5 and honestly my placement and all that has never changed much from when i was using my dual core, consistent scheduled working helped but my equipment hasn't made much of a difference, which sucks imo cause i ocd obsess over equipment (lights, cam, comp, etc) xD So I dunno what the i7 love SM has is all about... >.> i still want an i7 tho more for video editing than streaming ^^;

Well, the issue was that I tested the internet with the speedtest they recommended, and my upload speed was around 50 mb...if that's not enough...hm...

Plus, the encoder was working great on KL, LJ was working very well...only the SM version of the encoder had an issue

But yeah, I think you are probably very right, they only tested it for I7 and that's all they can speak about

It used to not really matter much if you took a big chunk of time off your placement wouldn't really move. But now they are factoring that into placement more so lately when I take a week off it usually drops my placement quite a bit. But when you get back on and work a week consistently and earn your usual amounts, it will go right back up. But it will take another week to go up, usually. Don't fret about it too much, with how high you are already placed, it shouldn't have a big impact.

Support will automatically raise the amount you can charge periodically, but I'm not sure what they base it on. You can always email them and ask for it to be raised. That's what I, and others, did before they started doing it automatically.

I asked to be able to go to $9.99, and then later they automatically raised me to $14.99, but I know others can go to $19.99 so it's really a mystery as to what they take into consideration when raising it.

I noticed this too. I'll take a few days to a week off and my placement drops but then it goes right back to normal after I consistently work a week.

Yep that's exactly what it means. I think the average limit is $100 but guys can have it raised by contacting support. Once customers hit their limit they can't spend anymore until the next day/24 hrs.

I post in here cause i cam mainly on SM but my question applies to any other free chat platform: i like the picture & message kortney has above, i have a dilemma regarding smiling or keeping a resting face on cam.

I am used from cam work and other jobs in direct sales to smile all the time, it became an automatic smile, is a real smile and not fake but... can get tiring after a while, i mean my jaw/ cheeks start to hurt. I like to smile because is a nice welcome to people entering my room but it could be also interpreted or i least i fear it could be seen like 'she smiles like a retard for no reason' or similar. LOL

On the other hand 'the bitchy face' could be interpreted like 'oh i dont like this girl, she has a bitchy face', i mention i dont do domme stuff, my cam persona is 'nice happy lady looking to please', i do fashion fetishes and vanilla play, sometimes foot slaves but rarely of these lately.

So, the decision to smile/ not smile should be taken considering what type of show u offer/ ur cam persona type of camgirl or just consider being urself/ natural, what guys like more, smiling girls or 'bitchy faces'? I think this is also connected to the cam site u work on. or not?
Thoughts?

Has anyone had any of their customers tell them they gold button is missing? I haven't been receiving as many gold tips lately and someone told me he couldn't see the gold button. He actually had to get off his computer and use his ipad to give me gold.

any of you ladies having problems clicking on customer notes? When I click them half the time they don't open. Also if I copy and paste something that I've typed it freezes up everything and I have restart my laptop. Ugg so annoying

Not those exact problems, but clicking on customer notes or recent earnings equals waiting a small eternity for things to load. I write notes on every show I do for future reference and not having them load for 15-20 seconds is obnoxious as hell.

Yes I've always had problems with the customer notes. Is there a way they can chose to hide their profile from us and that could be the reason?

Yep that's exactly what it means. I think the average limit is $100 but guys can have it raised by contacting support. Once customers hit their limit they can't spend anymore until the next day/24 hrs.

Bloody hell. Surely it's in SM interest to get as much money as possible from boys and not cap it at a certain amount?

So apparently you can't use the word "humiliation" on your profile on SM. They sent me an email after I tried to add it into my show description. Wtf?! Too many stupid rules while some girls get away with everything :(

I was having issues yesterday (338-503 kbps when I usually get 700-900 and my usual 31 fps were down to 15) , but my camera (920c) needed an update and I (well my SO) also went ahead and downloaded the 3.2 version of the HD encoder, that seemed to have done the trick.

That's been happening to me as well, in some cases the notes were totally gone. So I look like the asshole who can't remember their name or what they like.

They make an offer based on your previous TV gold shows. So they are offering $70 because they are saying that in the other TV shows you have done, you only reached $70 on average.

This is why i ask,Also i asked Liz,because i did some for 200 golds and now i did average of 110-150 never 70...... This is that is strange
