they may need to update their payment method or card. anytime someone tells me, I tell them to contact support if their payment option is up to date. They have a 24/7 chat support. Also mention they can call a number during their business hours.

we have no control over anything technical or account related. if they really want to jerk off to you, they will go through all that crap to fix their account or get the glitch fixed. sometimes, they need to be directed to CS.

I find that the 3.2 Encoder works best with Windows 8 and the 3.1 works best with Windows 7. If you do vice versa, all hell breaks loose.

How are you getting 3.2 to work? Mine does nothing but freeze and crash everytime I've tried. I can't even change settings on it. 3.1 is the only one that's worked for me.

I have 2 machines. The Windows 7 one uses 3.1 and the other is Windows 8 and it uses 3.2. I did not update to 8.1. I've heard that 8.1 is a nightmare for streaming. I believe this is the issue that most of you are having with the encoder...Windows 8.1.

Has anyone ever had this issue that I'm currently having? My internet was messing up and being stupid slow last Thursday, so of course my bitrate and fps were extremely low on "My Ranking" page. I tried not using the encoder and just streaming in HD to see if my slow upload speed would still let me stream without the encoder. It didn't, so I quit for the day. When I went back on Friday when my internet speeds were back to normal and used the encoder, "My Ranking" page wouldn't update that I was back to using the encoder and that my fps/bitrate were high again. It also shows me without using sound or HD. I streamed again without the encoder and was able to get my stats back up on "My Ranking" page to show them all as "Excellent" but it still shows "No" beside using audio. When I use the encoder the fps/bitrate won't update once again. Everything is stuck at what I got when I wasn't using the encoder. It's still saying I'm not using audio, and I imagine it's registering as me not using the encoder when I clearly have been for hours. My placement has dropped back a page because of this. I've emailed support and been back and forth with them...they said they would forward my issue to the correct department...but I dont have much faith in that. I'm hardly making any $$ like this. I don't know what to do at this point. This is so frustrating!!

Your upload and download speed is pretty low. I can't even stream without freezing if my internet upload drops that low. Upgrading would be a good idea.

um no. my internet has been the same for over a year. streamate even POSTS that. This is a new issue with the GUYS not being able to see my shows during a goldshow. I'm not getting kicked from the server....I'm losing goldshows.... Guys are paying for them and they can't see them after they do. When we start the gs....people aren't moving into the paid section...they stay in the free section.

sm did 'something' some update....some bs.....and doesn't want to admit it.

I've been working for them for 2 years with the same internet speed.....Never had a problem...

I've cammed through my pregnancy making more money than i am now. I've done HUNDREDS of tv shows....never had an issue....holding HUNDREDS of guys in my room. I am NOT the issue here.39430

You don't need to get defensive. I'm just saying that with all of the upgrades they've done on the site and many more guys are now viewing via mobile, it wouldn't hurt to upgrade your speeds. Those speeds won't work for me using the recommended encoder settings so they could be causing problems for you. But whatever, seems youre sure that it couldn't possibly be you...so just keep doing what you're doing.

ETA: Also, what worked 2 years ago isn't necessarily going to be good enough now or in the future. Technology changes and that's why we need upgrades. Just sayin.

HD is not showing up in my thumbnail and thus my placement has tanked! *cries* is this a glitch? the stream looks 'ok' online. Not great.

tis been a long, difficult day here. The worst is not knowing if it's just glitchy or if I could be earning money if I fiddled the encoder just right. BAH.

my ranking is also being a little bitch and my speedtest is the same as usual:

10-27-2014, 03:02 PM
i deal wit rtt problem:/ its always so low. i dont know aboutbitrate. i always stream on 1000kbps, but mine is only about 600 hell knows why. by my encoder numbers average is always about 980-960. fps are always 30.0.

btw, is it a way to remove 1 star? i have 2 one star ratings now. they annoys me. and the one i got yesterday for nothing.... i made deal with that guy that if i will slap mah face for 10 minutes hard, he will rate me back 5 stars. i did. but then that fucker interupted other show and again gave me 1 star just because i didnt hurt myself!.... daaaaaamn, i hate those creepos.

I understand. I'm going through the same thing with support right now. See my post above #14955. It's so frustrating needing help from them and you just get the run around. The last issue I had NEVER got resolved...so I'm very nervous. I do hope you get your issue resolved soon. Best of luck to both of us lol.

Have you try to uninstall and reinstall the Encoder? That may help. Whenever I have an issue, that's the first thing I do.

It's def NOT YOU or your speeds. I have .75 upload LOLZ (10 download) and I use the encoder on the highest recommended settings just fine....

The only thing I miss about living in the city is FIOS. *cries*

But yah... I get tons of traffic... never have an issue, especially like you are describing. That is definitely on their end...

I can attest to the same thing as Sarah. I live in BFE and/or Middle Earth where the best internet speeds I could manage are like 4 up/1 down (yes, pitiful, I know) without switching to another company that has outages once or twice a week that last for the entire day. My stream is clean and I was on page 1-2 of SM last I checked (months ago). Guys have never complained about quality and I self-check my feed, use the Encoder at high quality, etc. If guys are reporting audio/feed issues, it seems to be on SM's end.

And with that happy note, I'm getting ready to get online! Yay!

My stream froze on me in the middle of a pvt, its been doing it to me all night. The guy was so sweet and waited for me to reconnect and took me back in for a total of 20mins. I felt so bad, fucking things really pissing me off >.<
I just want to yell obscenities and eat a chocolate!

How helpful is writing out a schedule and sticking to it in terms of getting shows? Do guys check that thing?

Some guys check it but I think many don't. They just expect you to be there consistently. This is where I go wrong. I'm very good about filling my schedule in, but less good about following through! It's less about posting a schedule, and more about keeping one.

Go to your my blocked section and make sure he got blocked. I have had to go back and check off the blocked box and scroll to the bottom of the screen to save it. Sometimes it just blocks them from mailing you. Also now before I block guys I put a note on them on the notes section so I know why I did it. Plus if they should make it back through with the same account I will know. I have never had that happen though.

It's def NOT YOU or your speeds. I have .75 upload LOLZ (10 download) and I use the encoder on the highest recommended settings just fine....

The only thing I miss about living in the city is FIOS. *cries*

But yah... I get tons of traffic... never have an issue, especially like you are describing. That is definitely on their end...


Damn, I wish I knew how you ladies did it. Whenever my speeds drop from to 1 or even 2mbps my feed gets choppy and freezes. I wish I knew why. If I could stream with those speeds I wouldn't have to stop working so often while my ISP decides to be a jerk. Maybe because it's just unstable when it's having issues and that's why? Ugh. I really hate Comcast.

Round 4 with customer support...still not understanding what my REAL issue is. Do they just not bother reading what we write about the issue we are having? It's like that take key words and assume that it's something we're doing wrong. It's like talking a foreign language. That's okay, because I'm not going away until they get my shit sorted out and fixed.

While trying to make sense of the encoder, I found two articles that I will put to test today. One talks about the best resolution settings for the flash movie --:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/apps/video_sizes.html

The other is a bitrate calculator, but I don't know how or if it would apply to working on SM. By that calculator my bitrate should be around 1350 in order to broadcast smoothly with a resolution of 768 x 432. Here's the calculator:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/apps/flv_bitrate_calculator.html


can anyone look them over and see if they make sense or if it applies to the way we work, because this could be a really big help!

Yeah, I saw a girl in freechat earlier wearing dental floss. I could see tits, labia, clit, and half her asshole. Only thing I couldn't see was her actual pussy hole. :-/
