Yes that was the last ranking i got after logging off. Customers couldnt go private its fucked up. But I sold some videos.
^ That's when you stream (Round trip time). Every time when you log in, that value resets to 0, when you log off you'll see the last value you had. Shows how long it takes from the moment when your information leaves the computer, until it gets in the servers at SM. Basically, shows the delay in your chat room (video/sound). It's a big factor for the position, once it goes over 350-400 you start dropping on the page.
Multiple factors can affect it. Sometimes it's not your computer or the internet, but the node connection where the information goes in.
Edit: You should improve your online hours, they help your position too.
Thank you love, i know how these things work but i cant help it with the round trip, is the best internet i can get for home users, it's the fiber optic up to 25MB upload speed but i guess it travels thru more nods til it reaches SM servers therefore the numbers i get. You guys must have top notch internet at SM studio, fiber optic some huge thing to support all studio girls streaming the same time. Out of curiosity, what is ur round trip euro_princess?
Regarding the hrs, i just wrote above in my post why i cant work more hrs, i am happy to be able to work these & not be totally out of order giving my herniated back disks, i am happy to be able to walk and move around u know.
ETA: i in general have no problems when site is working good, people really see me in real time, maybe 1-2 secs delay but not more, i see myself the same if i check my own feed. Lately since SM is changing things i have problems with people not seeing me at all, they say my window is black :(
This is SM's fault not mine.
By the way, it was you who said SM wanna build some servers here in EU? How accurate this piece of info is? maybe they are doing this right now in order to support expansion to Europe? Pls do tell more if u have info on it, Ty!

Exactly the same issue I've been having for 3 weeks now, and I have very great and reliable internet 150DL and 25UL and a good computer, and my ping from my internet connection is excellent on speed tests.. its something going on with the site and I've been mailing them constantly and getting my clients to send in print screens also (who knows if they actually do). It didn't start happening until they announced that there was going to be new preferred settings for the encoder, so I'm hoping once they implement it site wide (scary this is how it is before that change is even fully implemented, what'll happen once it is???) that it'll eventually sort itself out. Very exhausting and tiring making about 50% less than what I used to based on customers not being able to see my room... but what can you do??

How hard is it to start over on SM? I would like to totally rebrand myself. I haven't used my account in almost a year and the persona just doesn't fit my style of camming any more. Tips or suggestions are welcome!

where are the HD720 file settings?
were they officially released yet?
I know SM announced the new HD720 requirement in July, but WHERE are the settings for it?
The 720 settings will be officially released next week on Streamatehelp.com, and a formal email notification will also be sent to performer inmail inboxes a day or two after they are released. If you would like to try the 720 settings now, email me (Vanessa from Streamate) at modeling @ streamate.com and I will send you the files and instructions. : )
^^^ Very nice to have u here talking to us Vanessa, so SM's representative is reading our posts, i hope u guys also listen to us, that's why i talk about things in here cause i know u guys read :)
"Every action has a reaction" so i act for u to react :)
Much love & make our site work! For all of us to benefit off it, to make money for ourselves and u guys! xxx
Edited to add: by the way, u say we can use the new settings safely now if u give the instructions? Without glitches/ issues? Will they work if we use them? I really wish to make some money this weekend u know, i used different settings in hope one will work but been disconnected 4 times in an hour last night, got tired of trying & logged off frustrated. I'll email you for sure :)

"Will they work if we use them?"
They are "technically" still in beta testing as of now. We have encountered a few quirks with certain cams at this juncture, most notably with the BCC950 in that it at times disallows the fps (frames per second) to go beyond 10. On the flipside, some models who are using the BCC950, however, have not reported any problems. The Logitech C920 seems to work beautifully with the new settings. Successful use of the new 720 settings will be contingent upon your equipment/set-up. Similar to the original HD Encoder settings options, there are 2 settings options as of now to stream in 720: Recommended and Basic. If you are having issues with running the Recommended settings, switch down to the Basic settings.
Re: connection issues:
If you run into or have been experiencing connection issues recently, please be sure to send a report to Model Support (
[email protected]) with the following info:
- date/time frame of when issues occurred
- details of the incident/issues
- type of processor that your computer is running on
- which browser you're using to stream
- whether you are using the HD Encoder
- details of your Internet speed (go to speedtest.net to take a quick speed test)
Although it seems tedious, reporting issues when they occur will help our developers better pin-point potentially widespread problems. I've been given a head's up that our team is currently tracking some issues that may impact live streams in the form of connection issues or Gold Show interruptions: they are actively working on a resolve for this and to eliminate any negative impacts.
I hope this helps.

I've been using/testing the new settings for quite some time now. Vanessa will email you what you need to get started KatM and I have no issues to complain about. My roundtrip goes up and down, but nothing too bad. For me it was just like Vanessa's instructions on youtube for the encoder. Pretty simple if I can do it anyone can do it. LOL I do find a slight lag, that goes away if you stop moving for a second and let the cam focus. haha, which is usually when I'm spread eagle...

I tossed an email over, thanks a bunch!!
Is there anyone in here who can give the new settings in writing & not as a file? Cause i received 2 files i cant use, seriously, the parameters are incorrect, i have more video devices to use with the encoder, not only my logitech camera, when i open the file(s) u sent vanessa it picks other video driver other than my logitech camera and the numbers are wrong, if i select my logitech camera the numbers change again to a wrong input size.
That's what i used when testing things around:
Input/Output 1280x720 with 29.97 fps and 2000 bit rate.
The format i use now is H.264 with Profile: Baseline, Level 3.1, Keyframe frequency 1 second and Encoder version is 3.2, are these the correct parameters or should they be different?
Can someone make a print screen & show the new settings how they look for u in encoder?
Thank you!

Let me look into this. I think it will auto-adjust depending on the cam that you are using. I will try to obtain the actual configurations that you can manually input into your Encoder and get back to you.

Yeah running those settings with my Logitech 930e and iMac while streaming my fps is like 8-11 n my bitrate goes 500-800-400-900 etc 😢😢 looks beautiful, doesn't hog resources but the fps is soooooo low. 👎👎

Update: There are no configurations available at this time that you can manually input. The video "output" size will auto-adjust to what your selected cam can handle, as well as list appropriate options within the "input" size drop-down menu. If you do not see 1080x720 as an option in the video "input" size drop-down menu, select the next closest option that will match the video "output" size that is listed. If there are no options that are even remotely close to 1080x720, you may need to upgrade your cam. I would strongly recommend the Logitech C920, which retails around $75 online. Amazon usually has some pretty good deals: I got one of my C920's for under $65. You can also buy one on ebay, remanufactured, for much cheaper... just be sure to go through a reputable seller that has a reasonable return policy.

Hrm.... So why would my fps and bitrate be like that while streaming? Is it my camera? You wouldn't think the 930e would be much different from the 920c.

Vanessa, are we switching to 1080x720 video or 1280x720? I was under the impression that SM preferred a 4:3 ratio (or 16:9, whichever way one prefers to phrase it), which would require the 1280x720 output option.
Thank you for ur answer Vanessa, let me tell u I DO HAVE THE LOGITECH C920 & i can select the Input & Output size from the drop down menu as 1280x720, i think i will use what i know already, i am puzzled of why the files u sent wont open up correctly, they should auto-adjust but they not. MAYBE BECAUSE I RUN WINDOWS VISTA? Not Vista friendly maybe?
How come there are no manual settings to put in??!! The tech guys should provide these parameters, believe me when i say some people like me will need these parameters cause not all systems are the same, we have different computers, operating systems, video drivers & such, I AM ADVANCED regarding the encoder, i know how to do the settings, i just need the correct settings lol.
There are some parameters i am not sure about & i talk about the Profile ones, what to put in there? I will make a print screen myself if here is nobody willing to help. It irritates me when people come here to show off & tell us how much money they make but when u ask for real help & a print screen nobody actually cares to help.
Yes, i always 'smell' when people have an agenda, they brag & bugger off :(

Opps I gave the wrong info then .I just read it couldnt be used with MAC and I thought that was the case.
I use it on a windows 7 pc ,with a BCC 950 cam ,been on like 3 hours and no issues for me.No trouble setting the encoder and to me output auto adjusted the same as input,1280x780.Before getting on cam I read what you said about getting low fps with BCC950 ,not the case yet and I hope it will stay the same .I have someone monitoring my video all the time ,were no glitches at customer end since I set encoder with the settings you sent but also no difference in video quality,maybe because I stream for a few months already in 1280x780 with 2000 bitrate.

08-13-2015, 05:19 PM
Ah, well crap.. it doesn't work with my 930E or my 920C.. guess it just doesn't like me. Sucks too, cause it only runs my mac at like 35% usage with these settings where as with the old ones my Mac runs at about 65%. But it still won't give me a decent fps while Streaming with either cam. *sadface*
webcamcutie
08-13-2015, 06:30 PM
Alright heads up to any mac users that have the same issues I did:
I did a little bit of research and figured it out. I installed camtwist to broadcast my camera through the encoder and went into preferences and under 'video devices' I selected my camera and then clicked 'force camera resolution' of 1280x720. I also then went under the general tab in preferences and selected my frame rate as 30 FPS and video size 1280x720.
So now my camera under the encoder is being broadcasted by Camtwist with the same settings as the settings for the 720P and its running smoothly, looks FANTASTIC, can't wait to try it out tonight and see how it does! YAY I'm so stoked! thank you internet research for helping me figure it out... ;D

Look, not trying to be rude here, but people don't always have the time or energy to help out other girls right away, if at all. Also, insulting the women you're asking to help you is definitely not going to encourage them to use their off-camera hours to assist. Plenty of women have tried to give you advice, myself included, and a lot of it seems to get ignored, which means they aren't going to want to do it again on future topics.
In other news, I'm not experiencing any glitches with SM thus far tonight using the parameters Mr. Boleyn sent out in the newsletter and Vanessa has mentioned. Fingers crossed it stays this way, but you have a positive report from me tonight Vanessa! Saturday/Sunday night were filled to the brim with complaints of lag or issues going/staying in private, but not so far today. Woo! Make the money girls!

A useful tip I learnt while living in Thailand is to avoid Ookla based speedtests like speedtest.net and instead use testmy.net which is not flash based and will give a far more honest and useful result...

I really dont know what advice u talking about exactly Isabelle cause i dont remember to say in my posts i dont care about the advice i was given or that i dont appreciate input from people, i really am, just the advice has to apply to my situation too, to be doable, there are things i cant do or dont feel comfy doing, everytime people give advice they should know, even the advice is good in general it has to 'hit home' with the person receiving advice. You dont expect me to do the things other do just because it's working for them and opposite, right?!
Also, i am not insulting people here, i state a fact that some people like to brag about how much money they make but are not willing to share important info that will help others make money too, so what use is for me to know u do great if u not willing to help with a piece of info like a print screen on the new settings for example? It's not about owing me something, is about contribution to this thread/ forum, giving valuable info to fellow models is Contribution, talking about money only is Bragging, this is all.
Do i really sound like a woman who dont know how to dress, put make up on or not able to talk english or has no clue how to use the computer or sites or what, i dont get it? Well, we all deal with particular issues, we are in different places in this world, we try to have success & make money on cam, we are not perfect, we are not machines, we are humans. Some of us happen to have more issues than others unfortunately.
ETA: plus i always help people if i can giving valuable info they can work with, i dont want anything in exchange but a "thank u, this is/was helping me", then i am all happy for people being able to make money or sort things out because the info i give. I always post the info without even thinking the models i give info to are in fact my competition, cause we really are in competition BUT I DONT CARE, what is important to me is to know that person can find use of the info i give because really, nobody is like me, people will want me or not, no matter who else is doing what i do or knowing what i know. All i am talking about is a bit of altruism, it's making me sad that some people choose to keep valuable info for themselves while others share the info. The printscreen i put in my post is for people to use, ENJOY IT GUYS, work with it, they the valid settings, make money using them, be happy! It comes from all my heart with much love for u! Cheers!

Once again Kat Nobody here owes you or anyone else anything! SW is full of great advice if you want to go find it and then FIT IT TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL SITUATION.
As for braggers, I love when people come and tell me how much they have made, its a source of motivation for me to chase that next dollar. When I started camming there was no SW, there was nowhere to teach us how to cam, we had to learn it by ourselves and if we have figured out tricks, tips or techniques that help us make more then the average bear then its actually our privilege to share them, or Not, as we see fit.
Coming here and saying that people are "not willing to share important info that will help others make money" is akin to saying "Show Pussy bb".

I was on the bottom /low middle of the first page before. I log in today and I'm on the fourth fucking page. I checked all my settings I haven't changed anything.

Wow. This is snarky.
What works for others won't necessarily work for you. Heck I'm still trying to figure out how to successfully breach the $600-$1000 mark every week all the time. I have of course taken ALL the advice that is on here and yes sometimes it's still hit or miss. Ultimately though I know what my own issues are and why its not happening and that requires a lot of introspection and honesty with oneself. like for me, I don't work as often as I should and my schedule errs toward the side of being irregular. If I fix that, I'll be right there.
None of us can really hand out money making advice that will work, that's like selling magic slimming pills. That shit also doesn't work on everyone one. BUT...since you want it...One of my best money making schemes is to really truly sincerely act like I give a shit about these guys, even if they are mean to me. Sound exhausting? you bet. But, it pays my rent because they feel like special little snowflakes.
And I can tell you for a long time I worked with worse internet and equipment than you but still made payout easily on every site I'm on. Try that advice out and if you don't make money, well then....
This is what everyone means though, its not an attack, we're literally just trying to say that it may or may not work for you.
For real though, you attract more of what you put out and lately all it seems like you are putting out is anger and lack...and maybe that is what is coming back to bite you. Trust me when i was melting down every day my life was SHIT and so was camming. Think about this with ease and no fear and maybe things will also get better.
All i was talking about in here was The new settings, nothing else, i asked if everyone can help with a print screen or give the parameters on the new settings, i did not say i dont make money or anything, i said i been disconnected because i did not know what settings were the ones to work with & stay connected.
Believe me when i say i have this feeling that no matter how much i wanna fit in in here, i am somehow not fitting in, maybe is just my perception but this is how it feels.

Camming it's a business where we all compete on the same whale. It's normal that some don't share their secrets. SW it's still a helpful community over all, you'll find people out there who will teach you wrong on purpose, just to watch you fail. Sounds childish, but use Google more, that's how I found out what I mostly know.
And for the new settings, it's hard to be a guru in something that was just lunched.
Honestly, I feel like you put too much heart & soul in what others say or believe. Try to care and expose your feelings less. (as in general)

A useful tip I learnt while living in Thailand is to avoid Ookla based speedtests like speedtest.net and instead use testmy.net which is not flash based and will give a far more honest and useful result...
Thanks for the info about speedtest. This will be very helpful!

I kept getting kicked out of pvts and exclusive for 5 hours straight/.As soon as i used the new setting.All the madness stop.Apparently the new setting is the way to go if your experiencing disconecting issue.At least thats what worked for me.
Thank you for giving an update on site related issues. Every room I saw last night was lagging like crazy. Guys told me I was freezing. So I decided to log off. To hell with that. I was trying to pinpoint the issue and wondered if maybe my isp is capping me or something to that effect. None of my skype peeps were around to ask. Been using the 1280x720 settings for the longest and still had issues with a new desktop. I've been using the OBS maybe I will switch to the Adobe today? No one is lagging at the moment.

This is very good advice. Sometimes people in general forget that we're competitors and are on the internet. We don't REALLY know one another. And assuming that people should care about the things that effect you is kinda pointless. I'm not trying to hop on anyone who's feeling down at the moment. Because I hate that shit too. This is just in general. Take the info you need and then get to work.

I just spent all morning on the phone with my internet provider to see if I could get faster internet service. I was trying out the new settings and my connection is blocky and kept dropping after a few mins on line. My computer is an i7 gaming computer so I knew it wasnt the problem. I was relieved to find out that my service provider is offering a faster speed now (thanks god!), but the kicker is it's 10 euros CHEAPER then my old package.:O:O

I think nobody was jumping to run in and help because all the settings are right there in the file, even if it doesn't transfer. I had to manually set mine as well... and I'm about as tech stupid as they come on this board.
Nothing here is really critical enough to get pissed off about.

yeah, that's me too. I'm first to admit I know nothing about computers or pc's. Thank gawd I opened the file, downloaded, click open file and it worked itself out with no problems.! Because that's about as far as my computer/encoder knowledge goes. Hey, I don't even know what snap chat is. LOL

Dont come here and whine that we are withholding advice from you!
That is all I am saying. Is it clear now?
I wish I could thank this post more than once, I totally agree with you there!

Do i really sound like a woman who dont know how to dress, put make up on or not able to talk english or has no clue how to use the computer or sites or what
If you are actually like that or not I cannot comment as I don't know your cam name... but yes, you do *sound* like that. You are also constantly complaining, making excuses and saying that the advice you are kindly given doesn't work for you, so much so that I am inclined to believe you really don't know how to take care of your cam persona.
Believe me when i say i have this feeling that no matter how much i wanna fit in in here, i am somehow not fitting in, maybe is just my perception but this is how it feels.
Reading your recent posts has had me constantly rolling my eyes, I think you have hit the nail on the head here... but currently, this is a fact and not just your perception. I could give you some advice on how to fit in a little better, but it may not 'hit home' and you'll accuse me of bragging, so I shall keep that to myself
