moving right along....'-) guys are really noticing and liking the new settings. At least on my end! Can't hide anything anymore. LOL Nothing but positive feedback on the picture. Right away they notice the difference. No glitches No complaints. So far so good.
^^^ Same here but the mobile users seem to have problems watching me with the new settings, every time a guy says he cant see me i ask if he's mobile and the answer is YES. Are the new settings supported on mobile devices?

I've noticed the same thing. Always a black screen, always mobile. Its fine if they're using B-Line. I checked it myself and it's a clear picture. The guys having the issue are mobile and NOT using B-Line. I wish they'd get the mobile site working or else make an app for all operating systems.

Using them for a while and yes ,it is good quality.Knowing the new settings were given I watched a few cams last night.I learned that guys can now see every red spot,every freckle,etc.I did not watch myself before so I had no idea how clear it was.Omg what if I get a pimple ?LOL.

well, what's good about men and the new settings is that they like to see everything! Like "get up in it" everything. Us ladies like everything so pretty, fresh and nice. Men like it wide fuckin' open! hahahaha I know it's hard when WE see every flaw, but the guys love it.

I can only assume mobile site is not ok for every OS because I "stalk" SM from my mobile or tablet ,both android ,and I never got a black screen nor other glitch.Im also using a VPN so I should have some issues I guess but I don't.They also have an android app for sm but never tried it,just using normal browser.I might try that app just to see what it 's like for guys to use it.

Okay thank you. This is the same time yesterday that I tried a quick shift. I havent logged on yet but everyone else is lagging and the audio is off. I only ask so if I can tell if its an isp issue or SM. Could be regional?

Not sure if this is computer voodoo or actually helpful, but we had several models today having issues with the new settings and getting traffic. Either their placement tanked for no reason, or their "HD" and "Audio" icons didn't show up.
Two things we did that seemed to help:
1) Increase the bitrate from 2000 to 2500 on the encoder. This gives more of a cushion when your provider squeezes your bandwidth a bit or squirrels dance on your lines.
2) Don't splitcam for a minute and see if that helps. Even if your total bandwidth is huge, the multiple broadcasts still compete with each other.

Are the cams on SM lagging when you go the site right now?

Is this happening when you watch other peoples streams as well? Oddly when I watch on cellphone its comes out okay.

Ewww I'm major pixelated and my bitrate droped to 246kbps I'm normally closer to 1,000 and my placement tanked for no reason. My internet is 65 down and 12 up so it's plenty fast.
Edited to add bit rate dropped to 99.

Hello girls!
Whats wrong with random page on SM?
Thats is showing only of member location .Europe ip showing only Europe models on page.Eastern EU ip ,showing Eastern Eu models.So EU users cant see US and CO models! Thats is realy sucks for models!Eastern EU and American models loose a lot of members from another countries (UK,FR,GB,NL etc...)Loose $$$!

When I try to stream using the encoder, the pop-up box doesn't come up (the one that gives you the 'FMS URL' and 'Stream' links to copy&paste. It just doesn't come up at all.
Is anyone else having this issue?

First time I've experienced a lag like that in ages. My poor custies were complaining on their end as well. I got one show in and decided to hustle indy instead. Some of us don't have time for this bs.

I had this too!! Restarting the browser sorted it the first time but now it's coming up again.
Edit: No wonder no-one's coming into my room when I'm not even showing as online while streaming? What a joke.

Went from 100 to 169 to 1100 to 160something to 280something.....
Obviously issues, again, what a surprise, I really wish they could undo whatever they did to break the site because for the last 3 weeks its been messed up, and the ONE TIME I decide to wake up and get online early now I know why that was a bad idea... can't even start a show - smh, on a Saturday at that, don't really need all this but what can you do??? Hopefully this'll force them to fix whats been wrong in the long run. :(

This morning started off good, due to how slow it has been for me. Then I keep getting disconnected.
Babes, be prepared for the worst cause it will get messy for a good while from now on, i had this experience a few times already & the most ugly was when they introduced gold shows back in september 2011, a major change like this will affect us big time. I got ready to get on cam myself & reading this now, ugh, need a back up plan. Things will get very bad before getting better, it will be ok then but will take some time.
wannaknow
08-15-2015, 08:25 AM
Yes and also TV shows made it worse too can't the guys pay 30.00 per month and see any girl that do TV shows for that monthly membership almost like free but not free because its 30 per month of course but if they were paying per min then the model would benefit from it...maybe I'm wrong but idk hope it sort itself out ladies stay strong

I remember when they changed the encoder settings and introduced widescreen it was like this for a while... and Vanessa did say they were implementing the new 720 settings soon, possibly what this is?? And last time they did it the site was messed up for weeks also. I also need another egg in my basket cause I'm sitting here all pretty watching football replays!!! damn, haha.

I was in a pvt for 5 minutes. Earnings are not showing up. wtf!!!
I took a screenshot of the pvt chat. Should I send this to support?
Edit: The earnings are there now. But.... I use the stopwatch on my iphone (so I don't give anything for free during the first 30 seconds) and I ended my timer at 5 minutes (when I thought the show ended), and apparently the show ended at 4 minutes (per earnings sheet).
So I must have been playing with my pussy for 1 minute for no reason.
Great SM. Wonderful.

I'm just not even sure I should bother logging in this morning. I'm only seeing 300 models online and I know that can't be right for a Saturday right before the pay period cut off.

The site is crashing, someone did post on twitter that Liz said they are aware of the issue and working to fix the problem, how long that'll take.. who knows.
I was Streaming, had a guy in my room not responding anymore, looked up in encoder log, i was connected, all looking fine there, looked up myself on site, i showed offline! My room was stuck, this is not going to work! WHOA!
Yes the phone service is down too, not that i offer phone anyway but yes, major issues on site just now. Sitting here with make up on, dressed for work, barely taking this heat & now this, OMG! I am using the new settings by the way.
Now i cant even open my session anymore, i dont get the encoder addresses.

Got taken private and none of his messages were coming through. They finally all came through at once and I was disconnected. Even if they are aware of the issue I'm sending a support ticket every time something fucks up. I'm also asking any customers who experience issues to send support tickets as well because this is ridiculous.

I'm just glad I had already made my weekly goal before yesterday! I'm going to a party tonight so now I'm just taking my pretty self over to a backup site for a couple hours.
I wish I had some cam girl friends in Houston so I could go meet them for a drink to bitch about this haha.
