So, I used the SM broadcaster today and personally... I LOVE IT. I always had issues with the encoder and even though I have an i7 with an upload speed of damn near 30 I couldn't stream in 1280X720. I had no issues with the SM Broadcaster and they calibrated me very high and my picture quality was amazing. The guys all said there wasn't any lag and that everything looked crystal clear. I love that the actual box is smaller( makes more room for all my other stuff on the screen) but that the picture is actually wider and maybe a little taller also? Anyway, I'm a big fan. I can also say that I have been going on all week without making ANY Money and as soon as I switched over to SMBroadcast I made $200 in an hour. Not sure if one has to do with another, but I could see the clear picture justifying guys paying $10/min a little easier on exclusive.

They finally enabled the SMbroadcaster after I emailed support a few times.
Edited to add - is anyone able to use a splitter with this and if so which? Thanks so much. I want to use Verysoft webcamsplitter but it's not showing.

Went on SM today after a long hiatus and I didn't experience any glitches. I got around 2000 bitrate and made money quickly with one gold show and some privates in about 30 minutes total before I went back to the token sites. My placement hasn't changed. I used FMLE. I don't have the SM Broadcaster invite but my feed looks as good as usual and I used my old variable bitrate settings at 720p. It's like nothing changed for me.

The only fix I know of is using a splitter (preferably verysoft for better quality) .I can`t get over 15-20 fps with any of my logitech cams but will do using verysoft.

Seicento ,thank U for replay I heard it but not many splitters work on mac;( I tried to download Manycam (learning version before i pay 50$ )but it did not show up at all in devices so I could not check if I should buy it or not. So decided also check here on forum how girls who work on mac get 30 fps with new setting .

You can test free version of verysoft and see how it works.

I finally received an email and they mentioned nothing about SMBroadcast, just sent me an explanation and a few links about the new HD720 settings. Now I have to wait all day again for them to get back to me when they should have read my email correctly the first time. Support is frustrating... oh well.

Support can be slow. It took over 2 weeks for them to resolve an issue I had. Half the time answers seem like they are just standard replies pasted in and not direct replies to a question. They don't have any personal communication whatsoever - it's like you're communicating with robots.

I posted about this a while back, you can use cam twist splitter to put your camera into 1280x720 settings and fps of 30, I'll see if I can find the form post and bump it.

They didn't give me that option.... sad face.. I wonder why? I am getting ready to spend almost 2 grand for a computer because mine can't handle the new settings with splitting with another site or 2.. even after getting 16gb of memory and a dedicated graphics card..
So, first day of using SMBroadcast was pretty successful. I didn't have any issues with it and it was just as clear as the Adobe Encoder. I had "very high" settings after it calibrated. It's a lot easier to use than Adobe, so that's a plus. No copying/pasting every time I start streaming. I still think I prefer the image I get using OBS and may go back to OBS after testing this for the 2 weeks. We shall see!

SmBroadcast worked really well for me last night. I generally don't have a lot of streaming issues anyway, but it was very smooth. The only glitch I saw was that sounds weren't working, but that happens sporadically anyway.

Verysoft doesn't show up on my dropdown box (I have the paid version). I wonder if it's because I'm using 64 bit windows. So annoying!
I think I'm going to stick with the encoder anyway because I can run it at 1280x720 fine and strangely with the SMBroadcaster it uses more resources, not less (33% with encoder and 57% SMBroadcast).

Does anyone look at their dashboard/earnings in another window on SM? I used to be able to on Firefox but after the update it asks me to LOG IN. Is there a way around this? I like looking at my ranking/ratings, tags etc while working.
When you pull it up in another tab it'll be the sign in screen. All you have to do is click the StreamateModels logo in the top left corner, and it'll take you to your dashboard.

Hoping sm reads this..because i'm not writing them about it. Anyways a heads up to you ladies as well. I started tonight off with my smbroadcaster...everything was going WONDERFUL! Until everything stopped almost.... i went from having like 30 people in the chat to maybe 5..but the people coming in and out were consistent. Finally someone said, "i still don't have video." So sure enough I go to look up myself and i'm frozen in some position i was in maybe 15 minutes ago!! UGH! So i went back to my encoder and haven't had any more issues... placement has still been high... that smbroadcaster keeps flickering and it's just a hot mess at the moment. I love the clarity, but until they work out the kinks... I wont be using it. (sorry I coultn't make it 2 weeks sm! lol..)

With all my issues I've been having lately, decided my mac wasn't cutting it anymore, switched to the i7 alienware and back to my old Logitech 920c, did a few test streams, ran the new HD settings flawlessly with no bit rate changing issues, no lag, and using maybe 20% of my CPU usage.. wish I did this a while ago but I like my mac better because I dispise windows, and I'll have to get used to the picture on my 920c again but hey, small losses for hopefully large gains! I plan on camming a lot and I really don't want to deal with any tech issues, and it seems like a good 75% of them were me and my shitty set up! on to bigger and better things!

I'd really like to up my nightly hours from 4 to 6...but four is so much it feels like... My eyes are always killing me after that long and my body hurts!! Ugh...I sit and watch these other girls cam all day and just WISH i could! Maybe I'll start adding an extra 30 minutes until I hit 6 hours. I'd like more cash. Maybe I'll adjust my shows after 4 hours so they're easier lol. Idk...Maybe I need to learn to fake this shit. I bet that would help a ton.

Sometimes I'll do 4-8 hours straight but when I'm just not feeling up to it I'll split up my shift into fewer hours. Like I'll do 2-3 hours and then I'll take a 10 minute, an hour, our few hours break and then I'll log back on. Why not try spliting up your long shifts? Its alot easier to pull long hours when u take a couple of breaks in between.

So I'm sure everyone else is noticing weird usernames that are random #'s and letters, like Pqrsj756, etc. Well last night someone came into my room and I was talking to him a bit and he told me that his username is "just what he was given when he signed up." I told him he could change it and he asked if he could do that on ____ site. I totally forget the site name, but I distinctly remember it being something like a porn tube site. Fuck, I wish I knew the name of the site now. But anyway, that's where most of these random usernames are coming from. He actually spent money but a lot of them seem like chronic freeloaders because I'm sure they were misled (like the traffic from AdultHookUp).

There's some shit doing the fake Gold thing. He tells you he can't go private, tries to buy Skype sessions or get you to do things for Gold in public. He says he's using a mobile device and that's why there's a delay in the Gold payments registering on your dashboard. I hope he has an accident to his genitals.

I have noticed the same problem Panthera. I have I7 processor, 90 Mbps, 12.22 UPLOAD, Logitech conference cam, 8.00 RAM..(basically I have a gaming computer my son ordered)...I am usually in the very good, or excellent for bitrate AND FRAMES PER SECOND. I downloaded the newest settings and my FRAME RATE went to POOR!!! 10 frames...I find this hard to believe. So I used the SECOND best file (1500 bitrate) and my frames per second stayed exactly the same! By the way, SM ranks you based HEAVILY on bitrate and frames per second. I am usually the top two rows, but since the new settings, way lower. So I thought, ok, let's go back to the old school settings (where I know my rank was excellent) and I AM STILL 10 FRAMES PER SECOND! So I emailed them with screen shots...I think that stupid tool is definitely bugged!!! Sadly it does affect us until they work out the kinks. I then tried the Sm BROADCAST thing. It took me 3 hours to calibrate the stupid camera, but I finally got it calibrated to the "BEST" settings. I tried on e afternoon, but did a free gold show for "testing" It seemed fine for about 20 minutes then sound disappeared and I got SUPER pixelated!!!! Logged off and back on and it fixed it for about 20 minutes lol. Oddly, my frames per second using the SM broadcaster was 99!!!!!! LOL..so im clueless.....I am being told that when I used the newest highest settings, I am picture perfect clear but streamate says I have low frames per second (which I find hard to believe based on my equipment and fast internet)....
Sunday I used the usually encoder with the highest settings and did plenty of exclusives, privates and gold shows without any complaints (even though my rank dropped based on the frames per second being low)
I can't get my frames back to where they were before this new change unless I use the SM broadcast and then I go pixel after a few minutes!!!!
Is there anyone out there that is experiencing this too? I swear its on streamates end!!!! Customers are coming in my room today and saying how fucked up the site is....
thanks!

Hey everyone. Been awhile since I posted. Still around though.
First of all, what is the SM BROADCASTER? Is that new and different from the encoder and the new HD720 settings?
I tried the new HD720 settings last week and they worked well. But today it was awful. Guys would try to go exclusive, they would get kicked out constantly. I too switched back to old encoder settings and had no problems after that.

SM selected some of us to download and try their new SMBroadcaster for 2 weeks. It seems not everyone has gotten the email/note. If you have the email will be in your box with the link to download and this at the top of your dashboard.

For those of you who keep getting errors when trying to sign in to SMBroadcast, I had the same thing happen to me as well as not seeing the SMBroadcast under the drop-down Quality settings.
I emailed support explaining what was going on and they responded with no helpful advice. When I tried to log on to SMBroadcast the next day, for some reason it actually worked and I even saw SMBroadcast under the drop-down settings. Not exactly sure why it didn't work or what finally made it work, but maybe email support and wait a day.
I am running into an issue with it though. My video is mirrored in the new broadcaster. I cannot figure out how to flip my video horizontally back to the correct way. This happened with the Adobe Encoder, but I was able to go into my webcam settings and click the 'Mirror Image' box and everything was fine. But I cannot do that with the broadcaster, it won't let me click the stupid Mirror Image box. Is anyone else's video flipped?
