Maybeeeeeeee I can stop banging my head against the wall a LITTLE bit. I finally called my ISP cause my net was randomly dropping yesterday and found out there is some external signal issue and they are supposed to be here first thing in the morning to fix it, so perhaps maybe atleast 50% of my issues this week is from my pos ISP, and let's hope they fix it and I have a banging Friday night n sat day shift and it'll double my weekly earnings, cause hell, I NEED a pick me up soon, lol.


Was your internet just randomly shutting down when you were logged in? With all the glitches and shit, mine was doing that too, and I assumed it had something to do with striate. Maybe I should call Shaw lol.

Yep it was. Randomly going offline on all my devices, modem rebooting itself, web pages hanging, etc. so it doesn't hurt to call! Even if there is no issue it's better to get that checked out first and foremost to make sure it's 100% NOT your fault before we blame general SM glitch fuckery.

And I'm definitely not saying it's 100% what's been wrong, but I definitely felt like something was up for sure.. And I WISH I would have called earlier but I was so busy this week with the last few vet appointments and focusing time online I never made time to, before I spent 25 hours online this week feeling like some wretched beast with glowing pink hair, lol. Oh well. Hopefully it'll get sorted and I can start next week off even better cause if something doesn't turn around for me soon I could always cam in my truck outside Starbucks? Lol

Hahahaha yes starbucks camming is sounding good right about now. I called them but nothing was wrong on their end I guess. I just seem to be bopping around from excellent or good rankings to poor and I am finding I am getting no traffic yet last night I had tons. I am just hoping, like you say that next week is off to a better start. these glitches have to be fixed eventually. Plus I am a virgo, and mercury is in retrograde which sounds dumb probably but last time it was in retrograde, I had so many glitches on streamate that i just did Skype shows for two weeks lol. Fuck. PS I love your pink hair! <3

I'm just mad that my ISP is such crap and it's probably been doing this a while and I never thought to call them, I just did a speedtest and the thing hung for 10mins before completing, should be a great night. And THANK YOU! I just re-dyed it and re-dyed my extensions (that was a ton of work!) tonight, can't wait to put it all together tomorrow for a new picture cause its much brighter and vibrant now and I love it!

Bumped the post, its for mac users with issues with the 8-11 fps (the title, something like that) go do that it'll fix it.

Note again, this is for MAC users only. Anyone having issues with windows, I'm unsure. I tried to find a program like camtwist (for windows) to force resolution and FPS but was unable to so I went back to using my 920C Logitech because it has its own (Logitech) drivers, where as any of the business cameras (930e bcc950) do NOT have Logitech drivers and ONLY use the plug and play feature and USB drivers (through windows) which makes it WHY the camera will not go into its true resolution form while using FMLE.

where can I find the post you're referring to?

I use a Macbook Pro i7 and the BCC950.

No, SM was so bad for me today that I logged off before my shift was over, which I almost never do. Terrible & draining as hell. I want to punch something.

Edited in the interest of not being a complete Debbie Downer complainy pants to add that last week was the best week I've ever had $$-wise so it's not like there isn't hope. Mercury in retrograde!

Does it still say STREAMATE on the checks? Or is it a different name now? I have cammed on there in a long time.

The checks say *edited out*, but I think the 1099 (or whatever tax form they send) says Streamate LTD on the form (not the envelope, I think)

finally fixed my issue, had to not only download the 3.2 version of the encoder but go and uninstall a bunch of crap on my comp that I'm sure was somehow blocking something somewhere, I was just so exhausted with it lol going to try the new broadcaster sometime soon.. just happy I can cam now without wanting to stab someone out of frustration..

thanks again, audritwo! :-)

So I just started camming on Streamate, and I also started a fansite on Modelcentro. My confusion is that we are not supposed to mention any outside websites to our customers (including our own or cammodels), but then how do we let our regulars know about the fansite? I had a regular in my room today who wanted to send me a VS giftcard so i could get some new outfits, and I had to turn him down because I couldn't give him my info! So how are we supposed to promote and market ourselves?

Thanks so much guys!

Just to clarify, do you guys mean getting a paid show from a customer who has never bought one from you before? Or getting a paid show from a customer who has never spent money on the site at all before? The reason I ask is because I normally have "free chat" turned off in my settings. Either way, I'm assuming it could only help me to turn it on.

I have free chat on but I dont view it (except for a laugh and sometimes to tell them they are freeloading losers). Im talking about the guys in guest chat who have never bought a show from me before. It might be the first show they have ever bought! We dont get to know that unless they tell us and even then it might be a lie so we dont really get to know.

But we are talking about how you convert individually compared to other girls not if you bring in new clients and get them paying.

It makes so much sense (sorry, thought about this all night, I feel so stupid for not having seen it before) that if a girl is proven to convert a high percentage of the clients visiting her into paying customers then she is the girl you want on top because she has that je ne sais quoi that you can bank on. And SM wants that money! They want it more then we do! So Top Converters means fast and frequent spenders. Everything after that is just gravy!

ETA: I wish my screen name was Je ne sais quoi. Just sharing ;)

I am actually dreading going on today so badly. I just want to work. I have so much motivation but these tech issues/traffic issues on Streamate are making it damn near impossible. I want to be positive, but I dont know if I can handle staring into an empty chat room again today trying to sell myself to non existent customers.

I totally feel you. I was planning on doing a ton of hours today because I'm going to need it to make my goal but I'm dreading getting on, seeing no one, and completely losing my motivation and deflating after an hour or two.

I'm not sure about split camming or very soft as I don't do either, but I am also wondering how to mirror my image on SMBroadcast as well. I cannot figure it out..
Can you go into your webcam settings and find a box next to Mirror Image? That's the option I have in my webcam settings, however I cannot freaking check/uncheck the damn box and therefore I can't mirror my image.

I've emailed support but all they recommend is uninstalling the broadcaster, reinstalling it, then restarting the computer. That does not help me mirror my image at all. If you cannot flip your image in your webcam settings or by reinstalling the broadcaster, I would email support to let them know you can't flip your image either. This issue needs to be addressed by them because I sure can't stream using it since everything I do is backwards and I bet other ladies who have a flipped video have a difficult time trying to perform on cam when everything they do is backwards as well.

Finley...have you tried the BCC950 with the new HD settings that just came out? I streamed extensively with the BCC950 on the Highest, newest settings and my FPS would only be at 11! My computer is an amazing machine and my internet is blazing fast. So when I switched to the C920, I am not at 99 FPS on the highest , new 1280 x 720 settings. I am also using the SM broadcast (calibrated to "best " settings) I have had zero issues now using the SM Broadcast.

Yeah, I have been using them with the new settings, but since before the new settings were even released. 1280x720 and a bitrate of 2500. I haven't used the encoder in a very long time, only OBS because I find it gives me the clearest picture and also uses so little of my CPU usage that I could be uploading vids to c4s at the same time and not have any glitches or dropped frames.

I haven't been able to try SMBroadcast yet since I work on a mac. I'm wary about their new encoder though, especially if it was made in house, we've all seen what great things they do in-house (insert eyeroll here lol).

I'm glad you've been having 0 issues now!

Okay dont hate me. I havent started using the new encoder settings. Next Monday I will when my new 4G internet is hooked up (pumped!) and I havent been on much because of other work and a brief stomach bug but today I did go on and I was super busy! Lots of clients, Prvts and Excl. Not a single drop off and no one said anything about glitches.

I did have lots of the typical "show ...... bb" type freeloaders. I noticed this has increased significantly in my room since I now also appear at the top of the page to European clients but that didnt effect my earnings. My Paid percent is at 43% which I would consider high for a Thursday.

I dont want to be the only "everything is beautiful" hippie on here but this thread could use a bit of sunshine. Its become down right depressing so I thought I would share.

Thank you for sharing. The new settings have been working well for me. One thing I surprisingly noticed, is that I have a sudden increase of old regs from 2013 and prior. Those members are coming in and spending again. I think this is a good indication that the site is on the right track.

^^^ I noticed this too! I had a lot of old people from 2012 and 2013 and I'm thinking to myself where are these guys coming from out of no where?!

Alright so, I got my net fixed, weak connection from outside and a faulty splitter, really? like really? Eh.. whatever. So between switching to my better computer, new webcam, net fixed, even in SM's general slowness, I'm hoping I can atleast make more than 20 an hour tonight! Lets do this!! :O

Is anyone who's using the SM Broadcaster able to splitcam? It sounds like it's not recognizing Verysoft in the webcam selection.

I can't find a way to split cam with the broadcaster either and I need to, I was on for 2 hours yesterday and made 70 cents yep. I've been on for a few hours today... less than 4 dollars

Well thats not good. Hopefully its a mistake or oversight in the design.

^Maybe they want to stop splitting.I hope that's not the case though.I use verysoft even when I don't split because it gives me more fps than my BCC alone does.

I wonder if in the future the SM Broadcater will be mandatory? And if they will remove the external encoder option from the dropdown? I think that would be a shame if it's the case. A shame for SM not me though. :)

So I just started camming on Streamate, and I also started a fansite on Modelcentro. My confusion is that we are not supposed to mention any outside websites to our customers (including our own or cammodels), but then how do we let our regulars know about the fansite? I had a regular in my room today who wanted to send me a VS giftcard so i could get some new outfits, and I had to turn him down because I couldn't give him my info! So how are we supposed to promote and market ourselves?

Thanks so much guys!
This is one of my biggest pet peeves with SM. On MFC and some other sites they have NO issue with you mentioning your personal sites and Twitter! I personally would log on WAY more if I was given the permission to do that!! I don't see why it isn't allowed. After all, I advertise them on my site and Twitter!! We'd all make more $$ considering we'd log on more as a way to promote ourselves. It is super upsetting when I have them ask if I have a website or Twitter and I have to be all coy and secretive about it!! If your reading this SM... Please reconsider!!

A regular of mine has been popping in and out too lately and not saying a word. It was weird. Last time I saw him he said we were going to do a long session. He showed up that night he said that and left without taking me private. I've seen him 2 times since. No word. Kinda feel like either he's not interested anymore (then why go into my room...) or something is up.

Am I the ONLY person who has not been invited to the new SM broadcast? While I'm not a top model on Streamate, I am certainly not on pages 3..4..5. I have been in the middle of page 1 these last couple weeks most of the time.

Hi, I'm new and have a question about the encoder. I apologize in advance if this has been answered, but I was unable to find the answer in these nearly 900 pages. I am in the process of setting up my account with SM. I received a message about using the encoder. It stated that you needed to be plugged in to use it. Is this absolutely necessary? Where I would hardwire my computer is clear across the house from where I plan on camming and it is just not possible to do it. Am I screwed? Thanks in advance!

I'm on the middle of the 1st page and have not been 'invited' to use the new SM broadcast yet. IDK.

You don't have to be hard wired in, no. It's advised for best performance but not required. I, too, am often not wired in for the same reason as you and find that I get similar if not slightly worse results with my wireless internet.

I feel like it's probably random cause I'm a newer model and I'm on the 3rd page pretty consistently and got invited to use it, even though I have a Mac and can't.
