My couples account I don't work on for months at a time was invited to download the SMBroadcaster and I never used Adobe external encoder with it. It might be because I did well with my couples account the first week vs. my solo account I had to get around to using it. It doesn't make sense if you ask me. I wish they enabled it on my solo account instead.

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.
the new SM Broadcast isn't available for Mac? why would SM penalize all Mac users? wtf.

Hi. Can someone send me the recommended settings for the HD 720? for Mac?
I downloaded it directly from SM but it doesn't say which numbers belong where....
thank you in advance :)

^^^^ its just 1280x720 input and output with 30 fps and maintain aspect ratio checked and 2000 bit rate for recommended and 1500 bitrate for medium. Everything else is the same.

Yes I had bouncing around too! It took me 3 days to figure it out. It is your FPS most likely. I learned that the BCC950 Conference Cam can't really handle the new settings (even though the camera capable of 30 Frames per second). I switched to the C920 and it fixed it. As soon as your FPS drops, placement does too!
is this true? I use the BCC950

If you have issues with the conference cam and the new settings running your fps at 8-11fps I have a post with instructions for Mac users and how to fix it.

The SMBroadcast selection was random, it doesn't mean you're good/aren't good because you were selected to test it or not.
It's in beta testing right now, I can only assume it will be released for mac shortly. They're probably trying to work the kinks out for windows first since the vast, VAST majority of the world runs on windows.
Mac users aren't being penalized...it's not like it's going to affect your placement like the 720 settings. It's just an alternative to using an external encoder.

ok so I am a little confused is the smbroadcast option different than the encoder? I have been using the encoder for years just not with the high settings but either a lot of girls haven't been using it or the smbroadcast is something different. I just wrote them to get it and they said I have it now but I do not see anything different lol. I am confused

I dont have it either, from what i read here it's a different encoder & when u get it it comes with a message on ur dash board and a link to download it. Someone posted a print screen on how that message looks, some pages back. Plus it should show in ur chat window too in the selection box, it would be the last option right after the 'External encoder'. Most probably they missed to send u the message with downloadable link if u dont see any new message there and the option in ur chat room in the selection box where u select the streaming option.

I have to say, I do like the new SMBroadcast. Traffic is still not so great though. I do have to do a bit more hours nowadays to reach the same goal and Gold Shows are more difficult to run. But since Gold Shows are not really my thing, whatever. I notice what I've read a few posts before... some old regulars are coming back. This week was actually not bad. I don't know... if they can get the new SMBroadcast to work smoothly for everybody, that might be a good thing. I had this issue at the beginning, I couldn't log in with my performer credentials and would not see the SMBroadcast option on the drop-down list of my streaming page. But I reported a bug and they fixed it in a couple of days. Then yesterday I tried to open the program, but it would stop responding every time while logging in or opening the camera. I was about to write another report, but I just decided to uninstall and install the program again. And then it worked. Hope I don't have to go through all the trouble every time cause when the SMBroadcast actually gets to work, my streaming goes on really well. Also like the new highest Adobe encoder settings. Let's see what they stick with.

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.
I guess it was random. I have no idea about my placement, but I am certainly not a top model. Still I was invited to try it. I have two accounts and my couple one didn't get the invitation.

I've been having a decent weekend but today and yesterday I've had so many members unable to connect to my room. As soon as their name comes up, they're gone. I don't even have time to say hi and click my preset message about refreshing, or using B-line app! Very frustrating. At times I ONLY have these in out, back in then out again guys. I even went down to 640x380 (or whatever it is) in case it would help these (mobile?) users but nope.

Is there any magic art to gold shows? I just tried my latest one and failed miserably. Granted, I wasn't in the best mood cause I'm doing shit this week, but I have a feeling that a 30min count down to a 30min shower show at well under $100 shouldn't just get one single contribution from a guy near the end hoping for me to do it for $5 anyway. Why don't any of my gold shows ever make me any money? :/
I've tried minimum buy ins $1-10.
I've tried different themes.
I've tried chatting to everyone in pvt or in party.
I've tried sound off and on.
I've tried short ones and long ones.
I've tried fetish and vanilla.
Nothing I do as a GS gets buyers other than one or two last minute pledges who then complain I didn't start a 30min gold show for $5 or a 10min gold show for $1.
It's pissing me off and confusing me.

um yeah i cant really get a gold show fro more than 50 gold sometimes its less than that. with the same buy in amounts 2 3 1 5 etc. i even do highest tippers and do first five gets 20 vids and still have issues. idk. my sister in law on the ohter hand does fabulous with her gold shows and thats how she makes most of her money. i do know she teases in free big time shows tits shows ass moans rubs pussy on top of panties etc. idk i dont want to do that because i hate the free loaders

This is just what works for *me*, so take this with a grain of salt. I've found that doing a countdown of under 10 minutes works best (most guys are horny RIGHT NOW and want to cum son) and doing the show for 5-10 minutes for $5 buy in attracts a decent crowd and is cheap enough for all the cheapskates. Also, upsell vids/pics/using their name/doing certain things if you hit goal etc. GIVE THEM MORE THINGS TO BUY. Upselling works!!
Also, I've found that if I try to start a show when I'm in a bad mood I completely fail. Peppy, excited, cheerful, hyperactive = big money for me, but it's certainly not true for everyone. Keep experimenting and see what works best for you. :)

I agree with Scarlett!
Big countdows -> no patience. Nobody with a boner wants to wait that much. They get bored. They want action. Right here, right now!
Big shows -> too much time. They get bored again, they want to beat off and go do other things. A long show is like romantic sex with candles, and nobody got time for that on a porn website. Gold show guys are trained to cum in 10-15 min max.
Besides that, there is no secret in hustling. Some girls tease a lot, some just talk, some mix those too.
You have to "smell" the crowd. Even if they are not a group, they act, without knowing, like one.
I usually try to be all bubbly and funny, they like to see you are open and natural. They feel like they can flirt with you and then things can lead to sex (the Gold Show).

About this SMBroadcast app. I can't seem to select the resolution/fps/bitrate that I want. It selects whatever it decides it likes.
Also, has anyone noticed SMBroadcast doesn't seem to recognize software cams? It only picks up my two hardware cams (C920 and laptop built-in) and ignores Verysoft cams. Is the real purpose of this app actually a crappy attempt to block split camming? :irked: Cause, I tell ya Streamate, that won't work when models can run multiple physical cams.

That's a good idea. Never really thought about telling them to use the B-line app. Do you just basically tell them if they're having trouble viewing your video then to download the B-line app?

So now I have to hope I don't get in trouble because after my gold show ended my phone started blowing up with all my cam friends asking why was I fucking myself in free chat. I have never jacked off in free chat in my life. I'm so mad I can cry..... Be warned girls just in case. I'm emailing support in hopes they will not punish me for something that was outta my control.
If i try to look up galleries in Chrome i get a grey page with a little symbol like a page with sad face on it & if i hoover with mouse over it it says "null", when i try with Mozilla i get a similar message like u posted, it must be a tech. issue on SM's end.

Yes, it calibrates itself according to our equipment capacity. It also adapts the settings automatically in case internet connection suffers any changes while broadcasting.

And, if I want a lower resolution, I'm out of luck? This app assumes I'm not running anything else on my computer so it's selecting the highest resolution. When I want to run at a lower resolution, it's because I want to reduce CPU load for other apps. This app is limiting my options as a model. I don't like that.

I think the SM broadcaster is just a way to stop splitcamming. Sure, it looks clearer but you can get the same clarity broadcasting with the Xlovecam splitter and their Flux Manager.

I seem to be getting the same dude (or whoever) tagging me the same stuff once or twice a week. I keep getting insulting fat tags. I'm 8 months pregnant, of course I'm chubby. It's a given. I kept one of them because since it's a fetish, maybe I can finally profit from a guy looking for a chubby belly. :)

It's happened to me before too, the delay on chat, support is aware of it because they emailed me asking for details and said they had similar complaints, I think you'll be fine. They said they were trying to pinpoint why and HOW it's happening.

I had wondered this too but down below she said it can help with keeping a steady stream. Im still unsure of how it works. Is it a browser based encoder? And if it is a way to stop splitcamming..good luck on that SM. We can always use a second camera if I really need to work the site that day. I actually prefer two cameras. It's easier to lure guys into privates if they cant see all the action. No tip camera goes up. Show me the money camera goes down.

Has anyone tried any of the tools off the Adobe Media Server website: http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/adobe-media-server-family/tool-downloads.html
This is the one that most interests me:
Adobe AMSCheck tool
AMSCheck provides information about whether the server is running or not, what the response time is, and which Adobe Media Server core processes are not responding. This tool can be used in Windows or Linux.

The glitches with the site are so damn bad! Why work on adding new features to the site when the classic features aren't working?

It's a diagnostic tool to see how the Adobe Media Servers are doing.
After seeing these tools...it may not be ALL SM's fault for all these glitches. SM runs entirely on Flash, even their chat, (not HTML), so if Adobe decides to fuck up, SM fucks up. So, when we get pissed of at SM, really, we should also be pissed off at Adobe.

I use two cams anyway. One specifically for SM and the other I use my verysoft to split with other sites. Sorry SM, if that's your intention it's not going to work booboo but I admit I do actually like the SBroadcaster. For me it's really simple and seamless so far. *crosses pussy hairs*
