Upgrading my laptop has been on my mind lately. I remember back in '12 when I went out bought an i7 Toshiba. I started making 80 - 100 a hour with the i7. I took a year off from camming or so. By the time I came back my Toshiba died and I had a emergency so I had to cam with my macbook air i5. I thought it was going to be dreadful.... Camming with my macbook air demolished the numbers I was doing with the windows i7. I make anywhere from 150-200 an hour very easily now. I guess I can run the i5 settings and be good because I don't ever do gold shows.

I run the legacy settings - my placement hasn't been affected and my money keeps going up ( I personally hate the new settings) but if that's what the site is going to convert to I suppose I'm going to need to get an i7 sooner or later. I rather get a windows i7, it will save me a buttload of money but I am very hesitant after the success I had with my mac and it's just a i5 air. Does anybody cam with a macbook pro i7? If you switched from mac to windows or vice verse what system made your money increase?

Sorry, but I'm just getting a little frustrated hearing ladies freak out over whether they need to upgrade their systems. Doing your own research and being knowledgeable about your tech and hardware is super important in this industry. There's a plethora of information on this website and soooo much all over the internet at your fingertips. How will you troubleshoot issues if you don't know what you're working with? How can you know if SM is glitching or it's your machine or it's your network connection unless you know how it works in the first place?

You ladies know the i5 and i7 are just arbitrary labels applied to a brand name (intel) of processors right? Not every i5 processor is going to be faster than every i7 processor, SM just provides this vague requirement because they know most people aren't tech-savvy. What fresh hell are you stuck in if you have an AMD processor based on their requirements??? Sure you can dump a bunch of money into a new system if you have cash to spare, but don't think just because you don't have an i5 you're instantly SOL.

The difference between using either a Mac or PC that both run SM's settings perfectly will have no impact on your earnings - it's a placebo effect. Use what works and what you prefer. Macs aren't conducive to logitech software but you really prefer them? So buy a BCC 950 then, or learn about the workarounds already detailed here. I will never recommend a Mac to someone who isn't already committed to them (overpriced, not necessary for camming) but if you simply cannot imagine using Windows again, then you do you! There are both Macs and PCs that will work perfectly fine with HD720 settings - it's up to you to do some research and figure out your best course of action.

Technology is always changing so I can't write up some masterpost of what you need because it will be outdated tomorrow, and frankly, it's your responsibility to figure it out. If this is a bit harsh, my bad. But spoon feeding you ladies information that is either a) inaccurate (and I've seen lots of inaccurate info in here) or b) will be outdated in a few months isn't helping you in the long run. Give a camgirl a fish you feed her today, yada yada yada.

You click to enter the exclusive first. You accept the popup request, then if he doesn't immediately pop into the paid chat window, hit the break button (I usually press it twice, going in and out of break quickly, but I don't think it actually matters?) and he should appear and you'll be all set.

Wish I learned this earlier. Missed so many excl shows because of this limbo glitch. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this ladies. It's true, I got them to install a break button and I haven't missed a single exclusive!!! I've missed over 10 this month and was really discouraged. There was a day this month I lost 5 in a ROW and I was on the verge of tears.

I wish everyone a great night camming. It was really slow for me yesterday and today. I made it close to my goal, but the quality of customers are a lot to deal with at the moment. I hope the 1st of the month will bring more paychecks to the table. xoxo

I just got back to work and have been using the new settings for the first time, my issue is that my feed keeps blinking while the bitrate readjusts. That used to happen to me occasionally with the old settings but closing the encoder and reopening it would fix it. That's not working this time, I tried the old settings and even then it was still blinking although not as much as it does with the new settings. Also every time I move my webcam around it gets very pixelated and laggy. My rankings all look fine, I hope I don't need a new computer.

I have a brand new I7 computer and these issues you are speaking of have been happening to me for 2 months now. :( I know it's not my computer or my internet. I'm sure it's the same situation with you Genoveve. I have no idea whats going on. All I know is its making me sad and discouraged.

I got disconnected in the middle of a 15 minute block today. My whole screen went white except for the streamate logo in the middle of it and I had to log in again. The customer said that it just said I'd disconnected on his end. Has this happened with anyone else? I'm used to glitches by now but the white screen is something new.

This started happening to me tonight, too. I don't know what it could be. My rankings on the site look better than they ever have before but I can see that I'm all jumpy and laggy.

The same thing happens to me when I stream with the new HD settings. I'm okay for the first hour or two, but something happens after that and my video stream starts flickering/blinking/pixelating. Very unsexy when I look like a giant blur moving around.

I don't know how to fix it either and my rankings look great. I see guys come in and immediately leave, and this happens with a lot of guys. I believe they are trying to come in but get kicked out or something. Even the old settings slightly flicker for me as well and they use to not do that.

Yeah. Yesterday I tried using the new settings for the first time and I'm on a Mac so it was doing the shitty FPS-goes-way-down thing. So I switched back to the old settings and it was still doing it. So I used the fix that was posted on this forum and it worked great! But I still stuck with the old settings. Did about an hour, made more money than I did the rest of the week, then took a break after a long show. When I came back the flickering/jumpy/pixelating thing was happening. I restarted the encoder, I tried using the new settings, I tried adjusting the bitrate, no matter what I was jumpy. So of course no one stayed in my room. I need these issues to stop so I can maybe make some money at some point this week!

I'm ready to tear my hair out. I went back to the normal encoder settings and not using CamTwist and my stream was fixed but my placement fell by about a full page. So now I have to make the choice between having a good feed and much less traffic or having a shitty feed and pretty good placement with actual traffic but no one can see me properly.

Has anyone found a solution to the RTT issue, mine go from average ranking down to 1000, and further down? I'm close to 100% it is not on my end, called my ISP and i have the best speeds i can have here-- tested my ping to Seatle and had a ping of 115 ms, 11 mbps download and 1.96 upload. I am losing so much money with this. I will be top row and no issues with my stream and then suddenly i jsut fall off the page and down to row 10 plus and my rtt goes from 250 or something to insane numbers like 1000, 2000, and i've even seen 3,000. I never had any of these issues until the new settings rolled out and have no idea what to do. I have rune the new settings but my bitrate jumps all over, and if i try to fix that by unchecking auto adjust my RTT plummets. I have tried OBS with the same issue and gotten the same frustrating issue. I do not know what to do at this point and am going to be incredibly happy to leave this site shortly, but until then I have to tough this out. Has anyone experienced these issues and found a solution? I've tried the old settings, new settings, everything. I messaged SM support and basically got a message saying it was all on my ISP...which I'm pretty sure it is not. Any help would be greatly appreciated after a month of this shit I am about to have a breakdown.

i have that problem with the RTT, with new settings usually is in poor, sometimes average but usually between 250 to 400, i have the same download and upload speed u have, 2 Mb upload its too low for us now, the new seetings need at least 2.5 Mb upload speed... so for now the only thing im doing is low the bit rate from 2000 to 1800 and have the RTT that i said ... and wait until the optic fiber come to my neighborhood until december... for now just patience ...

SM_CamGirl
10-01-2015, 02:12 PM
well i don't have fiber coming any time soon....as im sure many do not :( I have been using the 1500kbps settings and CAN run those, but still have glitches like crazy, my bitrate jumps all over with auto-adjust turned on, and if i turn it off my RTT jumps all over. I'm beginning to think that I am unable to work on the site any longer, it is saddening that they have chosen to use such high bandwidth requirements when many of us just don't have it even available to us. Have you seen your RTT get into the thousands like I have? my ranking right now has excellent everything except for 1469 RTT-- poor. I'm just so disheartened.

yes it happened to me the last year... exactly 1 year ago, but i have a question, when u are streaming u see ur bit rate going down form 1500 to 200 or 100 in the encoder when u click in encoding log?, u see the video super pixelated when u have autoadjust and degrade quality checked?

SM_CamGirl
10-01-2015, 03:13 PM
It goes down to as low as 750 then I get the error message saying it cant stream..then it adjusts and goes on its merry way back up to 1500...where it stays until it slows down...I have auto adjust turned on, i usually dont, but im trying everything

i sent a pvt message to u, i dont know if i sent it good but check if u got it =)

The crazy RTT was happening with me, when all else failed, I got my ISP to come out and check my net and that was the issue with the outside line and a splitter inside, they 'fixed it', it worked for 2 days, now it's back to messing up, I called them again, and they're coming back out tomorrow. Not sure if its related to anyone elses issues, but I know in my case, its most definitely my ISP that is my gloom and doom these past 2 weeks. Hoping they can fix it tomorrow, because I literally can't afford anymore time off with my internet not working right. :( When it was working I was getting constant 150-90 RTT times, now I'm back to RTT times tonight of 650-1000's, and by doing a speedtest to check my net its definitely not running like it should.

this exclusive glitch is seriously pissing me off tonight. A guy has tried 100x i swear. I did the break room trick but he kept leaving. I have never had glitches THIS bad since I started camming in late 2012. Not sure what's up. Thanks Streamate... thanks a bunch tonight.

This glitch finally hit me today, too. And I have no break button so I was pretty powerless against it. I could've really used that exclusive, too.

Fortunately restarting my computer seems to have fixed the jumpy/lagging problem. I made my goal today in less time than I was expecting. Finally things are getting somewhat back to normal.

Hi Ladies, maybe I'm getting my period but I'm really feeling blue about something tonight. I'm a new cam girl, and since using the new settings everything is really spectacular! Yeah, glitches here and there but wayyy better than I used to do without FMLE. My first regular who always does 15 min block sessions appeared after 2 weeks (he used to do 1-3 a week) and I was so excited. He tries 2x to do an exclusive block and I'm unable to connect. I do the break button, I see him, he leaves after 2 seconds. Sigh... I notice the girl behind me in my category then disappears for about 15 mins.

I'm sad and trying not to take it personally but I don't know if it's a problem on my side or he's on a phone but I feel like on one end I gained so much using these new settings but I may have lost a regular.

Has anyone ever experienced this and if so, can you please offer me some insight on how to be positive about this?

Love you ladies...this forum really uplifts me and I'm grateful that it's here

I was just kicked off the site three times in a row, all due to SM errors. So sad :(

где traffic? когда СМ начинают покупать traffic? я нахожусь на первой странице размещения в Европе регионе и то, что я есть? ничего! 0-3 членов в моей комнате даже я сделать обратный отсчет для запуска золота шоу. действительно, может быть, СМ не хотят, чтобы купить traffic в будущем? я хочу плакать. SM to do new upgrade- to do new option for models record video for FREE. for what men can see video FOR FREE , even model not online. why SM do it? why SM dont buy traffic better? why? it is really strange. SM do all what dont help for more good work. SM kill site!

I understand how you feel. I have a few regulars like that that have disappeared for long stretches and I'm sure they find a "new favorite" Men are fickle and like a variety. I know it's hard not to take it personally. The guys make the rounds, they do. Plus, there are so many cute girls on cam, it's like an all you can eat buffet. LOL The best thing to do, is try not to worry about it and always, remember your regualars, and ALWAYS have a smile and a friendly tone when they return. ;-)

I don't like with apple if you wanna update something, you need to buy a new mac all together. I like being able to go into my tower and adding new graphic cards and video. Cards. I like being able to get into my computers insides.
Thats why I finished building my own last week, It's an i5 more powerful than 99% of the i7

I'd love to build one! But for me it wasn't an option but I still got a brand new still in the box I5 touchscreen Acer for $200 from my local pawn shop. I tell everybody to go check the ones closest to the prisons unfortunately people pawn amazing things to get people outta jail.

Thank you Jess for taking the time to respond. I feel so much better hearing "don't worry about it" because quite frankly, I'm a chronic worrier that I didn't do something right. I know the customer tried connecting but couldn't due to technical difficulties. But, this doesn't make or break me. After I lost the 15 min block, I ran a gold show and made the same amount I would've made in that block session. I'm realizing we are not in control of all these customers and SM technical
difficulties. But, the show must go on and the only thing I can do is to SMILE and not let these set backs define my shift. Thank you Jess

Another Glitch... When trying to kick someone it doesnt work.. but in reality it is working but slowly? the popup didnt come till i was in an exclusive and i didnt get the popup to accept a video... normally this custy does turn on his video but never got anything until... the pop up for blocking someone finally came up and cleared.. i actually had to refresh my screen to get everything normal again.. so i wouldnt block unless you really have to, i couldn't start a gold show, go on break or anything while that pop up was there.. and it didn't clear right away after I clicked the yes to block

Yep! It's not worth it to lose your shit. I took like half of last month off on SM cause it was driving me nuts. Now guys on other sites drive me nuts, but at least it's not the glitches or the money!!!

Yeah, I remember when I was a stripper a really good customer (big time tipper) would go through his flavor of the week. One week it was my turn, then the next it wasn't. So I know the feeling. But on a lighter note as far as camming goes, it seems those 15 min block regulars do come back. the glitches suck, and I feel for the guys when they can't connect. I've lost a few exclusives, thought the guy just left after a minute was pissed, then they came back into my room wondering why they were booted. I'm all about customer service, and those things bother me. You're welcome xoxo

Talking to one of my regs yesterday about the glitches. He told me he doesn't buy into Gold
Shows anymore because they always take his money and he never gets to see the show. He plays on an Ipad. On a positive note when he took me exclusive the Limbo glitch happened and I used the break button trick and actually had an awesome block session!! ThXXX ladies!! #camgirllove #makeitrain

Did everyone else get the message from support with the new survey? I'm racking my brain trying to think of another suggestion for useful reports. I feel like there's something I'm forgetting.

I had a random new guy pay $50 into my $6 gold show tonight and during the whole thing he was in and out. He never said anything even though I asked him his name, so not sure if it was a glitch or he just had money to burn. I did have one guy leave a private after he said my cam was frozen :(

I too answered their questions then i was thinking about what other reports i might find useful but i was in a rush and not in the mood to think that deep at the moment so i sent the thing and that's it. Too many things i want haha...

I told them I want an average for gold shows and one for favorites (how many I get every month/week) and what percentage of my favorites turned into a customer during time. That's all I could think for the moment. Maybe we should send Liz/Vanessa to the topic where we talked about new features.

Social Media Tip: Cammodels
Many of you use social media to promote your shows, and we think that's great! Social media is a great way to be available to your fans and connect with other performers. Did you know you can also use social media to increase your profits? When sending a link to your Streamate profile, don't forget about your Cammodels link! If a brand new user signs up for Streamate from your Cammodels page, you will earn a portion of whatever they spend on the site, even part of what they spend on other performers. This is our way of thanking you for drawing in new members! You can read more information on the Cammodels help page.

^^ Got that in the SM October News Updates mail. I can just see a bunch of models getting confused and promoting their Twitter/Instagram and getting suspended. So, I'm guessing that saying, "I have social media," is a fine phrase to promote that you have it, however, directly saying your actual social media username and sites is not OK?

More likely, you are allowed to use your cammodel link on social media but you can't tell your room that you have social media. If you ask SM support, you'll probably get conflicting answers as well.

I haven't filled it out yet. Same suggestions with no changes on their end. And we all have great ideas! One thing I did find odd and would mention, why in their message did they so freely mention social networking and social media, and the fact that we all use them, but we still can't mention god forbid Twitter while on cam?? Maybe I'll suggest that whoever wrote that part should be suspended.

In the survey I told them I'd like to see mobile vs. computer users. I feel that most of the viewers are mobile and can't view us properly, hence the lack of traffic/disconnects lately. It would at least be nice for support to be able to view so they can see the issues are with the mobile users. I really hope they put some work into that!

yes, that really threw me for a loop that they even brought that forbidden subject up. (every little part of anything is always mis-understood. It's human nature when a hundred different models read it, it's read a hundred different ways) Such lame antiqued way to run things. (and I do love SM and a lot they offer) but this is 2015 everyone has twitter and other camsites are so okay with it. It's just so strange not to be allowed to mention it. And when THEY'RE on Twitter...oooookay. They need to take a deep breath and open those doors to a whole new world.

that open letter to Liz thread, towards the end we all mentioned little things we would change. Maybe we should all consider a group letter and just email it in to Vanessa? I friendly letter listing all the ideas and suggestions we have. ? I deal with Vanessa when I need answers and she's a very sweet and straight shooting woman. I'll sign my signature the size of John Hancock.

You were right! He came back last night, requested a 15 min block and successfully connected! I was so happy and thought of you. Thank you once again xoxo

Please forgive me if this has already been covered in this thread - I ran a search but didn't find the specific answer...

I'm thinking about signing up for TV gold shows but haven't so far because I try to be under the radar as much as possible with camming. For a TV gold show, where is the show actually then broadcasted? Does SM record and then sell to PPV porn channels or tube sites, or do they have their own PPV/premium cable channel or what?

Yep, Saturdays suck during college football afternoons. All those rich college alumni, and the current students, following their team on TV. It's a seasonal blight on our biz =p

Plus the weather up and down the East Coast is stormy, so everyone is at home, less available for some quality beat-off alone time by themself.

@Joykitten I use geoblock and went to settings and removed free chat as an option. Does that mean I'm members only?
I've also started promoting myself on Twitter, because I need to. but I'm super cautious, I don't show my face in my profile, I only log on from 1 computer and I use a VPN app. Ugh not looking forward to the day the people at work see i'm a camgirl. awkwarddd
