Is the consensus to use the HMLE instead of SM Broadcaster then? I haven't been approved by SM but when (or if) I do, I've been wondering which one to use. I went perving on other models and I can't load the streams of some of the ladies while on mobile, I assume because they must be using the broadcaster.

Today I could use the pause trick to get rid of the black screen plague via FMLE, on the crapcaster I could not.
It was great the first week it worked for me, now it's giving me the black screen of doom, nuppeeeeeee, no thank you!

I would test out both and use which ever works best for you. Rooms not loading isn't dependent on what broadcaster a model uses its a mobile issue on SM's end that they have yet to fix.

yeah exactly what Blovely said. :) For me, the SM Broadcaster works great, and people couldn't see me before I had it. It just depends.

SM doesn't give you that much time to chuck your clothes back on after privates eh? This is my first day there.... perhaps I'll start getting faster at getting my clothes back on as time goes on! But for now I keep having to log off shows.

Just step off cam or tilt the cam up so you aren't in view til you're dressed.

Like Solo said just tilt the camera up at the ceiling or tilt it up so that only your face is showing. You can also request the break button so that you can pause your stream.

I shot some "intermission" videos to play. They run about 3 or 4 minutes each. I also run a slow text crawl at the bottom of the video.
"Just finished a private show......I will return after this video.....Before I come back check out my profile, photos and free sample videos....You get a better deal if you buy a 15 or 30 minute block of time!"
I got suspended for having "Follow me on Twitter!" LOL. Only for a day.

12-08-2015, 10:22 PM
How do you do that? I saw a girl with a text scroll at the bottom of her cam while she was in free a couple days ago and thought that was so cool, but I have no idea how to do that. What do you mean intermission vids?
ETA: Also, how in the heck do you sell videos on SM? Or even do free sample videos? It seems like I'm way behind the times. My roomie wants to know too. We are clueless lol

Anyone have any advice on getting the SM Broadcaster to calibrate without crashing other than "just keep trying". Lol. I've been trying everyday for 2 weeks. I really don't want to have to deal with support. Ugh!
I am also having a same problem, for 2 weeks i am trying , i have also reported a bug but nothing changed so far.:O

I shot my own music videos. You can use any video. You will need ManyCam software. When the private show ends you switch cameras to the one holding the videos. There is a feature on ManyCam that will create the text crawl. It is not difficult at all. The software is only $30 bucks I think. You will need to buy the software or it will always show their logo on cam. Depending on your computer and the number of 3.0 USB ports you can add cameras and switch them manually. I have 5 different views with 5 different cams. All 920's. I worked with a software programmer and we crossed the Manycam software with a voice recognition software so I can change cams by calling them out. Got the bugs worked out of it and it works great for the most part. Sometimes they dont listen to me. lol. SM lets you put free videos on your profile. You can't sell them on SM at least not that I know of. SM also will record parts of your exclusives and sell them without telling you. You have to complain and they will take them down. So I have short videos of different things I can do in a show. No nudity or copyrighted music is allowed. You just have to figure it out and test it until you get it right. There are a ton of instructional videos online that will tell you how to set it up. I had some personal videos of me and in exclusive I ask if they wanted to watch clips and a lot of the time they really do. Save wear and tear on my pussy. There is no way I can explain all of the things you can do with different cams and videos. Sky is the limit. Hope this helps. Good luck!!

^^^ You can sell videos on SM as long as you are giving them direct download links to the videos and not sreleasing any personal information. I confirmed this with support about 4 months ago when I started offering videos and this is what they told me.

I need to try manycam. I see a lot of girls using it, and one of my goals for the new year is to promote myself better by using watermarks or some kind of ticker tape. I've heard nothing but good things about Manycam. I'm such an old dog and hate learning new tricks. One reason I'm still using the encoder, but hey, if it ain't broke.

I thought I've seen some girls sell videos on their SM profile.?? I'm pretty sure I've seen it, but it's been awhile since I snooped....I mean looked around at model's profiles. But with such a low payout, would it even be worth it? ^ oh okay, I've read Webcamcutie's post. How are you doing with that?

The ones for sale in their profiles are put there by SM and we don't get a cut of that. Most of us use ProjectMaenad to sell videos. Here's the thread on it. https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?192827-Project-Maenad-LAUNCHED!-Secure-file-sharing-for-camgirls!

It definitely has made an improvement for me, I sell any older content or pre-recorded videos for a reasonable and not too low of a price, but sometimes the cheapo guys will take off, customs I sell for a lot more and its upp'd my gold contributions monthly. Some days when its slow I make more selling videos then I do in pvt, which is bad, thats how it feels a few days this week, haha.

OMG!!! Theres a huge lag on SM .All my pvts and goldshows are showing up in freechat!!!
Interesting email sm support just sent, look up ur inboxes babes, it's about bonus placement for HD720 starting dec 15th but more interestingly i read they plan to introduce 1080HD soon? That is a huge resolution, i'll test it out of curiosity to see how my i5 desktop pc & connection can handle it but God, 1920×1080 is pretty large one.
Anyway, i wish the SM broadcaster would work smoother for me here & not slightly jumpy like now when i cant use it cause of this issue.

Noticed that too. For ladies who haven't seen it yet, this is the section Kat is referencing: "If you need to upgrade your camera, look for one that can stream at 1920×1080 to make sure you're ready for HD1080 video in the future!"
Since there isn't a date or a direct statement that they intend to do an HD1080 rollout in the email, I'm guessing this is one of SMs 'when we get around to it' To-Do List items. Hopefully, anyway. Pretty much all of my equipment could handle it no problem except for my monitor. Poor thing barely has room to fit the HD720 preview in the encoder at 25% next to the SM chat window, and I'm not in the market for a new one with higher resolution yet! lol

It's actually smart that SM is encouraging and rewarding high definition streaming...it means SM takes up way more broadband and resources so you can no longer splitcam comfortably. Bastards.

STAY AWAY from brianlust. His name is Patterson and he is a pedophile. He wants you to talk blasphemy because that leads you into talking shit about Jesus. Then he will ask you to sing Jesus loves the little children. He used to come see me on kink and he tries to steer you into talking about kids. Report him!

I just did my first 5 minutes o' camming, on SM. Having a handful of people be in the room silently looking at me without talking made me more nervous than I thought it would...and then I got disconnected from SM. What the shit. I checked my room on my phone, and it said I was in a private show. O.o

Yes, that has happened! It's something models who so are busy making money do, ya know? Like taking their fellow cam models private to rate her 1 star. 1 star is actually pretty generous. If they could rate 0/zero star they would!

So, I emailed Liz to find out why I had not gotten a tv broadcast. This was the response:
"Ok just verified everything is great. Your settings are fine, nothing wrong at all. Said they are being more specific about who they are running but will keep you queued up!"
So, I'm not good enough? Like, what the fuck is "more specific"?? I'm fucking livid right now.

Yea i agree about brianlust. He will not stop asking he has even changed his name before awhile back wish i remembered it but he did the same crap every time he comes in. I have even blocked him and he still comes in, drives me nuts haha.. he took me pvt once tried to get me to do the roleplay but i told him no and banned him yet he still has a way to come back in the room after many attempts to block him. So now when he comes in i just say no brian dont ask me im not doing your fetish and he leaves haha..

Not a dam thing. Sometimes they're popping in and out to check prices, to see if there are any freebies in your room, or because of glitches. I just sit, smile and chair dance. If only a few are popping and in out I'll send them a text from my presets that says "hi, hru?" and that's about it. When a bunch are popping in and out I don't even select the preset I will just wait until a guy stays in my room before I say "Hi". Once I see that they stay I will start a convo with them and try to get them to spend $$$.

12-11-2015, 12:26 AM

Another question: when your countdown is up there in the right hand corner, then it hits the camera, your streaming alright simple enough for me to guess (damn will it be embarrassing if I'm wrong on that part) alright, when that whole section disappears, and then a couple minutes later it starts your count down over again, is it safe for me assume that'se getting kicked off or disconnected?

And I'm glad I seen this shit earlier, I didn't get dude in my room but it kind of just got me to where if anyone brings up kids to tall about I'm blocking him. Like one guy tonight started talking about his 12 year old niece, like ok cool you baby sat her, but then his next shit was about how she is turning into a women, could have been innocent but aftrr seeing these posts on this sick fuck I just blocked guy. That shit infuriates me and makes me sad and if it would have gotten anywhere near that ball park, it would have totally thrown me off and I would have logged off.
Also...with brain, blasphemy gets him off? Like, straight up just talking shit about jesus? Because if so, cudos AF making him pay for worship lol But STRAIGHT THE FUCK UP in the whole 2 days I've been camming I've come across quite a few new fetishes I was never aware of....my god NEVER aware could be a fetish...
