Hello. Recently, I have been getting TV Broadcast requests, or something like that. Either with message that I don't allow them currently, or with an offer to accept it.
Does anyone work with it? What is it? Did I miss it mentioned somewhere?
Thanks!

The past month, my placement just seemed to get lower everytime I logged in, regardless of my ranking stats. I attributed it to my low number of hours online, although I was generally in the top 4 rows and I found myself on the bottom half of page one.
The SMBroadcaster didn't work for me the times I tried it in the past, but tonight I was so frustrated, I redownloaded it. I also generally use Firefox and I switched to Chrome. After doing those two things, I shot back up to the second row.
So if you are having placement issues, try the Broadcaster again and try a different browser. I'm not sure which one fixed my issue, but I am happy it did!

Does anyone know why I can't see myself on the main pages?
I do not have geoblock on. I also 'allow' non-paying members into my free chat room.
So why can't I see myself?...

For anyone wondering why their placement is off...check your rankings and see if your hours for the last 30 days adds up. I have over 80 hrs worked and it says I only have 60 = BELOW AVERAGE. I notice my hours have not increased since December no matter how many hours I put in. I sent an email to tech about this but maybe it's not just me having this issue.

Is anyone else having this issue? This morning I had a guy try take me exclusive, I HEARD the exclusive sound but the thingy never popped up and he re-appeared in my free chat seconds later asking why I had declined. I hadn't, I just never got the actual invitation despite knowing it was there.
Also had a custie who tipped 100 Gold and took me private but couldn't find the place to rate me in terms of stars. he tried pvt twice and couldn't do it. Anyone had this?

Simone, about the rating and comment, ask how he is exiting chat. He has to hit to little x on the video to get out of private. Some guys close out of the tab or hit the back button. Some guys don't know this if they never properly exit a paid chat before.

Your traffic is a result of you being new. New girl status last a while and its best to put in all the hours you can because right now your showing front and center but if your turning that traffic into paying clients then that is all you! Guys are easily drawn to girls who are clearly enjoying themselves!
Keep it up and remember to ask everyone to add you to their Favorites and to ask all your paying clients to rate you 5 stars and leave you a comment and/or a tip because that will help to keep you placement boosted when new girl status runs out!
Thank you for the advice Deep, it is much appreciated, ive learned so much from you guys up here! ive already had some of the bs questions and a dude try to argue with me because im new and wouldnt show my tits for free!im so glad i came here first and i will try to add any insight or humor i come across to help out as well!A guy came to my room last night talking about "im a model too, ill give you a discount if you come to my room" i remember someone mentioning that in another thread,and i was like already?

That happened to me a few times, and I wrote to support about it. They just said that you have to log out and log back in and the issue should be resolved. In my case, I still get the issue once in a while...

I'd post the screen shot as proof, but yeah. Idk how.

Wait... Nevermind! I found out I was actually fooled into thinking that I was receiving tips when I wasn't. Geeze, talk about a jipper! Does anyone know how to find out if it's legitimate tips you're getting, and not some douchekabob trying to jip you for doing something for free?
Vlodina
01-14-2016, 08:20 AM
Real tips are highlighted, make a noise (if you have sounds alerts for them turned on), and they show in your earnings. You can also click on the guy's profile and see what's he's spent on you in one of the tabs. I'm not camming today but someone might post a screenshot.
A "fake" one is when a guy just types out that he tips you lol

I'm having a bit of a weird FPS issue with the broadcaster and would appreciate any insight.
I'm running Windows 10 with an i7 processor and 12GB of RAM, using a Logitech C920 cam. The broadcaster calibrates me to "Best" streaming quality. This is what it looks like while I'm live:
43956
My FPS either sits at 15 in / 15 out or 24. I don't know why it's doing this and I'm a bit concerned that it's affecting my placement although my ranking page says I'm streaming at 99.9FPS which I know ain't true, haha.
If I use VerySoft I can force my webcam to a steady 30FPS through the encoder but I'd rather not use the encoder as I can't stream in as high quality through it and it makes my computer/stream lag something awful. If I don't force the FPS it usually sits at around 25.
Do you think it could be something to do with my webcam? My computer should be well equipped to handle this but I've been using my cam to stream regularly for about 9 months now.

This may be a far reach, but have you tried adjusting the gain on your cam settings? I've noticed that if my gain is too low or too high my fps gets all messed up. Also, if I'm wearing too much black my fps will drop. I have plenty of light in my room but I'm thinking maybe the broadcaster is just uber sensitive. It wouldn't hurt to play with your settings while streaming and see if it helps! I hope it does :)

No idea if this has been discussed before but I would love the option to accept or refuse PVTs with a popup window notification similar to those we get for EXCLU. There have been a few instances this week where I've been closing in on a prospective Exclusive session with someone only to be put into regular paid chat mid-sentence with some dude who says nothing beforehand and stays in PVT for like 2 minutes, as they are wont to do.

Yeah I'd love this feature too (at least for the initial private, not necessarily for anyone else that wants to join after it already started.) Thankfully the guys in free chat don't get kicked out of the room like they do when you go exclusive. You can actually keep typing in the free chat window while you're in private, so if some random douchebag steals me away unexpectedly, I usually type something like "Be right back guys!" to the free chat, and many of them wait.

Click on the person's name, them the profile silhouette. Click Report and type that he fake tipped you. I report them and the douches get banned from the site.

I had same issue with mine when i used SMBr. support told me to make sure i dont use "right light" settings it did help it at the time. and yeah gains and such def influence fps... I have all mine webcam settings pretty much in the "middle" lol and auto focus off43960

I had this same problem as well for a while. As CocoLoca said, disabling right light, and all auto settings, as well as making sure that the camera was set to 720p mode in the Logitech software, fixed the frame rate problem. For some reason there is a bug with many of the C920s in 1080p mode.

Streamate glitchery is getting to my head... I actually had a dream (nightmare, lol) where I started a gold show and like 20 people kept getting kicked in and out over and over, and I wasn't able to turn the enter/exit noise down. I checked my earnings and still made $36. It was so realistic, I thought it actually happened until I woke up.
Side note -- last night was one of the worst Friday's I've ever had. Parts of it were fun, until there was a huge influx of "tits bb" and "do x and I'll go private" and "lower your rates for me plz" assclowns. I very rarely block people, but last night turned into a block party (har har). Took an exhausting 8 hours to hit my medium goal. Hope tonight is better.
MistressX
01-16-2016, 07:07 PM
Yup, I had that all night too. That's why I gave up after like an hour. So many idiots last night and no other traffic.. no one spending money. Today has been a little better but not by much.

I had issues too (on Thursday night)... Broadcaster not working, Gold Show 3 highest tippers not showing (to me nor to customers), Gold Show pledges appearing very late on the counter, site kicking me out during Gold Shows and Free Chat, site showing me I had 18 ppl when ppl told me there were over 100... The worst. Hope it's fixed for tonight. I took screenshots, asked customers to take them also and I sent all of it to Liz, explaining what happened. I guess if we all did that, they would have more info on what to fix.

Hi everyone :) I just got approved on Streamate and will be starting tonight! But I have a question I hope someone can help me with - I'm also a paying customer on Streamate and I noticed when some girls go to private you can still hear their audio the whole time they perform. While this is extremely hot to listen to, I personally would rather my private and exclusive shows NOT be audible to non-paying visitors. Is there a way I can customize this setting? I can't find an option for it so far. Thanks!

Ugh, no, this makes me nervous. Like Ivy said, that's not supposed to happen. I sometimes wonder if this is what's really going on when there are lots of dudes hanging out in my free chat while I'm in private...
Also as far as I know you shouldn't even be able to sit in the chatroom if a model is in exclusive.

That's weird. That shouldn't be happening. I wouldn't worry too much. Streamate is having big technical issues lately. I've experienced them too. Not that pvt stuff but other stuff. Last night I went online again and had same issues I had on thursday. I hope they fix it soon cause it's getting annoying... Don't worry, when they fix all those problems, that shouldn't happen.

Check if your IP is from your city. Sometimes the internet provider is stablished in another city so even if you're not located there, your IP address will appear to be. At least that happens with my internet provider. If not, it shouldn't be happening...
Also keep in mind that geo block means your traffic will decrease a lot. I did the geo block thing once and it was a nightmeare. You cease to appear in the site when you're on. Only your favorites can see you... At least that's what happened to me a couple of years ago.

I would say about 50% of them. From the customers end, once the girls go to private/exclusive/gold show you can no longer see anything, but about half the time the audio continues and you can hear everything they say throughout the show..I didn't realize that Streamate didn't make the girls aware of this :( I'm not sure if it's the same way for visitors who aren't signed up though, I'm a member with my credit card on file. I'm still excited to start working tonight though, I just feel a little nervous now about my private shows being listened to by everybody!

how the heck do you get 99 fps? lol mine's at 30 and I thought that was good! :D
also all this computery stuff... I must be dumb because I just dont get any of it at all lol
Yeah, I'm stumped about that, too!
^^^ It's a glitch, the numbers in there are not accurate, i stream with 2000 bit rate & it shows 1300 something, fps's are at 30 but round trip is 200+ or 300+ or 400+, it fluctuates. The parameters are not read correctly & i believe there are differences between Windows PC's and MAC's plus who knows what other things influence these numbers.
