If you bring up cmd and type tracert Streamate.com
It will tell you how fast each point you have to jump through is

The first bit to get the USA. Is only 28ms. ping. Delay
This is fine. You are in USA at this point
Its the next 2 that are an issue. They climb to 95. Then 139 ping.
We cannot control how the data crosses the sea. Unless we use a vpn. As that allows us to direct connect and go a different route.
Hubbie thinks most of Europe is going through that point
My ping to seattle was 160. Its now 80. He used unblock-us. That we use for multi region netflix. However he noticed they have a vpn. And a direct connection to the vpn. There is a tutorial on unblock-us how to set it up.
I hope this makes sense.

The SM Broadcaster seems to be working pretty smoothly last few days for me, hope it continues because i really like the quality of it. Thanks for mentioning that deep hope it runs smooth and glitch free when it is released for us to use. Cant wait to try it out.

When I turn my VPN on I am unable to stream out. I am able to get to the Live show page but when I press the Start My Show button I do not get the pop up with the URLS for the encoder or the prompt to start the brodcaster. Any idea why?

Hey ladies, I was wondering for those of you who have wire transfer, how long does it take to receive your deposit? My account shows it was sent today but I am just curious when I can expect to see it in my account?

Reg came on again and pre paid a zero show. I made more in tips for doing it free to watch than I do in a $1 goldshow buy in. Wtf. Plus what he paid me on top.
I got lucky as a whale came in my first ever and had a 36min show. The traffic makes no sense. its so random. now my data is not going through colarado data centre and through Bahamas to california its solved loads of issues and streams much better. hubbie is trying to write a guide but its hard to simplify. Involves unblock-us service for multi region netflix and using their included Vpn. So you go through different points around the world avoiding bad data points.
I really hope it picks up for you all tonight xx
That's why I love Hola.

Had to stop 28 shows and I just cant do anymore. Site was smooth tonight as well.
Its also the main payday for the easter bank holiday. 4 day weekend for most workers. but its also a holiday season where many go away for a bit.
Dont know but would love to what the USA pay cycles are like. Because we pay bills with direct debit 28th is the last day of the month for pay.

Usa here has various pay schedules weekly biweekly monthly salaries, just depends on the job and company you work for. I hope that helped if i answered what you were asking.

Its a big help. Started noting down usernames and how much they spend at what time of the month. So I can hopefully work out if they have money or not. I dont mind just chatters.
Only bad thing about last night was a guy who wanted me to verbally abuse him. Hubbie wrote me some stuff down incase I ever got a show like that. The guy cryed and logged off. Wtf actually blubbed down the phone and on c2c. I dont know if he enjoyed it or not. Or if it was too much for him. :-(

After selecting 'Start my show', on the bottom right, click on the phone icon, select your phone number which is stay private, select if you want to accept calls in private or exclusive then click okay.

How do you do phone calls on here.. I see the feature but it won't let me...it says "if you accept calls, select your phone number" so the arrow menu won't let me it keeps just showing "I cannot take calls now"... Is that something like Gold shows where it has to be enabled??
** NEVER MIND... I Figured it out.. Had to go to my settings first**

Why can't model support be live like customer support? My husband setup an account and I fiddled with it. Looks like they get live support. Also it showed I was in private when I wasn't to him.

Someone encourage me to be on SM while I'm doing indie. I haven't logged in, and have been missing out on cash because I HATE sitting there attempting to look pretty while bored. Tips on how to fill the time while you wait on shows would be appreciated. My room is SLOW, so I do not do gold shows. I tend to get guys who prefer exclusives and blocks. One time, I saw this woman doing squats the whole time she waited--my quads and glutes hurt just watching.

I literally just stumbled on this vid today. It is geared more towards MFC girls, but it still had some good advice and reminders. For me splitcamming helps, listening to music, having fake conversations so I appear engaged if anyone walks in my room. I've noticed if I am praising somebody for showing me such a good time, or overall just saying positive things about the guys who come see me (even if I am talking to myself) I tend to do better. I try to not stop entertaining even if nobody is watching - I am not perfect at that yet but I practice and try not to look bored. I just watched some recordings of me on streamate from the broadcaster record option and holy fetch that changed everything. I realized I need to slow my movements the fuck down, I need to speak up and quit mumbling, take more time. I didn't realize how in a rush I tend to look, and how often my eyes are darting around to check my cam image instead of just focusing on the cam itself. Basically I put a lot of energy into looking like I am on even when the room is dead, and it IS exhausting.
Sorry I went off on a tangent there. :writing::hyper::hyper::hyper:

I saw that as well. I noticed some of the rooms are setup the same. I assumed that those models worked in a studio and the studio watermarked the feeds.

If you participated in the contest, check your earnings report for bonus pay adjustments -- I noticed mine today.
(I only got a bonus for the first night, which I'm pretty happy about, but the second night was a total joke for me.)
Congrats to all the winners :D
How do you do that? Where does it show earnings & bonus day adjustments?

Does anyone still run the legacy HD settings with the Adobe encoder since the hd720 ones came out? I am wondering what the placement difference is on the site (do you lose pages or rows?) between the recommended legacy settings and the new recommended 720 settings. My cpu is really struggling with 720, and I'm afraid it's going to fry my computer lol in addition to providing choppy video. Yes, I will upgrade my equipment as soon as possible, but I need to get through the next few months with what I have before I'll have enough funds to upgrade. I can't really check on myself because of geoblocking, hence the asking.

Free chat is party chat that's just what we call it ...when your not getting paid ur in free chat or partychat...and no you don't get paid during a gold show countdown ,you only get paid for what u earn on the gold show and you don't get that unless you do and finish the gold show ...If you can clearly they don't get charged

I can tell you a round about figure as I've made and know a bunch of girls who have made top ten ...Ill just do this ,these were my positions in all the contests I have done and how much I've earned to get them... These are all my % of the cutt also
3rd place 2 times with 1400 to 1500 on a 1 day contest.
2nd place on a 2 day contest with 2800
4th with 1500 in a 1 day contest
So on the average to win a 1 day you prolly need to make around 1800 to 2k top ten you would need around 1200 to 2k for one day!

I'm really sorry to ask such a newb question and not sure if it should be in Hyori's splitcam thread but I'm planning to work SM tonight, splitting with AW via verysoft with my new Logitech BCC950 conference cam. I checked the cam last night on skype and justcamit and it looked fine, but i briefly opened SM & JCI together with verysoft and the pic was really laggy. I have fast upload and an i7 with loads of ram. So what are the best settings for me to use as in picture size, max bandwith etc, and what are the best settings for the SM encoder/ broadcaster thingy to ensure I have good quality and pref HD on both sites? x

If u want to do any kind of well on sm you can't use any split cam software.I tell girls this all the time yet they don't listen and I know what I'm saying here lol.

I am able to splitcam no problem using the recommended settings. I am not sure if this advice will be helpful but have you tried different browsers when splitcamming? I notice if I use the same browser for all the sites I am splitcamming on, I face more issues especially when it come to the mic.
As far split camming on Streamate, I have no problem being able to give site equal attention to all the sites. It makes my room seem more busy and upbeat instead staring at the camera being quiet when one of my rooms are empty or people have no interested in talking. If people cancel splitcam on MFC and other token sites with some success, you can easily do it private based sites.

I wouldn't do it. Just because some get away with it, doesn't mean you will. You know what I'm saying? Just my 2 cents.:twocents:
Or, just email Liz and if she says you can then do it. Just make sure to save her reply email if u get suspended.

Here's Vanessa from SM recruiting's video about gold shows:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?noapp=1&v=mXnPOEVUiGM&lc=ER2zJ4yA8uDELqpv6x3jDrGY7eGVaWJTrEtmouecJGg
The info about running shows starts at around 8 minutes in.
You're paid a fixed amount per customer who joins the show, which you can set, and any additional tips throughout. Customers may join after your show has already started. You set your goal to start the show on the far left, your show duration in the middle, and your pre-show countdown on the right. You may choose to start the show before you hit goal, or after. When 90 seconds remain in your countdown, a new window will pop up allowing you to start or cancel the show. If you don't start the show, it will automatically cancel when the timer runs out if you do not reach your goal.
