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
Can anyone help please?

SMbroadcaster will calibrate itself ( to the res and bandwidth supported by your cam/system/connection) but you can`t use a splitter.
With FMLE you can use a splitter. I have it set to
[email protected] and 2000 bitrate.
You can set it yourself or download the file from sm .
Your system is enough to split aw+sm , I don`t know about your connection.I am able to split sm+aw at 1280x720 with an i5 so if your connection is good enough, you shouln`t get any lag.

Thank you hun. I'm wondering if the lag i see on my own screen is really what guys will see. So frustrating lol, i can see it taking hours to work this out.

It probably is. As I don`t see any lag on my screen.
You can check your own room, if you have geo block enabled, use your cm link and you get to see from the customer side.
The set up is easy and you really shouldn`t encounter any issues with your pc specs and if you have a good upload speed.
If you`re going to use encoder tick the drop frames or degrade quality box and encoding log will show you if something is wrong by dropping frames or lowering bitrate.

You'll need at least 1k per day to make top 10. Last contest I made top, I was around 2k for the two days. This brought me to #7.
Also, drinking on cam... unless you're one of SM's favorite models I wouldn't risk it. Put it in a mug or sip out of view. Totally not worth your job.

For the contest - I believe this time around the lowest level that got a prize ($25) was about $250-300 on one of the days.
Re: drinking, I legit didn't even know that was a rule until now. Of course whatever I'm sipping, be it water or wine, is always out of view because I set it on my dresser where my cam is.

Not to be rude, but this is pretty basic and easy to find stuff. Just because you're "still a newbie" doesn't mean you can't do your own research. If you haven't already, you should read through this entire thread, as well as everything on the aforementioned help site.
Umm... Ok
Question was already answered so.... Uncalled for.. Your acting like a whole new thread was created calm tf down.. I'll ask what I wish #NEXT..

Um, I'm quite calm, thanks. Sorry for being blunt in my post; I only said that because it's generally frowned upon to use the thread for basic questions that have readily available answers. The SM help site is something every newbie should read in its entirety, as it will likely answer the majority of your questions.
I get it.. I just see ppl be real mean to some of the new girls who are just confused & asking simple questions which is really dumb like ok because we have alllll been new at one point of time thrown to wolves & have to learn everything on our own. I know how to use the search feature, I use it all the time. Sometimes I just really hate digging through all those old threads.... Anyway *squashed*.... No argument, just a misunderstanding.

Agreed. PS Also the search feature is NOT that great. I have tried to use it multiple times for more specific Qs and come up with jack. (Or like, the entire MFC thread. Oh gee thanks.)

Cut to : You coming back on here saying you got suspended for drinking on cam.
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.
Lol! just a question I had considering I've see at least half a dozen rather popular models do so. Wasn't planning on getting MFC style shots selling wasted. :p

I have a similar issue. I get complaints every day they can't hear me, that it is very low. I don't see any settings to raise the volume beyond where it is at.

Hello I am wondering if anyone knows when Fed-Ex payments normally come in? I just had to switch to Fed ex as my accounts do not accept wire transfer and rejected them. If the payment is sent Thursdays, when can I expect fed ex to deliver? Also do they come to my door and I have to sign for it?

Does anyone get daily time online report glitches? The day before yesterday was accurate. Yesterday I logged in to check my %paid rate, did another show, rechecked it and it didn't count my minutes online that time. I rechecked it today, still no different.

Yes, whenever you open a new account everything resets and you get the visibility of a new model etc.

Does anyone know if SM is still not allowing voyeur accounts?

Does any know if SM is still not allowing voyeur accounts?
Last I heard they weren't. I bitched to SM about getting disconnected during a 5 hour sleep voyeur goldshow (I lost out on about $28) and they told me I should not be doing voyeur shows anyway, as they were "not appropriate" for my customers. So...yeah.
^^^ But there are some people who still do voyeur shows from what i saw on SM, maybe not sleeping but doing something else in the shows?
I asked about these v.shows too a while ago and nobody answered. I am confused tho if they dont allow voyeur accounts where u only host voyeur shows or they dont even allow a gold show that is voyeur type hosted on ur normal account? I dont remember if the models i saw on SM were camming with a 'regular' account or specifically voyeur account.

Anyone else having issues staying connected tonight - I mean people who don't normally? I almost never have connection problems but I've been getting continuously kicked off tonight after a couple of minutes. Only about 1100 models on right now, seems a bit low...?

Well.... I could not stay connected earlier.... cursed SM to bits.... I have 18 up, 36 ping, business class, wired, one stream, CPU at 46%, lighting on point... my tech 100% legit or so I thought!!! I get disconnected, move my laptop and the entire Ethernet port fell out! I ran to Best Buy and got a USB Ethernet connector/adapter for $20 and no issues.

I was having issues last night as well. While I didn't disconnect, someone went to private and I heard the ding and their name appear in the right hand of the screen, but nothing was showing up in the paid chat box at all saying that people had logged in or out or what they were saying. I was just hoping they were seeing me okay and I'm guessing so as they stayed for six minutes. But it was weird getting zero feedback and I missed doing someones basic request that I would have done otherwise. As soon as paid chat stopped all their messages they'd written throughout the private showed up.

I don't know if someone has mentioned this in here. If so, I'm sorry to bring it up again.
I just saw today a "Pay Adjustments" in my earnings. Not because of the contest, I got my Pay Adjustments for the event prizes last week. This is a new one. I clicked on it and it said:
Type: Advanced Compensation
Reason: VIP user "x" gave you this gift
Amount: $X
Is Streamate finally allowing offline tipping or is this my first gift tip in 4 years?

Guuuurl don't get my hopes up. I remember sending support a message requesting offline tipping years ago and all they said was that they'd forward the request to the right department. I'd be so fucking happy if we finally have offline tipping.

Idk, I'm kind of confused myself... If this was a new thing I think they would send an inbox letting us know... Anyway, I attached a screenshot of what I received (don't know if it attached right). I don't know if anyone else has received one of these. I can't check if customers have an offline tipping option since I don't have a customer account. Maybe one of you can check.
^^^ This looks nice plus the VIP user status, what is that?
It does something to us or is just a status members have on site, nothing to influence their presence in our rooms?
Or maybe just VIPs can tip offline? Yes pls share babes, i also dont & cant have a member account xx

Wait. Its a long shot but was it "sammy" who gave you the "gift" ?
Tatti_D
04-04-2016, 11:18 AM
Yup, really bizarre... What seems most strange, apart than the fact that it's an offline tip on SM, is I got 25 dollars. That means, for a 30% benefit, he must have tipped 83.33333 Golds for me to get exactly 25. Idk, I already wrote Liz, just waiting for her response. I'll let you know...
It wasn't "sammy". To tell you the truth, it wasn't even one of my regulars... Well, I think I remember him being in some of my Gold Shows but I know others would have done this before him if they knew about it existed as an option. Maybe it's a VIP user type of option... Didn't know that VIP users existed.
Seems not very smart to me that if they are accepting this type of offline tipping, not to do it openly for every customer and every model... They allow every guy that has an account to tip, no questions asked, why not allow every guy to tip offline? More money for them, more money for us.
I mean thanks for the tip! Awesome! But now that we know it's possible, that they have developed a way to make it possible, why not go all the way and for everyone?
Anyway, if SM just created the option and are testing it out, great and thanks! Hope to see it working soon!

Ok, all cleared up. Support replied. They told me it's a one time thing they are doing for their VIP customers. They offer those VIP customers to pick their 4 favorite models and they reward those models with 25 dollars. That's all... I don't know what constitudes a VIP customer. I imagine the ones that have 500+ or 1,000 dollar daily limit.
That's too bad... Got all excited about the whole offline tipping thing.
