Question, I was offline for a while, now today I went back down to 4 stars, I had 0 hours for the past 90 days due to shit going on. Thats the norm, right you go back down to 4, because I have no bad ratings? I know stupid question...thanks ladies

Me too, and after such a great last shift as well. It sucks :(

Wonder if being down at 4 stars will lose my top spot position when I'm online?

I had a drop to 4 stars after not being online for months and it didnt really affect my placement. My placement dropped a little after not being on so longs but only by a few rows, I was really surprised it didnt drop more.

hey everyone, do you know if blocking a customer off a private can lead to a drastic drop in payment? my last pvt before my break I blocked because of rudeness before even 3 minutes, and when I came back after lunch I am about 6th row in my category, instead of row 1 or 2 where I always find myself. The rest of my stats is fine.

I thought we could block freely if customers made us uncomfortable but I'm starting to get an anxiety attack, the dead was dead anyway with good placement....

thanks in advance to any insight you might have.

No, blocking someone has nothing to do with it.

My placement has been randomly dropping, then righting itself over and over. Maybe that's happening to you too. I sent a troubleshooting report.

Just had it happen. I checked my ranking and it had 31.2 for framerate instead of the usual 99.9 one has when using SMB. Whatever they're using to identify the encoding software must be acting up.

Thanks everyone for your answers, and I apologize for my atrocious writing yesterday.

Like everyone said, my placement stayed low for about 20 minutes and then went back to normal. Ohwell. Like you also said, it is what it is and we must flow with it. I'm just really glad it wasn't because of my blocking, because that's one of the pleasures I enjoy the most during my day! when a creep earns my boot in his ass!

It totally had me shit bricks, too. I upped my price recently so my paid chat time dropped like 1/3 while earnings went just a tiny bit up, and I thought the low paid time percentage had killed my placement. But then it was back to normal.

Definitely a drop in the calibration leads to an immediate drop in placement, I had it happen the other day without my noticing and that's why I usually check as soon as I open the broadcaster in case it has screwed up. But yesterday everything was working ok. Resetting my modem seemed to do the trick.

I'm very lucky to rarely get streaming issues but whenever I do, rebooting my modem/router almost always does the trick. It's vital to restart your modem/router every shift you work.

Of course there will be a Memorial Day contest. Sigh.

I got in touch with a tech person from SM about why my Broadcaster is not working. (I've been using the old Encoder). Every time I use the Broadcaster, my CPU and FPS are all over the place.

He said (and I still chuckle about this) that my blinds are why my number are all over the place. My blinds.

He also said that we cannot have anything else running when we are camming. No Facebook. No Twitter. No CNN. No TMZ. Nothing. I usually have other things going because I like to read while sitting in an empty room, a room full of no talkers, or a room full of popper in and outters. So, I just have to basically sit and stare at my monitor for the duration of my camming and twiddle my thumbs.

The other thing he said was that my room was dark, which is complete bullshit. I have a light behind my monitor, a light overhead and a light behind me.

He said that my computer might not be able to handle the software. I actually just bought this laptop to cam with. It's powerful as fuck.

I will just keep using the Encoder. I can't deal with the bullshit excuses for the software not working.

I disagree with the tech on browsing the net for simple stuff like facebook, twitter, etc as long as you don't do things that take up a lot of your bandwidth then you should be fine but I do agree with him on lighting. If you don't have enough light that will affect the quality of you stream greatly. Try some LED lights.

My computer could more than handle the Broadcaster but I still prefer the Encoder (FMLE). Use whatever works for you.

Sorry if this question has been asked before. I couldn't find a recent answer (also a little drunk now). I just switched to firstchoice card and is using it the first time to receive payment from SM. The payment has been sent out for last week. How long does it take for the fund to show on my card? I've been logging into my firstchoice account non stop today....

MissYolanda

I am Canadian and for the first time ever @Firstchoicepay has lost 2 payments of mine in a row. My bank had never received these payments or rejected them, and now I am two payments behind on my paycheck. Funny thing is I didn't change the deposit to go into my bank- I always get payments on my firstchoicebank card. Needless to say I have to start getting cheques mailed to Canada from SM and stop receiving payments with Firstchoice as they have been very poor at communicating what they intend on doing to get my money back. Really disappointed and now it looks to be about 3-4 weeks before I will receive my money if I receive it at all. They did admit to having issues with Canadian accounts but did encourage me to continue receiving payments. Not sure if this helps,- hope you are able to get this worked out for yourself better than I have <3 Cheers

05-25-2017, 12:38 PM
Oh wow I'm sorry that happened to you! I've had bad experience with them too but I need the money faster that's why I'm using the card for the first time. Seems to be a big mistake... I hope they get here shi* together and give you the payment soon!

whass is dis new 'Room occupancy trend' bullshit I'm seeing on the top of the broadcasting window?! I didn't notice it when I was camming earlier? Has it been there for awhile??
I hope it translates to useful information later, but for now it's not helping with my anxiety. It shows right now there are 7 viewers in my room, but no one in Guest Chat.... awesome. Seeing it dip and crash is kind of a hoot too! /s

Yep I see it too. It kind of makes me happy to see there are potential customers watching. I wonder what sites they watch from.

My spidey senses are tingling. I'm thinking SM is going to throw up a pop-up contest. We better get this Memorial Day cash, early!

I would like to know also. *Just a reminder for anyone who usually gets checks from SM that arrive on Mon ( U.S. girls).
No mail will be delivered that day, due to the memorial day holiday.

whass is dis new 'Room occupancy trend' bullshit I'm seeing on the top of the broadcasting window?! I didn't notice it when I was camming earlier? Has it been there for awhile??
I hope it translates to useful information later, but for now it's not helping with my anxiety. It shows right now there are 7 viewers in my room, but no one in Guest Chat.... awesome. Seeing it dip and crash is kind of a hoot too! /s

Oh wow are they going to go the MFC route eg. Most popular room?

It was a self-updating graph that showed up in a popup, like the notes, and it self-updated every 15 secs or so. It showed a count for 'Potential members', another for 'Members in Guest Chat' and 'Members in paid chat' in three different colors. I was having an abysmal day so 0-2 people in the room, but apparently they were up to 10 'potential customers' in there. /shrug. I try to keep in mind that I'm always being watched, but this just triggers me in weird ways. I hope there's a useful way to work it if/when it comes back.

I wonder if they're thinking about sharing traffic data the way MFC does?

You get the stream key from your broadcast page(streamatemodels.com/flash/) like you do with the Adobe flash encoder.....i.e. start my show (make sure external encoder is selected from the quality drop down). The streaming codes expire after each time you stream so when you need to broadcast again you click start show and then copy and paste the codes into the broadcast setting on OBS.

t/y Blovely - sorry for the delay. I haven't been around much.

Why SM can't just tell me this I don't know <sigh>

You girls are MUCH smarter than they are :(

Next time I work Streamate I think Im gonna make a preset that says "Please for the love of God switch to Internet Explorer so you may see my true Goddess Beauty" "Disclaimer, if you're using Chrome I swear to you I don't look this bad. Try IE"

Are the Chrome issues fixed now?

No one who cares about security or HATES MS uses IE (me included of course) :(

After I moved this week the CPU on SMBroadcaster is really high. I can't really afford to work from page 3 or 4 forever so I'm trying to figure out why. I have a backup laptop and it seems to be doing it on there too so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the lighting in my new room but I'm not sure why it'd make any difference as I'm still using my professional lights from behind my cam. Is it even possible for it to do that?? I'm so confused and need your guidance!!
