Is there a huge placement issue if you use the SMB or just go ahead and stream off their website? Obviously you want the best placement but something is better then nothing at this point. Its like damned if you do and damned if you dont and I'm about to freak out.
I know my computer may not be the newest but I do have the C920 but the glitches with SMB are making me want to turn homicidal.
I tried OBS but I'm having issues with it connecting. I'm trying to figure out if its a firewall issue or not. I'm not techy at all. I just want to work smoothly on cam!

Here's a thread on how to use OBS https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?199503-OBS-Open-Broadcaster-Software-as-an-Alternative-to-Flash-Media-Encoder
Your placement will drop without the use of any encoder. That is for sure. But all isn't loss so long as you're in several categories. Traffic will be low but it's been down on the site for some time now. Guys who are searching for specific types (whatever that is) will still be able to find you.

is your auto adjust white balance off?
Where can I find the setting for this? Is it a setting in the smbroadcaster ?
Make sure your right light isnt check on your camera settings
Also, where do I find this setting?
I've looked and looked and can't find these settings ;(
I'm still having trouble with my fps. I tried using the old encoder (fmle) but my bitrate kept going lower and lower, so I went back to the smbroadcaster.

I'm amazed that after all this time you don't know how to adjust your camera settings? This is done with software. Do you have the logitech software downloaded to your computer?
Look at this thread on how it's done. Play around with it until it's to your liking. I'm a chocolate chick so the way her's is set up won't go over well for me. It varies from person to person. https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?208807-How-to-Soften-Your-Webcam-Stop-Looking-Washed-Out-W-White-Light-FOR-C920
Also it may be time for a new webcam. Recently I think it was you who'd asked how often they should be changed out?

I have never played around with the settings with my webcam cause I was always afraid of screwing something up ;( I am not very good when it comes to technical stuff ;( Thank u for the link to the settings tho. I just adjusted mine.
And yes I was the one asking about replacing my webcam:) I am looking into replacing mine now but I wasn't sure which one I should get? I have an Logitech 920c but I noticed that there is Logitech 922 now, so I wasn't sure which one to get? So I've been putting it off ;( Which one would be better?

I think the C920 is the better choice at the moment. Because the C922 is having compatibility issues with some programs. The 920 may be easier for you to get up and running faster.

Can someone remove a tag they gave you? I've had the same number of tags for a while now, but last night, it went down by one. Of course, it was the tag that I never understood anyway, "again". Never knew if that was good or bad, it was just confusing lol. Again what? But now it is gone.

I'm curious what the compatibility issue are with the 922. I just bought one so I'm hoping it works. Is there something I should be looking out for?

I ran into some issues with flickering with the cams.com broadcaster and one other. Cant remember at the moment? It flickers in recording software. There were some issues in the SM Broadcast as well. That could be an issue if thats your preferred encoder.

I use a 922 on sm & it works extremely well so long as your computer can handle it. my last laptop could run a c920 at 30fps with the encoder at 50% cpu's most of the time, but could not handle the c922 with the broadcaster (wouldn't register over 15fps no matter what I did). New lappy handles it well though.

Anybody else unable to start their stream at all? The SM flash page just stays on "Please click START on the broadcaster" and never loads properly and the broadcaster keeps disconnecting every 20 seconds until it finally kicks me out. This isn't good, I can't work like this.
^^^ It happened to me yes, i got online to cam and could not start my session, i freaked out, i tried both FMLE and SMB then i decided to Optimize SMBroadcaster and tried again with Best setting and it worked.
Dont know if it was a SM glitch or on my end, i was about to ask in here myself but i wanted to try all options here before i did. Good luck!

I recalibrated, didn't help. Uninstalled SMB and installed the previous version, didn't help. Recalibrated that one as well. I don't know how to pick picture quality manually, is it even possible? Mine usually calibrates to "high" or "very high".
Edit: This seriously makes me want to cry, I have no idea what to do about this.
^^^ Can it be an issue for models not in USA?! Just wondering cause i logged off here in order to cam with FMLE (at Best setting with SMB i hear my i5 desktop PC working really hard here) but then i could not get back in, i tried again SMB and after several tries i was able to stream.
Try several times one after the other!
I haaate this SMB and No, u cant manually set up streaming quality.
My connection and camera are better than my PC tho i get Optimization as Best!
Is this SMB made for i7 pc's or what?! ugggh!

Have you tried another browser?
Can someone please direct me to when on stripperweb I saw the post about not having the flash plugin to download photos on sm? I tried google searching it and I'm not getting it. I want to upload some pics so I can delete some ( so fucking stoopid- really hate that about sm). I even tried 3 different browsers. Even put into google browser to allow sm. nothing. I guess b/c it's sm it has to be fucking complicated. Arrgghhh.

Just now I checked and there were only 700 models online. I refreshed and then it said 1089. Thats a bit low for the second day in a pay period. Maybe they're doing site maintenance and failed to communicate like always.

I don't understand! I don't share any of the opinions here. Since a couple of months my hourly went from 25$ to 75$, and it keeps rising. I am making more and more money on SM, and if this trend keeps continuing I see a bright future for me there <3 Planning to have my hourly at least at 100$ before the end of the year and if this continues that would be no problem at all.
Arent you all having glitches or something? When I am glitching my hourly drops too.
I know I am going to get a lot of hate for this but the more models quit and the more other people complain the more I am making there. I don't understand either. I dont even know what I am doing right because I cam the same as I have always done, even when I was struggling.

Gonna block back my country. From what I know, blocking even one single country, blocks the guests to see you online and enter your room, only when they are logged on in their accounts can watch me (unless they enter from somewhere else). Some are lurking in freechat, with no interaction until I kick them out and they log off to lurk as guests waiting to be in private a few min so they can jump in and peep. Not gonna ease their way. And I also don;t think traffic will take such a major nose dive. Members can still interact.

hi can somebody please tell me how the pricing works for this site. what is the lowest I can set my rate to, and what is the highest? and do they go up in $1 intervals? also when the member is viewing my price does it say for example $3.99 or 3.99GOLD ? i see that people say they charging like $7.99 a minute but when I look at the site it says GOLD not $ so do you mean you charge 7.99GOLD or something? sorry ive not signed up yet because i am researching it first.
From what I can see in my account, rates start from $0.99 in increments of five cents (1.04, 1.09, 1.14, etc) up until 19.99. At the beginning you can charge max 4.99, then 7.99 and then maximum. At least, that was my case.
Members see your rates in their local currency, not in GOLD.

SM has favorites and those performers get put on the good servers and IMO its based on your appearance and your hustle . Im a 220 pound alternative BBW with a huge chest piece of a bat and my hustle is very low key i just chill and do my own thing and wait to be spoken to . Im not some 120 pound fake tittied bimbo that acts like I just did a line of coke during my entire shift . I'm not what they're looking for so I get put on the shitty servers with a feed that lags for a significant amount of time every few minutes and clears out my room and ends pvts and kills any potential chance i have at building a good fan base . Just be thankful ur being cared for and the ppl who control ur fate like you to put u where u r to make what ur making .

tonight they kept asking for a gold show and i straight up told them i am not rewarding them with a discount for lurking me and not having the manners to even greet me back but if things change and everyone stops acting like they have no home training than perhaps maybe i'll crank one out.... but na... i'll pass on that tonight all together. i raised my rates a small bit and i'm finding a better crowd of men are catching shows with me which is great.
What did u raise ur rates to if u dont mind sharing

Wondering if SM is doing maintence cause I can’t cam to save my life tonight. Double and triple checked my internet, laptop and the regular check list of items including uninstalling and reinstalling the SM broadcaster. Had the stream health box open and the numbers were all over the over place and wonkier than ever. on top of that and 0 traffic I couldn’t hang anymore. Finally got a show just to get dissconnected. in a final attempt I unchecked the adaptive streaming box on the Sm broadcast and that made it worse cause I’d freeze up for seconds at a time. Talk about a nightmare.

^^Mine started once the model count climbed really high. It kept going back and forth between 1280x720 and 1024x576 so I finally just set it to 1024 because I was sick of seeing it constantly readjusting.

i was getting disconnected from unstable frame rates today too i had to end my late-morning-into-afternoon shift early because the painters working on the outside of the house had to use a power hose and knock the stucko off and the machine kept tripping the power so they kept having to reset the fuse box every 30 min.

I seriously make the most money when I ignore my chat room until someone talks to me...then give very little acknowledgment and give simple (but nice) replies. It's like they know I'm not going to be begging for their attention so it makes them want my attention more and they go private. I dunno...it's just what's working for me right now lol.

I think that has allot to do with them feeling bombarded when they enter a room.
Nobody likes a car sells-man, or mall cart guy grabbing at them as they walk past, even if they are checking out the 'goods".
I keep a notebook/sticky note and write in it. I keep track of how many members/potential members are online and at what time.
It comes in handy for seeing your peak hours.
Then, I keep reddit up for entertainment.
reddit.com/r/trashy and reddit.com/r/quityourbullshit are my two favorites to browse while online atm because not everything you click will be a
video that will lag you out.

I do not think I have ever seen this question asked, lol. When you are setting up your GS, check the bottom button.
See Setting up GS #9
http://streamatehelp.com/goldshows/#toggle-id-5
I tried to paste a pic, but I am having issues.
This was from SM FAQ
"You can choose whether or not to show members who the top contributors are by selecting the Gold Show option to “show member the top GOLD contributors.”
Once a member contributes more than the minimum amount of Gold, visitors in your room will see the member’s name and the amount they contributed. Please note that the contributor list will not show up for members on mobile devices.
HBUX
As more members add Gold, the list will show the top 3 contributors who are over the minimum amount. Members can click on a position on the list to see exactly how much Gold they need to add to claim it! The list will stay up until the Gold Show is completed.
If you are offering something special to the top contributor, this is a great option to encourage members to pledge more Gold! Members can quickly see how much Gold they need to add to be the top contributor and won’t need to ask you.
If you don’t want members to see who the top contributors are, just make sure this option is unchecked when setting up the show."
I know it is lot of info, but you should read every bit of the SM guides if you are new to SM.
