I had an issue trying to log in to SMConnect - i wrote support and never heard back from them - BUT - I went back and tried again and got the same message -
" You are unable to stream - One or more problems has been detected" this time i hit the x instead of retry and it let me stream - it does this everytime - the whole time I am streaming I get the message on the right that says Low latency streaming disabled - Tuesday night I had an issue for about 30 minutes that started with guys saying I had no audio then they could no longer see me

Got my email response from verysoft - will update tomorrow if the solution works

if your using obs, it will show Low Latency stream disabled

I have written SM support with all my questions twice. I have not heard a word back. I have Liz's email. I have only written her for super important, can't-wait issues. She has always replied to me. I will not bother Liz with technical issues. SM support techs should answer us.

Does anyone have an effective way to produce results from SM support?

My Introduction to you extremely talented ladies who work on SM:

I am a freelance writer with a few gigs, but not enough to support me. I knew I was moving back home to the big lake from a southwestern almost-big-city after taking care of a relative for a few years. I knew I would not have decent ISP when I got home. Chaturbate saved me because I received a decent stream from the best satellite available where I live. FOR THREE LONG YEARS!!! I also could not take writing gigs because of unstable internet connections associated with satellite internet. If I miss a deadline, I lose customers, repeat business, and references.

I am disabled with a bad hip and back. I have to work online or go on disability. I don't do well with government subsidies. Cable, a blessing to me, arrived last fall. It is still not cityfied ISP. But, I can afford bandwidth in order to finally make more money with SM. With the money I make on SM, I can promote my writing services. I'm a talented and locally respected author and historian.

I am not a dedicated successful actor on CB. I actually learned to read Tarot Cards as a gimmick, and I accumulated a few CB tarot customers. After the token exchange, I make between $5 and $10 bucks a reading on CB. When I first realized that I had to get back home knowing that I had poor internet, I thought I had signed up with Streamate. But I had not. I had signed up with an agency who supplied SM with models that paid me through PayPal minus 5% of my earnings. Their website was extremely cunning and vague. I had no experience with camming at that time. I only knew I had to supply myself with some online income.

I found out through StripperWeb that PayPal will close your accounts for anything connected with porn. I immediately quit the agency. By the time I moved home and was 6-months free from the agency who could have screwed up my credit and all that crap, I had sloooowwwww ISP. I tried everything to continue on SM, but alas, it was a no-go.

That's where Liz at SM comes in. I wrote her very short emails during my moving and ISP probs, and she answered me quickly all three times.

I won't write to Liz that SM support is ignoring me. That exemplifies the "whiny female". I don't do counterproductive. It looks like everyone with tech probs is in the "I guess this fixed that with SM Connect" or "I found this worked" state of mind here.

Why should we have to go through guess-work when SM employs IT professionals? We are professionals as well. How do we fix this problem if we can? Maybe I'm trying to lead a horse that won't drink to water with this issue.

I am not going to use up "Ask Liz" privileges on trying to get SM support to talk to me.

^ you're right, there should be better model support.

SM is a demanding site from a technical standpoint. you have to have decent tech, internet, and a decent set up or it's a waste of time. my earnings nearly doubled when I got a gaming laptop, upgraded my cam, and my internet speed was doubled.

Wth is SM c2c Beta? I see it mentioned and this is the first I've heard of it.
The SMConnect is a pain in the ass. It boots guys constantly, I can only see the names of two guys in my room at a time, guys see each other's messages, & I can't hit break on the 30 second countdown in order to give myself enough time to get dressed.

Yeah, OK, I won't waste my time quenching the thirsty horse. It sure does look like I need to hit up some young geek squad dude at Best Buy who likes cougars...Unfortunately, I can not wear my baby doll nighty with lace panties to Best Buy. I would like to find a weak link in the SM corporate chain that will get us better answers in the tech department. I figure it will take about 2 more years of camming for me to earn a decent living writing—legally and paying taxes. I wish to find that technical loophole in SM's corporate structure and our contractual agreements that will allow us to obtain excellent tech service on the export end of SM's porn biz—but, that also seems to be an energy waster.

I'm so done trying the new streaming options. The promised boost in placement didn't appear and my stream was laggy and pixelated.

I'm actually appearing higher in placement streaming at 720p with FMLE or OBS than at 1080p with SMConnect and my stream looks clear and everyone can hear me.

It would have been absolutely educational if SM or that ripoff agency had explained the techno-info to me at the time. If it had not been Hyori on the scene in StripperWeb three years ago, I doubt that camming could have saved me...I have a deep respect for her technical knowledge and YouTube videos.

"We detected your GOLD Show timer did not end properly. Your GOLD Show has been stopped and you will be paid normally."
2nd gold show threw me in free chat with 1.30 mins remaining in gold show,
Anal all up in free chat

The guys are being awesome. I send them a clip if shit gets cut off and I am credited.

I agree with Caramelcraze that SM is very demanding from a technical standpoint. Not only is having a good strong setup very important, but taking the time to learn and research to do your own tech is a big thing. If you are interested in that kind of thing, there are many resources available on the net for free. You just have to invest the time to research and learn.
With the speed of technology progressing, it's good to never stop learning in that field, if you want to continue with streaming.

I doubt SM is going to ever offer IT services to models, since they are spending money on developing new software and setups to make things easier for models to stream. It's taking them some time to get their SMB/SMC right, but I think they will have a great setup once it's complete.

Even after it's complete... You'll need a strong computer, lots of bandwidth, good lighting, and patience, for SM to payout well for you. And- the knowledge to troubleshoot on your own when things go wrong.

Aside from that, SM has info on their help pages about setting things up. It's in the help area of SM models.
Vanessa also has a channel to help with things in more detail. She has over 100 videos and uploads regularly: https://www.youtube.com/user/AWModels

I personally started writing a technical help troubleshooting guide, which I was going to post here a couple of years ago. I ended up ditching it, as I realized that it wouldn't help much. The reason is because there isn't "a one for all" solution to issues, because all of our setups, lighting, network setups, internet providers, speeds, computer specs, etc are so different. I wish it were that easy, but unfortunately, it's not.

That's why it's good to learn your setup, and invest time in learning to be your own tech.

I hope that helps a little.
I try to help on here if I see a question, but I'm not on here every day. But if so, I'll be glad to help any of you girls if possible.

I sincerely thank you, Halo88, for that information. Learning is exactly the objective of my inquiries to this thread. Five years ago, I found that no one addressed technical issues when I wanted to supplement my income by camming. I found StripperWeb! Hyori is wholly responsible for the techno info I have researched and learned from. You just expertly laid out the best way to deal with bad tech on a cam site that does not help with the applications they push out for us to try out. I wish I owned a techie brain, but I don't. I am artsy all the way...It takes me several go-rounds to do math problems and one time to create something gorgeous out of nothing.

To take the the SM bull by the horns is to learn what works for you and your equipment. That is key. I do not have the education for that.

That being said, Halo, I wish I had known three years ago about the need for a techie-mind in camming. I did not achieve a long-term relationship with highspeed internet after my first brief encounter with SM through a rip-off agency.

You have hit the SM nail on the head with self-education on tech issues for success on SM. I hope that we can be more transparent on different specs on different computers on this thread. That's a tall order. Better bring me a beer in a Pilsner glass...

I wish she would do her Skype hangouts for cam girls again.

I've been using SMConnect Web Encoder for about a month now which has it's annoyances but has increased my income and placement quite a bit. I switch to Flash Classic with regs that like phone option, but other than that it's SMConnect.

Connect for me to

Mostly me too. I've been going back and forth between the two, but it's starting to drive me crazy, so I just need to pick one and stick with it. When I first started with SMConnect I was streaming at 720 and I was doing really well and now for the last couple of weeks I've been streaming at 1920x1080 and its been so slow, just a ton of in's & out's and tech problems. I even contacted support and they had me run some special test to see why my streaming had changed but all they came back to me was "we're working on it".

Mostly me too. I've been going back and forth between the two, but it's starting to drive me crazy, so I just need to pick one and stick with it. When I first started with SMConnect I was streaming at 720 and I was doing really well and now for the last couple of weeks I've been streaming at 1920x1080 and its been so slow, just a ton of in's & out's and tech problems. I even contacted support and they had me run some special test to see why my streaming had changed but all they came back to me was "we're working on it".

Pretty sure that's happening for everyone. It's been that way for me too and I've heard many others say the same. 1920x1080

thats what it has me streaming at - and i am having to ask constantly if they can see/hear me because it is randomly dropping my stream- I have a brand new good spec laptop - im hardwired - good cam - 11.32 upload - so IDK

I have been using smb with beta c2c. There are just too many features missing from connect to make my hustle work. I look forward to trying it a few versions down the line. I won’t be their guinea pig if they can’t give me the tools to make my income (phone/blocks specifically). My rank is the same as before the 15th which makes sense because I was already using it.

I had to switch back to flash just now - guys kept telling me they could not see me over and over the past hour and a half - to bad because I really like use Connect

I've been using smb beta c2c pretty much since it came out. I have a lot of phone guys so I'm not using connect until they add the rest of the features. I like the beta c2c anyway. It works well for me.

So what is everyone mainly using, SMConnect or SMBroadcast?

I use smbroadcast with the c2c beta and have been for months. I'm geoblocked so i have no clue what my placement is. But I get steady traffic and the feed is super clean most of the time, and I adore how well cam to cam works in real time. It's definitely boosted my earnings. If anything gets glitchy, usually a restart or switching browsers (I go back and forth between chrome and Microsoft Edge) will smooth it out.

I tried smconnect for like 5 minutes once and I absolutely despise the layout.

I had an issue trying to log in to SMConnect - i wrote support and never heard back from them - BUT - I went back and tried again and got the same message -
" You are unable to stream - One or more problems has been detected" this time i hit the x instead of retry and it let me stream - it does this everytime - the whole time I am streaming I get the message on the right that says Low latency streaming disabled - Tuesday night I had an issue for about 30 minutes that started with guys saying I had no audio then they could no longer see me

Got my email response from verysoft - will update tomorrow if the solution works

I have the same issues saying it can't find my camera, when I click the x it logs me on. I really don't like the new platform

Sometimes, the guys are writing to me in my room and SM Connect is not showing that they are in my room. I get disconnected often even though I'm hard-wired. I have an i7 processor but only 8 GB ram. My upload speed is between 2.8 and 3 Mbps. My download speed is 100 Mbps. I don't know how those components work with the features SM offers. I cannot use SM Connect until I know how my specs and speed affect SM connect. I have all the problems with SM connect that y' all have mentioned and more. I am sure that Hyori is super busy and now has to time-manage her resources. She is a great motivator and so on top with tech issues.

it's probably your upload speed. 3 up isn't much sadly :/

I know, but now I will be making more money. I can upgrade in a few months. Thank You! At least I have the option to upgrade. My neighborhood only received cable late last year. And I can stream on SM!!!

BTW, Streamate support finally answered me about the payment by check in the mail info. I am going to try to learn a name in the IT department. You catch more files with honey. Vinegar doesn't do much with fiy eradication.

Same. It keeps tossing me from 720 to the 1920x1080 and back again. Its all over the place.

I'm finding the only thing working for me consistently without killing my placement or making my stream unwatchable is FMLE. It's clear streaming and clear audio. I don't understand why the others wont work for me but I can't afford to experiment any more, need to make consistent $.

I've been using smb with beta c2c since it came out as well. SM connect, last i checked, only has party chat which i don't like and it kept logging me out. I'm pretty good with the smb with beta c2c, i've even been first page a few times and traffic has definitely increased. Even though i only cam part time, I've had my highest earning week in 6 mos just this past week.

I do miss the old smb because it was easier to color correct my stream, but I'm going to put in more hours this upcoming week try SM Connect again and see what happens.

Update on my Very Soft Issue

These are the instructions I received from VerySoft with a file to download

change camera format to MJPEG using instruction below:

- save zip file to computer, open this folder, extract file from archive, open folder containing wcs_use_subtype_mjpg.reg;
- double click on it to apply, confirm adding the information to the registry;
- start WebCamSplitter and check.

So now Very Soft is recognizing my camera BUT Streamate and Skype both are not giving me VerySoft as a source option - I only get a black screen with the old SM log in and on Skype and with SMConnect it just kicks me to offline - sigh -- I cant fight this battle any more today - I have read through the very soft thread that HYori started and watched her video - from what I can tell all of my settings are correct - I cant lose anymore time today messing with this :banghead:

@shanda1836 you might want to watch the video regarding VerySoft - if I understood Hyori correctly using verysoft and adjusting the settings can help with disconnections issues due to low upload speed on SM


EDITED TO ADD - IM GOING TO CONTINUE THIS IN THE VERYSOFT THREAD - I DIDNT FIND IT WHEN I ORIGINALLY SEARCHED FOR IT- THANNNNNNNNNNNKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS REPLIED

I’ve been away from camming for a while and need to get my rating back to five stars. I keep asking guys to leave a rating, but no one does. Today, one guy informed me that there’s no option to leave a rating for me after a show. Wth? I only got one rating last week when I used OBS and the old interface. Since then I’ve been using SMConnect. Is this a glitch or just a downside to using SMConnect? When I cammed before I had no problem getting ratings, so this is strange. I’ll go back to OBS and flash if I must.

you know what last night I had a bunch of regs who always rate 5 not leave a rating. Wonder if it has to with their browser. I don't use connect btw

Thanks to SMConnect I'm meeting my goals weekly. I place better & the C2C feature makes sessions with clients very intimate.

While there are some minor annoyances, overall I'm happy with the platform.

Does anybody cam on SM with a Chromebook?

^^Yes, I do. It's why I'm at the mercy of Classic Flash and SMConnect Web Encoder.

Are you still able to make a decent amount?

I've noticed that my stream is a lot faster and I have more traffic since switching to my Chromebook. I'm hoping that will equal more income.

^^I have a fast ISP, good ratings, excellent time online, and my niche is Foot Fetish. Since using SMConnect Web Encoder I am consistently showing up on page 1 main and page 1 foot fetish. My income has increased quite a bit with the new platform and I am now making what I aimed for when I started full time camming 4 months ago. So, yes :)

That's awesome! How long have you been camming? I'm just starting and want to make it a full-time thing eventually!

Miss_ShaSha
04-21-2019, 12:29 PM
^^Welcome :) I opened my account almost a decade ago but camming was just a side gig. I'm a Domme & had my own pay site, clip store, & sold custom pics plus vids. I've been teasing a long time.

I did take a 6 yr break & just got back into camming full time 4 months ago.

It can be rough in the beginning but a positive attitude, great self care & consistency will help you meet & at times exceed your goals.

I managed to get a rating today. Lol... Just one out of idek how many shows, but whatever was glitching with the option to rate us is apparently working for some guys now. So weird.

Miss_ShaSha
04-24-2019, 06:45 PM
^^Score! You know, I have 5 stars but not an excellent rating rank. I've made it a point to ask kindly for a rating just before each show. Only about 1 in 7 shows results in a rating of 5 stars. After they cum they go dumb lol.

Keep pushing. It took me a few weeks to re-earn 5 stars. Persist. You got this!

This may not be well received, but SMConnect Web Encoder has made April my highest earning month since full time camming back in Dec 18 in the least amount of hours.

I've learned to adapt & adjust to its capacity at this point. I'm certain by the time the kinks are worked out it will be such a joy to utilize.

The platform has benefitted me greatly as my set up cannot support encoders. It takes some getting used to, but it's been worth the hassle.

For real, Connect is the absolute business. The only thing I wish it were better at is zooming in...on SMB I can zoom in really close, but Connect literally has no zoom at all. Once they fix that, it'll be a dream.

Bullshit. They are supposed to take it down on demand. That's what I've been told by the Cambuilder support when setting up my affiliate site. Contact Streamate directly with this.

how odd -- I just googled my cam name and found a Fuckbook account (on the first page of Google, ugh) even though I have geoblock on. They took all my old photos that I no longer have on SM and list my location as some bumfuck town in the Midwest. (I'm on the West Coast.)

Is this actually a white label? It just straight up looks like a fake dating site. I thought all SM whitelabels/affiliates had the same "skin"/layout, just different color schemes.

I sent a request to Liz to have it removed, regardless.
