I had it on widescreen yesterday and every single customer bitched how they hated it. They are not going to like when we all have to use it. It is going to be a bit hard to get used to. These two things worry me :-\ First how many of the guys will have equipment good enough to benefit from WS and HD? I'm sure many guys will not even own computers with enough power to run it all! Then there's this thing about placement dropping if you don't/can't use the new settings. Ok so I'll go get a brand new top of the range webcam, then I'll go out and get a brand new top of the range i7 computer, but I still will not be able to use the new settings, why? Because I'm in the F***ing UK with the cockadoodle CRAPPY Broad Band that will not be replaced with Fibre F***ing Optic for another 3-5 years 'cos I live in the countryside! PLEASE TELL ME I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE??? I'm sorry but I have just spent the last 3 hours trying all sorts of different setting to get this to work, at best I could use the lower quality settings. Lower quality??? Any F***ing lower and it would be in the FRICKING GUTTER! Pixalated??? Oh yes! Best damn pixalating I've seen anywhere, ever! If I don't wanna be recognised in the future I know what to do! 3 hours when I could and should've been camming and making bank instead of wasting my time and energy F***ing about with the piece of shit called an encoder! Now I am so F***ing angry (can you tell?) that I don't think I can even sleep tonight! >:(>:(>:(

I'm using the Logitech c910 and when I use the widescreen settings my computer fan goes CRAZY BONKERS and my CPU usage goes up to 92.7%. Oh, and I lag badly, like 30 seconds of lagging. Not good. Going to have to buy the c920 ASAP I guess. Ugh.

I don't know if anyone accidentally saved over their old encoder settings, but I thought I had before. Luckily I hadn't and found these (both lower quality and higher quality). I will likely not be using the new settings because so far they make my room look more like a dark dungeon, and I can't understand why the majority of the focus should be on my room rather than me. Since I can't get new lighting just yet, I'll probably just stick with these old files. Anyway, if any of you need the old encoder files, here you go: Old Files! (https://mega.co.nz/#!DR1xXIAR!GY6-xm3nHSCNvfDvNA1lBGpSvdhJBgf2pbnx_Ax682k)

I've uploaded the .bat file to turn off Windows Aero while camming and I'll be adding it to the thread I made yesterday for anyone who may want to download it. It lessens your total CPU usage and may make the new encoder settings usable for some of you. The thread is Here (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?184724-Help-for-CPU-usage-being-too-high-with-the-new-SM-encoder-settings&p=2498116#post2498116).

Hope this helps some of you. :grouphug:

I tried the new settings yesterday and didn't even show up on the front page, so I used the 640 x 480 old settings. Today I tried the new 840 or whatever widescreen setting and I did show back up on front page. Weird. I have not checked how it affects my CPU though.

Anyone notice a jump in how many have favorited you? I was around 6850 yesterday and it kept dropping, and today I'm supposedly at 8095 and gaining a few every couple of hours. LOL..I don't trust that

When I first started camming, I'd only cam in Classic chat. I gave Party chat a try and it just didn't feel right. I'm gonna go back to Classic. I miss my old way of hustling.

Thats the cam I use JAC and mine won't let me. I can select the WS setting but before I can do anything else it auto resets to the previous setting. I don't know if it's the cam or my computer but the setting is deffinately there so in theory you should be able to use it?

What settings are you guys using for widescreen in the encoder? I can't seem to get anything to work even though I'm using an i7 computer with the C920 cam. TIA!

Yea that's the cam I have & I have not tried to use the new settings yet. Just something else to make me all stressed about. Anyone else tried to use these new settings with this cam?

Whenever I tried to change my profile text to anything that include price(3 dollar gold show, happy hour rate etc.) the change didn't get approved, and I know somewhere on the site says you shouldn't include your prices in profile, room topic, etc. But I've seen a lot of girls on the site have prices included in "First impression". So what's the problem?

Okay, so i really hate to buy a new webcam if i don't have to... I have the logitech HD C615. And i cant get the new encoder settings to work. I have this option to to "quick capture" pictures and videos with it. And when i bring that up, i can do both in widescreen without a problem. Its just not working with the encoder.... Does anyone else have this camera? I need some help ladies. Please :)

That's the camera I'm using, and I will try out the new settings tonight and report back. I know it's capable of 16:9 so that's a good sign, I hope. I kinda love that little camera and don't really want to buy another one quite yet.

is there any kind of tutorial on how to adjust ur encoders settings? Apparently when its on my feed is choppy but when im not using it my feed is smooth. So i can only assume its the settings on the encoder and i need to tinker with them but all those fields and settings on it scare me

Can any one tell me if it's possible that using the encoder on one computer can suddenly affect a different stream/encoder on a separate computer?
I have tried the new settings but can't use them due to the shitty bb in the uk, so i'm forced to use the old ones, however since the new settings were introduced I seem to have been having issues on my second site. I don't split, I use two computers and two cams.

I did check other girls tonight and found a lot were having issues with freezing, lagging and pixalating, the same as me, wether they were using wide screen or not. If this continues for me i'm afraid I will have to ditch SM :(

SUBJECT: STREAMING IN WIDESCREEN!

We are pleased to announce that we are switching to widescreen as our preferred video size! This switch should be easy for all performers and shouldn't require a new camera.

Over the next few weeks, performers who stream in widescreen and HD will start to get higher placement on the site. We'll let you know when this change happens. Read the instructions below and get set up as soon as possible!

HD External Encoder in Widescreen

If you use the HD Encoder, go to the HD Encoder page (*link to HD Endcoder page*) and download one of the new configuration files. There are two to choose from.

**Use the Recommended config file if you have a high quality camera that already has a setting for widescreen (16:9). Change the camera settings to widescreen, then follow the instructions for using the config file. (Popular cameras that will definitely work with this config file include the Logitech C920 and Logitech BCC950.)

**If you look stretched after you start to stream then this indicates your camera does not support widescreen, if this is the case you can use the Lower Quality config with any camera you currently use on streamate. This will put your video in widescreen, but the quality may not be as good.

**If you prefer to configure the encoder yourself, you can use the Manual Configuration instructions.

Try out the new files and see how they work with your camera! Contact performer support if you have any issues.

Internal Encoder in Widescreen

If you don't use the HD External Encoder, no problem. We'll be updating the Internal Encoder settings on the streaming page in the next few weeks. You won't have to do anything to see these changes.

Camera Recommendations

You don't need a new camera to stream in widescreen, but if you've been thinking of upgrading this could be a good opportunity! The better your camera, the better your stream will look. Remember, performers who use the HD Encoder and stream in widescreen will get the highest placement on the site.

Look for a camera that supports both HD and widescreen. We recommend checking out the Logitech C920 or Logitech BCC950. Both provide excellent quality streaming and are compatible with the HD Encoder.

Where can I find these new encoder settings? I didn't get the email :( I wouldn't worry about it yet ;)

As an aside, my BF was checking out other cams too, when he went onto SM placement was screwed right up! He was only seeing models from COL, ZAI etc no US or Europe, usually they are all he see's on the first few pages, so he put America, uk etc into the regions and when it loaded there was not one familar face amongst them! Not one of the top models was showing on the front page! But he did say I was on the 2nd/3rd row! I am usually on page 2/3 lol. Now I'm thinking if lot's of other guys were seeing this they would give up!

I think I am going to quit Streamate. I already am not fond of Gold shows, but the forcing of widescreen makes me think they are going to make everyone do Producer shows. I don't like the arm twisting. In all honesty if I wanted to sit in free chat with my tits out having guys join in shows and sell video's I could go on Naked and MFC and make 50 percent. I'm not saying that to insult anyone, I just feel pissed they changed the site and not in a good direction in my opinion. I joined Streamate because I didn't want to do that but it seems like all sites are becoming like that. So If I have to do it then I have to go with the sites that pay me the most and allow me to pick what I want to do.

i hope thats not the case then cuz i dont think we (trans) can do them, unless im wrong. tonight was sooooo bad but i think its cuz my cam cant handle the widescreen thing. I spent like 2 1/2 hours trying to get my camera to stop freezing but i think i got it to work with the lower quality settings. im not sure cuz i only stayed for like 20 minutes after that cuz i was so frustrated. I sent a vent message to streamate support about the new settings but i think i might have gotten it to work. I HATE thursdays.

Love isn't really doing cam shows now. If you read anything she says on Twitter she says cam sites have basically become shitty and give to much away for free. Indy is actually ok and I work on another cam site that is pretty good.

Some one let me know if and when SM is glitch free again! Just tried logging in, at first the dam encoder wouldn't even open, then when it did I got a message telling me my cam is unable to use those settings! I was using the old fucking settings! I could understand if was using the new ones! Eventually got it to work and it was severley pixalated, when I checked other girls rooms they were as bad if not worse with freezing and lagging! These poor girls were on the front page, top row and some were running GS countdowns and not getting anywhere. Also, as last night, the placement is fucked right up! Girls on the front page I've never seen before, all the usual gorls no where to be seen! I no longer have the time or the fricking energy to keep playing around with settings etc especially as it looks more and more like a site issue. WTF I'm out of SM untill it's sorted!
