I have a question I REALLY hope someone can help me with, SM support wasn't helpful (big shock). Pretty much ever since I got my break button activated my sound button from the customers side has been grayed out. I still have working sound, but if a customer has the sound muted in another room and then enters my room, his sound will still be muted and he can't access my volume button to turn me up. I know it's not something from my end because it's been that way for over 6 months and I can't get any help with it. Has anyone else had this problem or any idea how I should go about getting SM to fix it? It's aggravating having to explain to people that they have to leave my room, enter another room, adjust the sound, and then re enter my room again lol.

Can you just tell the guys to let you talk and ask them to type? Tell them you cannot hear them. That should solve the problem.

No, I mean MY sound button. They can't hear ME if they have their volume muted before entering my room. My volume adjustment is grayed out for them.

My room has been busy, but only one PVT so far. It was a decent length one thank goodness. Other than that .. Mostly beggars, freeloaders, or squaters. I've been having fun making fun of the idiots and making the other guys laugh, but that's becoming exhausting after awhile. So obviously, I can entertain, but I can't convert worth a shit for some reason. Hmm I think I may just have to accept I suck at SM now lol and will never be where I was pre-gold shows.

It's not you sweety, it's them ;) . Seriously though it's been like that for me for a while too and a lot of the other girls. Tonight I went in without the encoder, my placement was atrocious but I still managed to bank, not a lot but more than I was since the new settings. My pic was stable with no pixelating, so I don't know if I'm gonna have to resign myself to not using the encoder:(.

i cant use the encoder right now either and it not the new settings just my comp only has 1 gig of ram so after i get my bills paid thats the next thing im going to get. my feed is apparently choppy as fuck with it on and when using it i was either top BBW or in the top row at least now im in third. it makes me a sad Manda Panda

SM is loading crazy slow for me tonight and once I get to the chat screen it says "Loading interface" but never actually loads and eventually times out. This is on Google chrome. It's slow but I can get it to load on firefox, but I don't like using firefox because it freezes alot.
Anyone know how I can fix it on Chrome to get it to work again? The other sites work fine, but not SM. I tried reinstalling Chrome and still no go :(

Yeah I know the problem is on my end but I cant figure out how to fix. It worked fine early, but I left the site. Now that I'm coming back it won't load. I don't get it. Uninstalled, reinstalled Chrome. Cleared out all of the data and it still won't work. It just says "Loading Interface" then error. Hmmm

I'm not good with this stuff but whenever I get a problem like this I reboot my computer first, sometimes it works lol
So I just read the last 4 pages here that I missed. Yup. My favorites increased too. Maybe they're giving favorites to people that are looking for stuff in your tags so you show up for them? I dunno.
Also gold shows and the whole widescreen tv show thing. I don't think they can make you b/c some of us have geoblocking and regular jobs we'd like to keep. But the gold show thing. Are we supposed to do them? I really don't see a point. In our couples account it was great to show people what we are like. But as a solo girl I am the whole show. Why give that away for .33 my cut?!
On a side note. I get sissy subs in my room once in awhile and they never want to play. Are they just notoriously cheap?
Billabong
06-08-2013, 03:16 AM
For me personally, I get alot of fetish guys in my room on SM who say they wanna serve me in some way or another, sissies included, but it's rare that they over go pvt. On other sites though, fetish guys make for great money. I don't get what it is about SM that makes them cheap.
In other news, I struggled and made due with running SM on firefox and ended up having several pvts tonight. WOO HOO! Finally gonna get a triple digit paycheck from them lol. Sucks though, I had so much traffic coming in and out of my room FF couldnt handle it. This guy took me pvt and dudes were going crazy coming in and out while we were doing our thing and firefox kept freezing thus freezing my cam everytime one did so the dude got frustrated and left. :( Booo. I really gotta find a way to fix Chrome. Chrome and FF are the only browsers that I have that support ALL the sites that I run simultaneously. Shitty situation. Why meeee.

06-08-2013, 03:53 AM
^^^ Maybe that's ur issue, too many sites simultaneously? I mean there could be conflicts between all software u run that causes ur browsers to get stuck/ stop working.
Regarding fetish members on SM, fetishes especially foot fetish is my niche and i notice in free chat based sites like SM is more difficult to make people pay cause as a fetish girl u wearing things they into but u have to hustle freechat different than paid chat & people get to see what u wearing before paying.
Is very difficult for me to make these guys pay cause they expect tease or me to change outfits in freechat 'before pvt', i always ask for tips if they want a flash, i never change anything before pvt, i dont show feet in nylons or bare, i dont wear my high heels in free to show them on cam, if i flash ass in panties, tits or feet i request 5 gold for it.
Tho they get to see me before paying, for some is just enough to wank and get off in free, i try to show as little as possible but u know how these guys are: 'show this and that then i take u pvt' or 'do something, entice me in pvt', 'tease me', 'oh why to tip 4 feet or ass in panties, they just feet/ ass' and so on.
Right, my private show is all about fetishes, if i show u all in free why would u come pay me having in mind i dont do hardcore but vanilla and fetishes only & very very rarely i touch my asshole & this in exclusive only for regulars/ very nice guys?
That's one of the reasons i dont do gold shows cause of the way i have to hustle it and when in show there is not much i can do as i am not willing to do hardcore.
They take advantage of free chat, i used to make alot better in paid only chat sites but traffic died where i was working before SM.
Still i have good members that pay for my fetish-vanilla shows :)

I was surfing through SM last night. You could tell there was a major difference between the girls that were using the old stream and the girls that were using the wide-screen. The girls that were using the widescreen were freezing up and their stream looked washed out and pixelated. :/

Yes last night the new settings made me look like a muffin and my placement was worse. I don't know why SM has too much drama with the f***ing encoder. Other sites that use the same encoder are 100 % drama free.

I was surfing through SM and something is very strange. I saw a girl on bottom of first page with 86 people in her room, and only 2 of them were registered users with credit cards. Others were free chat users. Other girls with similar placement had around 10-20 people in rooms, but around 10 of them registered users. Is it possible that some type of girls attract more freeloaders? She wasn't naked, didn't do GS or anything like that.
AliceFun
06-08-2013, 09:24 AM
^^^ How can u see these numbers, registered and freeloaders on SM chat? Is a new feature to see who is watching us actually??!!
Edited to add: right, u can see that only in party chat rooms by clicking on the number of members, u get a list with all members logged in and invisible number of guests.

06-08-2013, 09:29 AM
When you go in your room at cammodels link you see registered users in black colour, free users in grey colour and non-registered users as "anonymous mitglieders". If you look at your chat window when streaming you see registered users with credit cards in "guest chat" and registered users with no credit card in "free chat". I don't think you can see non registered visitors...

Please let me know if you see my stream. I kept checking and it seemed fine. I refuse to check my placement bc of all this so I just go to my link. Some guys said they couldn't hear and others said everything was fine. I kept checking for that , funny I didnt lag the 5 secs we usually do but PLEASE let me know :D and DEAR GOD I HOPE someone has the old encoder settings. Some REGULARS came in and left so I wonder..........

I was one of the lucky bitches with a fuckton of freeloaders. 3 ppl in my room and over 60 in FREE chat. A good way to clear that is keep typing LOSERS LOSERS LOSERS lol :D Broke motherfuckers go pay fucking child support :D ( i know that is not everyones case, but ya know;) )

Thank you soooo much. I got really confused. I thought it was gonna be this week it was sent out :p Thank you!
I was beginning to think my account info was wrong
I bought the c920 yesterday because my old cam couldn't go widescreen. I got it situated with the encoder, but wow HD cams are a lot different. I am going live with it on SM tonight. I've left it open in the encoder all day to work me into it, and tell myself, THIS IS HOW YOU LOOK NOW, GET USED TO IT.

Yes yes yes! Please anyone with the old settings let us know. Since fucking about with the new settings I have not been able to use the encoder without pixelating and freezing up :( I will be emailing SM tomorrow to voice my concerns and frustrations, I suggest that anyone else with issues does the same, the more of us that do might have an impact.

During the busiest time in my niche, there are only about 30 models on at the max. If I don't use widescreen and just continue do what I am doing now, I wonder how my placement will drop. I certainly won't be on page 5 that's for damn sure, lol!

I use lower because I'm not hardwired. Recommended will no doubt give me grief if I try streaming with those higher settings if my laptop's not physically wired to the net... Ladies having problems, try using the lower settings provided in the HD Encoder tab on SM, if you've not already. <3

I use low budget HD cam now, and I will upgrade to c920. Because of widescreen and because with this one my stream looks dark, even though I use one over-head lamp and 3 lamps around my camming space. Does getting better cam improves placement on SM(because this one I have is capable of HD, but its a cheap one, like logitech C270.)? And how does it feel to do this step, do all the skin imperfections look worse?(I have acne and on this one I have now, they are not visible if properly covered, but they appear if I don't use powder.)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the higher quality cams are definitely going to show more flaws. :( Lots of makeup and proper lighting should help... It might take a while to experiment and get it down but you can do it!

I'm having an issue with these new widescreen settings. I have logitech c910 and usually I turn off right light and gain so that it doesn't fuck with my lighting; but now if I turn off right light the whole thing freezes. It's infuriating! Now whenever I move my camera my feed gets SUPER bright and you can't see me at all. Ugh, how do I get this to stop freezing?? Does anyone else have this problem?
Billabong
06-08-2013, 06:38 PM
This happened to me a few months ago. I can't remember what the search results said, but I know that it happens to a lot of people. I also couldn't figure out a way to make it work :( I originally installed chrome canary because other browsers kept freezing on me. I ended up having to reinstall my OS a couple weeks after that, and it works just fine now. Damn updates causing so much trouble!
Just wanna say, to anyone who may be having trouble with this in the future. I uninstalled Chrome and made sure to check the box to uninstall EVERYTHING completely, then I restarted my computer and then I reinstalled it. Works now. WooHoo! Now let's make that money!
A quick Hello to everyone! I am new here but i read the forum for a few weeks :-)
@PrincessLuna: I have a C910 too and i had the same problem with freezing when i turned off the right light. What worked for me was to zoom in 2 steps ( 2 clicks on the zoom in ) and then i could turn off the right light without freezing. Try it and see if is working for you.
