I stopped using verysoft on SM as my picture goes quite small and half of me is cut off. Instead i'm running xsplit with my logitech 9000 (because it won't go above 15fps on its own). It doesn't matter what i set as the audio source, nothing works, or i get this high pitched squeaky scramble. Not sure if i have to do something on xsplit first? Wasted over an hour this morning trying to sort it grr.

I am not able to help with this splitter cause when i installed it on my machine it fucked up my system completely so i had to roll pc back to a previous date.
Now we all have different pc's & equipment but theoretically u should be able to use the adobe encoder with verysoft for sm but this depends on what sites have priority for u & how u actually splitcam.
Anyway, with the encoder u can pick the sound source properly, the mic of ur cam if this is what u want.

The encoders are really awkward to use as I can't see myself on SM to check if I look OK and the encoder window gets in the way of everything. If I am on 3 sites it's a real pain that's why using one cam through verysoft was easiest. But my picture is too small, it's 1280x720 but it looks too zoomed in, like guys can only see my chin to the top of my belly. If I move the cam up its too high on my other sites. Anyway I tested my mic and looks like the sound issue is down to my logitech 9000 not xsplit or small as testing it on its own produces the same result. Really wishing now I hadn't sold my c920! I might have to invest in a new one. Oh why oh why is working on SM so awkward??! No other site is this much trouble :/

You need to split your screen in half... i have SM on the right. mfc/cb on the left with the encoder over cb/mfc over lapping I can see enough of each screen to respond i can easily click on my broadcaster to see where i am and see on mfc and cb
I do use one cam for SM and split with webcamspliter pro the token sites, that way, I can move the cam to my pussy if I wanted to on the token sites but keep in "legal" on SM

I love hydroxycut black. I dont use them to loose weight :( they never work for me.
They do keep me focused and alert. Im happy. I have unmediated adhd but went this year without insurance and Vyvanse is expensive. I take 2 diet pills before work.
When i want to loose weight and under dr care, i have used phentermine with a lot of success.
I did loose weight on Hydroxy cut in 1999 before they changed the formula.

What the fuck is going on with streammate lately? There is an increase of annoying guys that just come into my room to "chat". They don't wanna tip me or anything. Tired of these guys coming on weekends when it's supposed to be busy and treating the site like a shit token site and talk my ear off with irrelevant shit I don't wanna hear. Why don't they go on dating sites if they want to connect with somebody? This shit is making me irate.

"Working 10 hours" could literally just mean turning your cam on and walking away from it, and getting rewarded for it. I'm glad they're requiring people to make a minimum. Also, let's just say, hypothetically, that 1000 models make that $25 bonus eligibility. That's already *25 grand* they'd be giving out (on top of the regular contest prizes). A $100 bonus like that would be pretty ridiculous and unrealistic. Just saying.
Frankly I think $100 bonuses for the models who actually make relative bank in the top 100 is insulting. There's nothing insulting about barely making any money and still getting a bonus for it.
Completely agree. Also, $25 is an extremely low bar to clear especially with the 10 hour requirement that goes with it.

Ladies do you think I should bite the bullet and buy another c920 purely for SM? My old pro 9000 doesn't seem to be hacking it very well anymore. If so, what would be the best setup up for EASY splitting so I can easily see all windows? I already use verysoft for my other sites so it'd either be flme or xsplit. Bear in mind I use the JustCamIt encoder fir aw which can't be fixed in position like browser windows :/

Try using g multiple screens. You can even turn a TV into monitor. So if you got me around this saves money. I'm blind AF so use a 32 inch samsung as my main monitor. The second on is 24 inches.
As for the can, yes get a new one. They really aren't built to handle the level of streaming that cammers do. Even if the quality looks the same as it always did, its not. Changing out your vam every year at least will solve so many issues. Problems with bitrate are common issues once the can depreciates.
The issue with Very soft, have you manually selected the variating resolutions from the system tray? You can right click it in the tray and select multiple sizes. This allows you to be fully visible across multiple platforms.

Oooo that was some country grammar right t thurr I'm on my phone
Here are two major holidays I DONT WANT to cam on, Easter & Christmas, i am mostly camming at nite here & my problem is, i cant even sleep if i wanna take days (nights actually) off.
For me personally a contest means no business for some damn reason, i dont know why, feels like all traffic is gone from my room, maybe because i dont do GS's or offer incentives, i am not the competitive type & work a niche, etc tho i understand SM, they dont want an empty site and i am very honest here now, i know i banked before last year during holidays when there were 200 models online, guess they wanna avoid this on holidays in general.
Maybe if i cant sleep i'll get on cam, will see.

Is there a way to fix the "calibration error" when setting up SM Broadcast? The Adobe encoder had been doing fine for me, but now my placement is horrible with the Adobe encoder, and SM broadcast isn't calibrating for me.

Thank you hun, I am off to get one now. Did manage ok this am with using my c922 with verysoft on both sites and setting SM to HD high instead of high wide, but not sure if that will affect my ranking? Still better to have two cams as I can be more flexible then.
Anyone know what could be causing the smb ( second to last version) to be dropping fps? I've tried everything. My comp is I-7. Nothing has changed in the way I've been doing anything. I don't have lots of programs running. Changed out my ethernet cable. Speedtest results were good.
Sm tech of course was -0- help. I've been losing all kinds of hours trying to figure this out. I've been trying to avoid putting it here as of course some people will be all too happy about it.
The weird thing is I'm still making some $. But I'm just not into working when I can clearly see it's glitching and my feed looks chopped. Right around the holidays too.
The only thing I've been able to find was fps drop on gaming sites. I have no idea what they're talking about there, but it's not related to the smb.
I even tried to update to the newest smb and it seemed to just run my fan. So I went back to the old version.
I tried dropping the smb down to a lower setting and calibrate it to that. It just keeps giving me the 1280x760 or whatever the highest setting is.
Mare, it happened to me too recently & i suspect it's just a SM/ SMB issue cause everything works here normally.
If ur system is OK same as ur connection then it's just on SM's side.
The SMB is still in Beta & they announced the final version will be launched early 2017 so i suspect that's why it's glitching now, have u tried the FMLE (Adobe encoder) & seen the same issues or it's just SMB doing that? If u did not try already go ahead and cam with fmle see how it's working, if u have issues with that too then u know it's on ur side eventually but if not, it's just SMB acting up.
So You avoided typing in here u have probs just because some people will be happy about it? HA! Guess what? ME, i dont care about it, they might laugh & be all happy about me having issues or making no money cause I DONT GIVE A DAMN RATS for what bitches think or do LOL, the most important thing is, here we can talk about anything & everything SM related & get help from eachother, if u dont open ur mouth there is no way to find out what the real issue is with ur stream Mare.
That's why i opened this thread to be able to talk open about everything w.o being accused we clog the SM thread with 'negativity' LOL so yeah, i am being negative & sort out my issues cause of the amazing people here offering support to eachother :P.
Pls update when u have more answers xx and good luck!

Where does all the extra traffic come from, when we are offered a top spot show?
it seems that there is this extra traffic. Even for models who are on top rows, when in a top spot show, they seem to get extra traffic.

If you changed something within the last few days setting your computer back a few days through the control panel (Control Panel>>System and Security>>Security and Maintenance>>Recovery>>Open Recovery) may fix it.

Tbh I don't think there is anything you can do. It was dropping like crazy for me for a couple months solid and then one day it went back to normal and now it only happens rarely. When it was happening to me like crazy no one else that I talked to seemed to be having any issues either, now it works fine for me 98% of the time and you're having lots of issues? The only thing I can suggest is using the encoder, during my tech issues the encoder would still malfunction(the bitrate would drop constantly) but at least with the encoder guys weren't complaining about my video quality whereas with the broadcaster they would.

Hey Jenni, that's happened to me before & it was bc I had a 3 day ban :D (Mine was from not sending vid links out quick enough lol)
Ok. Here's the update. Right now it's working. But it's weird. When it was dropping to 20 fps it would highlight red and I'd know it was mashing the feed. So I did read somewhere that you could go to your logitech controller and unclick the right light box and get back to 30 fps. So I did that a few days ago and it worked, but then I was still randomly dropping frames. So I just checked it back on and it was giving me an imput and output of 15 fps but no mash.
I'm not even sure what to think. I'm afraid tomorrow it will revert back to screwy. But it sure was nice getting some shows! I'll keep you(s) posted.

12-07-2016, 06:06 PM
^^When it was happening to me it would be completely random. Some days it was dropping like crazy to where it would disconnect me, some days it barely dropped..... In all the time that it was happening and in all of the research that I did I never found any patterns or correlations.
RedHott
12-07-2016, 07:51 PM
Wait what? They told you they banned you because you didn't send out video links fast enough? I guess I find that hard to believe, since I was under the impression that some models have been suspended for even sending out videos in the first place...
I've never been banned/suspended so I don't know what it looks like on the model's end. Do they even inform you that you've been banned? Or is the only indication of a ban is that you are unable to stream?
Girls on Streamate are allowed to sell videos... quite a few gold shows have purchasing vids along with them. As far as I know SM has to OK which site you host the vids on though.
And yes, they send an email stating the reason and how long the ban will last. I had a member complain bc I didn't send the link within 24 hours or something. It was my fault, I accidentally deleted his message :-\

Is it possible to split cam using the Broadcaster?
Blovely

^The only way to split with the Broadcaster is by using 2 camera's. If you want to use 1 camera you'd have use the encoder with a split program.

I'm having exactly the same issue. Made a whopping $8 in one hour because for some reason everyone keeps getting kicked out of my room. Even in paid chat. Wtf! Is there anything I can do about it? My internet connection is great and I have yet to see that I've been kicked offline. I'm getting a pretty decent amount of traffic, but they can't stay longer than a minute or two.

My main computer isn't powerful enough to run all the sites that I cam on at their highest settings so I use 2 computers....Lenovo k450 and Alienware Alpha i7. Hopefully will be able to upgrade soon, following pretty much the same specs from The Fall - Winter 2016 Cammodel Computer Shopping thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?213664-The-Fall-Winter-2016-Cammodel-Computer-Shopping-thread). I use Verysoft on 1 computer and Manycam on the other but I prefer and recommend Verysoft.

I just got a 1 star rating and I'm pretty sure it's because my sound cut out. He tipped 5 gold during the show and added another 1 star. I guess he doesn't realize that only 1 rating per day counts! The sound works fine in the encoder so I guess I'll go back to that for now.
Sorry to read u got a two 1 star ratings Carmen, 1 star really does a lot of harm, maybe u can have that removed?
When this happens cause of a tech issue on SM's side is even worse.
I too had a slow shift last nite & i wonder if it's SMB related, tonite i'll cam with FMLE see if that helps & if more stable.

Thanks Kat. I did write to support to ask for it to be removed. I had to write in twice because I did not realize that my sound had cut out until later. I am doing really well with the FMLE. Good luck to you! I hope you do well tonight.

Guys like this are turds and I feel they damn sure know what they are doing. Make sure to put a note to ban him. He knows enough to give ratings. He gave you a shite rating.

Support is so odd, when it comes to this.
Mine sometimes get approved while I'm still streaming ......other times it takes a day, or 2.
*I just had a photo (Christmas related), rejected because it had text in it .
Other times my pix with texts go right through.
Weirdo site.
