Sorry but obs is worth your time. Better picture lower cpu and you can do a ton of stuff in cam with it.

yup, I agree.
I love obs but cant configure it through watching videos.

I wish sm would support this just for the purpose of screenshots.

I haven't gotten new tags in a long time either

i have gotten tons and nothing but stupid shit by trolls. support does not even monitor it so why not allow us to approve or deny? when you delete tags from profile it is still linked to you when guys search for certain tags

Been able to configure OBS & tested it on SM, i am curious how it looks like when i'll get on cam later on as for testing i had bad lighting here.
CPU usage was soo low WOW!! compared to SMB or even FMLE!!
I hate to hear my PC pulling horsepower with SMB here, OBS is just something different, took me a little while to figure it out, i watched an american young guy video on youtube explaining things & i followed the steps so yay! got it! cant wait to test it!

Also it helps to know which version you guys are using those of you having a hard time. OBS Classic is super light weight and easier to configure. But if you're working with OBS Studio there are more steps involved. VIdeo on OBS Classic

I think this is it right here but you have to scroll down to where it says OBS Classic. https://obsproject.com/download

And also the obs site recommends getting it here on github https://github.com/jp9000/OBS/releases

Anyone know how to fix birate issues??..

I've never had a problem with it before until now & everything else is fine concerning frames per second / round trip.. My birate is 372 all of a sudden it's dropped when usually it's always Excellent... Any tips on how this can be fixed or troubleshooter??

Could be not enough lighting. Have you done anything differently with your adjustments through the software? And then sometimes the webcam just gives up. Everytime I get a new cam my bitrate gets higher than the one before. Lots of things to trouble shoot here.

I don't use SMB but FMLE... I mean... It's always been fine up until now so I really have no clue. I haven't made any drastic changes at all. And my webcam is practically still brand new.. Does birate also somehow affect placement??

^^ Bitrate is pretty important, the higher it is, the better your picture quality. Ideally you want it around 2000-2500. Your upload speed dictates your bitrate the most. The better your upload speeds provided by your ISP, the better your bitrate for the most part provided your computer is fast and all other things being sound.

I was using studio 17, added a source and edited the settings to what was posted in the Obs thread but for whatever reason my stream had a huge lag. I just downloaded Classic. Had issues with audio. For some reason it wasn't working(audio levels showed that my sound was working but there wasn't sound when streaming or recording. I think its because I'm using a capture card and a separate mic) but I googled and info stated to use 64 bit Obs and change the audio codec to Acc. Everything is running smooth now. Thank you for posting the screenshots/helping.

^^^ I used the studio version & something went wrong with the video size, even i set it to 1280x720 it was not looking wide screen on SM but regular square with a black band on the right side so i figured i need to fiddle some more with the settings before i can get the best out of it; cammed with SMB last nite but will configure the OBS classic today. I wish SM would support this software or make SMB better, they said the final version will be ready sometimes this month i remember?!
Ty PGD for posting the videos, i'll try the classic version cause the studio one seemed a bit more complicated/confusing.

Hi Everyone! I am new (although I have been obsessively reading the forum for the past couple months) so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I have been camming part time since December and I have been loving it. Streamate is the only site I've managed to make decent money on so far, however recently an issue has stopped the money.

No matter what I do, users cannot hear my sound. I've tried 3 different mics (c920, blue yeti, and laptop built-in), two different laptops, using and not using the encoder. All mics are working great on chaturbate and to record sound for videos. I've come to believe that it must be a setting either in the chrome browser or on my streamate account, but I cannot locate the issue anywhere. I am 100% sure the mute button is not accidentally on.

I am usually pretty tech savvy, so I feel totally discouraged by my inability to figure out this issue. It has been happening for 3 days. I contacted Streamate support, but haven't heard anything back yet. Has anyone run into a similar problem, or have any idea what may be causing this? Thanks so much for being such a great community!

Ive had audio issues as well. And I use chrome too. Ive had to listen to the mic while Im streaming and that seems to reset it. You go to your system tray right click the audio button. Select recording device and when you see your yeti or whatever right click on that to get to the properties. Just in case you didnt know how to reach it. Lots of people have had audio issues for a few months on SM it seems. I'm hearing this more and more.

It looks like SM changed the sections and I cannot find myself in the transgirl section where I belong!! Someone asked me about this on Wednesday but I didn't give it much thought. I'm always on the top of my section when I'm on SM and I can't find myself at all now. Sent a message to support but I think I can assume I'll be making nothing today, since nobody can find me on the site and I've had nobody enter my room today. Annoyed!!

I want to say that this has something to do with how you added a device? I've had the red screen before but I can't remember what solved it? After you right click in the center box and select add capture device, the next window you select your camera from the drop down and select enter. You don't really need to mess around with anything else.

I blocked my location but when logged into a customer account, I can still see myself on my puffin browser on my iPad, but not when I checked from safari or from my laptop browsers.

And i believe if you've blocked any region at all you won't show up to anyone unless logged in and also won't show up as a similar suggested model.

Let me tell you why I use obs, its because I need to splitcam in order to make money and remain upbeat. It is very slow there. But the smbroadcaster does not allow for splitcamming. My particular demeanor is not made for long hangout sessions where I sit around waiting for a whale Jesus himself to come along. If you feel like you're missing out on money then try streaming at least two sites at once. That's why I use obs when I log on SM. I don't let the fear of a placement drop effect my decision to not use that broadcaster.

I got suspended once but not for that. It was a misunderstanding. If it just happened then IMMEDIATELY respond to the email kindly explaining that you did nothing wrong and you're confused as to why it happened. Ask them for screenshots. Let them know that you fully understand the rules and have nothing but respect for their policies and never in a million years would do anything that would jeopardize the sites structure blah blah blah. If you need to work then you will need to respond right away.

Thank you for the reply. I did exactly that and got the screenshot... Only the screenshot SM sent me shows me not just full on naked but with my dildo, in action! Now I have been a camgirl for many years on SM. I have NEVER done anything like that in free chat! I don't even show my boobs in free chat even though that is allowed. I was expecting a screenshot where you could see me from behind with my panties sliding half down but still covering everything before starting a GoldShow, but not this! I am really shocked!

The only explanation I can give is that someone entered my pvt show (or the first 30seconds without paying) made screenshots, photoshopped that to make it look as guest chat and sent it to SM reporting me. The person that sent it didn't crop his/her screenshot enough to cut out the tabs of the browser. So in the screenshot I can still see lots of tabs of pages in spanish and even the tab of a logged in SM performer page of a south american model I don't know and whose name I am not going to mention of course.

If it has been someone photoshopping the screenshot on purpose it would be very worrying! This could happen on a regular basis now if someone is really after me. I just don't know what to with this. There is no way I can proof anything to SM support now.

There are instances where the delay was so bad that your performance was being shown in free chat. Like some sort of delay? Its happened to me where a guy was like damn dem titties and I was fully dressed. He was seeing the end of the show. Lots of models here have complained about this. Now Im gonna assume that you aren't straight diddling yourself at the very beginning of a session, so more than likely the screenshots came from the end of a show that was shown in free chat. And some hater was on their job and sent that crap in.

i was in a lengthy exclusive session recently and 5-10 minutes in the person kept asking for my number and i kept nicely telling them both verbally as well as typing that i can not and it is against the rules. in between me performing and teasing this person kept calling me a liar and i told them i was not lying and that the owner makes the rules and if i was the owner i would make less rules (was trying to remain cutesie and friendly). this person was persistent but was remaining in my exclusive so of course i kept teasing and performing. stupid me, after explaining 100 million times it's against the rules i said or typed (can't remember) give me yours . now was i purposely trying to solicit off the site? of course not. but after several minutes of the back and forth and me thinking about the possible low rating or negative review and only speaking English i ran out of ways to say 'no' nicely. Soon as idiotic me said/typed 'give me yours' they typed 'why does everyone on here want my number' ... and i explained one last time it was against the rules. the person logged out and instantly i knew it was a set up or model. the hustler in me of course wanted to keep the show going especially with the current state of things (glitches and next to no traffic) but my gut kept telling me to watch this person. this person was waiting for me to break the rules so they can take it to support. it was my first time in any trouble on the 3 1/2 years i have been on here. luckily i screencapped part of the show chat and submitted it to every email that i had. my intentions are to never break the rules and i explained that. luckily i got the suspension lifted. needless to say, a simple slip will get you in trouble and it's not worth it. i will say this though, the increased connection issues are worrying me cause god for bid there is a glitch or some hateful model they can send screencaps and get you in trouble even if not on your end :(

You know, I think that's happening to me.
When I'm in a private, I see guys I've had sessions with,( and new guys), just sitting in my chat.
I'm wondering why they aren't joining me, even though I invite them to.
Soon as I get back into chat, they quickly disappear.
Hmm.

Holy shit was a slow night on SM..nothing but crickets. Not even worth logging in for. Maybe slow night due to MLK holiday but not sure.

Why did they fuck with the topic layout? Free chat topic and gold show topic.
It looks like shit now, you can't even out texts to make them easy to read. Why for God's sake!

me too! i was in free chat fully clothed when all the sudden a surge in traffic is in my free chat and everyone was like 'omg bb those tits, omg you must be so horny'....next thing you know i get a text from a friend saying wtf you never dildo your twat in free chat what's going on. LMAO. as soon as i check free chat i click on my video and BAM, i'm bouncing on my dildo. felt like i was on PUNKD!!! soon as i saw that i sent an email support. luckily no issues. if any of you perv the main page and are following a model on social networking and you see something like that please say something!!!

Well, I did some of my own research. In this screenshot I can see the exact time and the date the screenshot was taken shown on the PC of the person that reported me. That girl is from Colombia so I compared the time of the screenshot with what I was doing at that exact same time on streamate (comparing Colombian time to GMT which SM uses on my dashboard). And it shows CLEARLY that I was in an exclusive session. So what you girls are saying makes total sense.

Something similar happened to me about 2 years when I noticed that viewers in the free chat block started to get a bit too enthousiastic about a private session I was in. So I got suspicious and asked "Can you see me?" and they were like "Yes! Don't stop". It was not a delay at that time but a glitch where people in free chat saw everything too. I even reported it at support at that time.

This 'show playing in free chat' glitch got me yesterday too! I made my goal for a gold show and entered the paid chat started the show and everyone typed there was a lag at the same time. So I spend the whole gold show dealing with pissed off horny men who can't see or hear me and then I return to free chat to a suddenly jam packed room telling me how great my tits are etc. Suspicious I load my room in a separate tab and low and behold there is my gold show playing in free chat!

I was beyond pissed and emailed support to let them know what the deal was, avoided a suspension thank fuck! Basically the guys who paid for the gold show didn't get to see it and a roomful of freeloaders did, so annoyed. Told all the guys to contact support for a refund but I got paid for the show.
