My placement is dropping for no real reason. I have been on more hours which is normally poor everything is excellent I don't get it? Okay some days have been slow lately but i'm pretty sure that is going to be universal?
On a separate issue this morning has been insane what is going on the room is just empty.... As never before.

Anyone not liking the SMB or OSB? I feel like I'm getting too many black screens with them and always go back to the Flash Encoder.
I actually noticed when I was checking on my stream and then if others were bad, that the black screen flashes for a moment and then goes back. its weird. almost like its refreshing or something. I don't watch for long as I am usually just checking the stream. but it always happens.

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.
This is so crazy! Hope not more girls are getting suspended over this glitch in their system. Probably this failure is causing a rise in suspended girls who then in turn cannot make any $$$ for SM...
SM are shooting themselves in the foot! And pissed off customers that cannot see a show they paid for will get fed up.

Yea my traffic the last 2 days has been horrible, i sat last night for the first time with not one person coming in like 15 mins and if they did logged out as soon as they logged in. Im still converting what little im getting but its had a huge drop recently for me anyhow. Hope it picks up for us all.

My lag/response time was 7-10+ seconds off all night. It was so frustrating to have conversations with people. Tons of "user connection issues" in free chat, and a lot of regulars who kept randomly leaving/getting kicked out. The exclusive button was acting up a lot too. I'd get a request, then before I could click "accept" the exclusive message would disappear after like 3 seconds.
Based on another person's post I'm all paranoid about the delay from a private showing up in free chat - so I've been pausing for a break for at least a few minutes after a private show in hopes that that saves me from any potential lag problems.
That's a good idea. I will try that too! Hope it keeps us safe from unwillingy showing our privates in guest chat.

Yea its scary i do the same thing i go straight to break after. Last night was so odd, during one pvt when they logged out i went straight into free chat the 30 sec box didnt even show then a few seconds later it went to it. So weird was the first time i seen that happen.

Also on the c2c with the mic on i could hear myself in the background during one show and the lag was atleast 15 secs. I hope this gets sorted, just want to work normally again.

I don't like to complain about SM but when my guys tell me it won't let them go private and when they're in private, they cannot see me, I'm really bothered... sigh.
Chellyinparadise
01-18-2017, 02:27 PM
Yea i agree marina , i try to stay positive most of the time but constant issues are weighing on all of us and the members. Have to speak up sometimes. Hope things get fixed so we can just work and make money without all the issues happening.

I'm getting the black screen flashing thing too. A few guys notified me of it. Different guys so I know it's a problem. Thought it was just me. SM really needs to get their shit together. There are also guys complaining they can't take me exclusive.

Yes, the sound lag is much worse than it used to be.

The tech issues have been so bad the last week and half. Shit happens, I understand that if they are switching over from flash that there are gonna be bumps in the road. I can roll with that as the cost of working on a site that aims to be top of the line in terms of streaming quality.
What chaps my hide, as always, is the fact that they so flagrantly don't give a shit about keeping us, the people that give them SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT of what we bill for them, in the loop at all. They will never give us better support because better support would cost more money and take effort, and at the end of the day Streamate cares about their bottom line and that's it. They don't give a shit about model retention because the nature of the sex industry works in their favor as there is always a turnover coupled with a constant influx of new talent. They won't tell us when there are obvious tech issues happening because they want us to log on. I hate this phrase, but it is what it is. That being said, check out twitter if you wanna get your kicks because I have never seen so many models just ripping them to shreds and calling them out as with the latest round of glitches. It's a dumpster fire and I've been loving watching them get read every which way! }:D

I feel like I have more issues with audio than anything..
Four or five different regs had to keep refreshing my stream because I was muted on their end? Was super frustrating.
TrifilinCamHo
01-18-2017, 07:23 PM
Yeah I got so many complaints about audio and lag last night in particular. Tell your dudes to keep refreshing and/or close and re-open their browser if they're having audio issues, *sometimes* that will fix it.

Right now im just sitting here on cam and decided to check my feed and all i see is a black screen and a spinning circle. So noone can even see me at all. Using the sm broadcaster anyone else experiencing this right now? Ive logged in and out numerous times and still same issue.

I got more black screens with the SMB but not as many with the Flash Encoder. Are you using chrome?

Marina you know i just thought about this but i remember last night that a member who spends on me kept having issues and he kept trying in and out of pvt and he couldnt get my cam to load in pvt but in free he could see me but he said hold on let me switch and he told me he changed browsers and i asked him which one he said firefox so must be true with the new layout with chrome. It just dawned on me what he said after you mentioned that.
Marina Starr
01-18-2017, 07:57 PM
I had a reg tried to sent his cam 10 times in pvt using chrome, it did not work until he switched to Explorer. Chrome is a very heavy browser and sm is a heavy site. Adding the two together = we're fucked LMAO!

I always hear myself any time the guy c2cs and uses his mic without using headphones, it's not a glitch. Also I think the lag might have to do with how far away you are located from the guy you're camming with, I had a guy in Australia that I would c2c with a lot and we always seemed to have like 12-30 second lag. Recently I did c2c with a guy in SoCal where I am and there was NO lag, he was instantly responding to my questions.

Thanks for the info. He was in cali and normally we dont have that lag he usually does c2c with me alot. But for some reason it was lagging behind not only on c2c but in free chat as well for alot of people. It eventually worked itself out but it didnt get this bad till recently. Just strange. But i agree with you on the lag time and difference for some cause yes it does happen like that. Thanks for the reply appreciate it. Edited to add that i had a guy from taiwan c2c last night and his response time was close to 25 secs it seemed lol was awful,so i hear you on the other countries, it can be way more lag time than some haha

Or opera. Opera is very very light on the cpu. Chrome and chromium however use more than the damn encoders these days. if it wasnt for the lovesence plug-in i would ditch them

Wish I knew about this earlier had a customer try to do c2c and his screen was just black....I never had that happen before and I guess I just found out why...then on top of that I had a guy finally tell me my video kept going black then back to normal smh....sm is showing us no mercy...:(
I repeatedly ask if people can hear & see me AND I type it. Yet, there's little response. Maybe 1 in 20 people actually let me know they can hear and see me in free chat. I noticed the black screen flash too. I think it started when they started having the flashing LIVE on our screens and think it may be related. If SM wants exclusive models, this isn't the way to do it. Spending my down time (it's pointless to log in) looking into other options.
THIS. I can't even log in to work right now. Tried everything. The guys can't see me b/c the video is all fucked up. So frustrating, and we get no email about anything. Making no $ is depressing as fuck. Come on SM!!!

Last night was a serious fucking abortion between the c2c feature not working, the phone feature not working and the amount of time I spent in free chat. I was grateful I made such a nice living from SM but it's been over a week of slowness... this is concerning.
