So I'm running the New-fangled smb right now and it calibrates my BCC950 on an I-7 @ 640x480 and says it's currently running on 320x240. FML.

SMBroadcast you big b. Downloaded it yesterday and it was working fine, but today I open it up and I'm all pixelated! Why is this happening. Restarted my laptop and no change. Recalibrated and no change. The Stream Health section still shows 1280x720, 20% CPU usage, 30fps. Back to the encoder for me I guess.

I've had it up to here with SM's glitchfest.

FUCK the new SMBroadcast. It looks like shit and takes up over a half of my display (not a small one) if I want the functionality of the previous version accessible. When I try shrinking it the video preview gets way too small and awfully pixelated. I now literally can't have both my chat and the SMB open and fully visible at the same time. Am I now required to get a dual display ot an HD TV just to be able to stream? Fuck that noise.

This is what they've been busy with instead of fixing the tech issues and getting the viewer interface make at least some sense. Talk about adding insult to injury =/

I don;t think it's on my end. To many complaining about it. I did a speedtest this am and ping 14 download 89.19 upload 10.05. Logitech says there's no driver updates for my bcc950. Just wtf streamate. I guess you're just kicking me to the curb.

Nothing like losing work and $$ b/c I'm not a tech person and don't have a clue half the damn time. I can figure things out but it usually wastes half my damn day and then my motivation is less than -0-. Going back to the old smb version. Hoping that solves it for now. Please stop fucking with shit and just make it easier for us to WORK.

Yep
I am still a flash media live encoder 3.1 fan, after all those upgrades they still havent confinced me to ditch it

Btw is it on my end or is every cam on sm grainy and pixelated right now? (i just checked out some rooms, and they were blacking out and pixelating)

I think the blacking out/black flashes is a new thing they've added to re-calibrate the stream on the customers ends. It seems like its searching for the best stream for the user. They need to fix it so that it only does it once or when and if their wifi/internet drops because its constantly doing it, shit is annoying af.

Ugh that sucks
it gives the feeling that the cam isnt working right, if I were a customer I wouldnt like that shit.. as a camgirl I dont like it neither
sm should step their game up

Ok heres my input on my experience with the new broadcaster last night. I had way less problems and only seen one user connection issue and one exclusive not go through. The c2c seemed to work for me but not the phone. But.. the traffic was awful like my placement was way off, i have excellent in all categories so i shouldnt be buried in the pages but seems like i am. So there are still issues going on but the glitches on my end were not as bad as the last 4 nights were. I made way less last night than the other nights because of way less traffic but when i asked the guys if my stream and audio was clear and in sync they said it was, the ones who respond anyhow. Now dont get me wrong i know there are still issues going on but i am trying to be optimistic in sm and hope they will just listen to us models and fix the issues so that we can get our site back the way it used to be. It has been very stressful putting more hours in and working way harder but hopefully they will soon address what is going on with why it has turned so drastically downhill on the site and fix whatever needs to be fixed. I only worked one night with the broadcaster so i may be jumping the gun on it working a little better and maybe it was a fluke that i didnt have as many disconnects and user connection issues but im just expressing my experience with it last night. Hopefully soon sm will address us models and correct this. Hope everyone does well and hope that things can and will change for the better very soon for everyone.

I have version 14 on my gaming rig. I won't upgrade. Is 20 even worth it? Going to cam from this again but thinking about keeping 14 until 20 is better... or when the next version comes out.

EllieGold
01-20-2017, 03:39 PM

Welp. I was optimistic this morning after I talked to my ISP and they reset my modem from their end. But nope. Still sitting here in 680x420 and the fps are still dropping. I went from the Old smb back to the new. Neither is working correctly for me. I took 2 days off at the beginning of the week and the last 3 days have been a no. I most likely won't hit payout again this week. I've been camming since 2013 never have I not been able to cam like this before. I have comcast Blast so 10 mbs or mps or whatever upload. When they tell me to speedtest it to seattle I'm getting 3.70 upload on speakeasy.net. I'm going to go get some lunch and fuck with this damn beast when I get back. I think I'm going to try the encoder next. ---Oh looky it's got me down to 320x280 with the adaptive streaming checked off. FML. I can't work like this. All this tech stuff and other sites don't ask for all that crap. BUT, I see others streaming just fine. Sooooo, maybe it's my end? I don't see how though. Grrrrrrrr. Now they've got me talking pirate.

I've assumed that's just Streamate 'legal speak' to cover their ass. If Adobe Corp gets hacked or some weird shit goes down with Adobe software, Streamate doesn't want to be part of your lawsuit.

I think if you look at any other site's download Terms of Service, it will say something like it.

The fun never ends with SM. Haven't worked on there in 3 weeks because they won't accept my new ID, won't let me upload a new pic of the ID, and now won't even respond to my request to close my account so I can just start over. My one good regular is blowing up my inbox, and I'm just sitting here missing out on hundreds of dollars :(

Today go back to my one true love the FMLE :iloveyou: - over $300 in less time.

'Nuff said, fuck the SMB it doesn't like my beast of a gaming laptop evidently. Totally screwed up my weekly goal trying out their piece of shit 'new and improved' broadcaster :'(

Thank you bb and may I say that I have perved a few times on your room when gauging how busy the site is from time and time and you are gorgeous, girl crush!

Thank you also for confirming that I am indeed where I believe I am in placement as I am never sure if it is a glitch or I really am that high up. Some people have confirmed it for me but I still don't believe it lol. A fellow camgirl has now confirmed it for me.

P.S. My profile pic is almost always my boobs in some form or another play to your strengths and all that ;)

so after reading about the new SMB and how they will recieve better placement decided to give it a shot. Running an 8 core AMD processor..it takes my processor to 75% usage and my audio no longer matches my lips. Looks like back to FMLE. Wondering how bad the difference in placement. With SMB im running currently #1 bbe and like half way up first page for All models. Only time will tell.

01-22-2017, 01:49 AM
SMB: audio lag, occasional disconnects, occasional audio loss, freezing

FMLE: random visuals slowing down for 5-10 secs then speeding back up to live feed, bitrate jumping all over the place

Whaaaaat is going oooooon

I deleted that damn broadcaster from my laptop. I only downloaded it out of curiosity damned if my cpu didn't start to spike up to 80%? I made two recent changes in the past few days one was an adobe flash update and the other was the smb. I do believe that other people have noticed a spike in their cpu after brand new downloads? Eff that noise. Wasted so much time yesterday troubleshooting the issue and all I really should have done was not downloaded something I didn't need in the first place.

Thanks Marina. Those were my settings too. I don't know why it's eating so much cpu. That did not used to happen.

I did pretty well with the new broadcaster today. Not nearly as many problems as the last few days.

I want to buy a new computer soon. Mine is okay but not the best. It's an I7 Dell XPS8500 with 8GB RAM. It's over 4 years old.

01-22-2017, 02:34 PM
So I got a message on SM about SM Broadcast


We believe SMBroadcast is the easiest and fastest way for most models to reach their personal best video quality. Sometime soon, models streaming with SMBroadcast will receive slightly higher placement priority. Placement is affected by many factors (read more on our Placement page). Stay tuned for an official announcement in the future.

We will continue to update SMBroadcast regularly with new features and improvements. We want SMBroadcast to be your favorite streaming tool! If you're not using it yet, we hope you give this latest version a try and let us know what you think.

Does this mean that those of us who us OBS will get lower placement than those using SMBroadcst?

MistressX
01-22-2017, 04:30 PM
Probably^

They want to force us to use SMB. The girls might not care if it worked properly.

KarinaGiselle
01-22-2017, 04:50 PM
It's strange because OBS actually allows me to send a better quality stream using less resources in my computer, so forcing us to use a crappy software makes no sense.

Seriously, why didn't Streamate simply adopted OBS and contributed into that open source project? Would've been better.

OBS Studio is incredibly easy to use nowadays, much more stable and more polished.

It makes sense if you're thinking the way SM does(#SMlogic). They do not want us to splitcam so there's no way they'd adopt the OBS even though it gives better quality and is easier on our computers. They don't care about it; giving better quality, being less taxing on our computer and being cheaper in the long run for models and most likely for them as well. They only care about the fact that we can splitcam with it so they will never adopt it. They deliberately created the SMB so that it doesn't allow split programs and so that we can not/would not split.

I believe that they deliberately created the newer SMB versions in a way so that it takes up more pc usage because they know that some ladies use a 2nd webcam to split. They also most likely know that models browse while streaming and have other programs open. They want models undivided attention and stream directed towards SM and SM only.

To me it seems like they are deliberately doing whatever they can to stop us from splitting as well as doing anything else while streaming. BUT YO SM NEWSFLASH ITS NOT WORKING!!!!!!! YOU CAN NOT STOP US FROM SPLITTING. Increase the pc usage, make the broadcast take up the whole screen, etc....that's not going to stop some of us...we can buy a separate computer and another monitor. There is no stopping some of us from splitting. There are more important things to focus on but you(SM) wanna bullshit. OK I'm done!!!!

heyho
01-22-2017, 05:42 PM
^I wonder why they're so against splitting. The only downside is that sometimes you talk to custies on other sites and SM custies are like "huh who she talking to" which is not even a big problem at all. ANd maybe for some lower-end PCs stream quality might be affected, but we all know SM gives better rankings to HD streams so we'd be doing our best to prioritize bandwidth for SM anyways.

If I can't split, I'm gonna cam on SM 3 hours and then log the hell off and go on my other sites for the next 3 hours. If I'm splitting, SM would've gotten me all 6 hours. Is that not better for them? Stupid fugs.

MistressX
01-22-2017, 06:15 PM
Blovely you hit the nail on the head! SM is so selfish they really are just shooting themselves in the foot... again. Surprise surprise! I will be buying a better computer in the next couple months and SM will not be stopping me from splitting if I want to. I dont because I dont have the attention span lol but I may start doing so.. or attempting to
