When I go to recored it seems to be doing right. Then I go to the vids and go to watch them and there's just a black screen?? Plz help anyone. I love being naughty and would love to recored my shows!!!
^^ Maybe it's because you're not actually streaming live. The broadcaster is for performers, not customers.

I would like to know how they determine whats appropriate and what isn't? Because I get called a n*gger once a week. How does that word slip through? Or skype?
I've had trouble sending messages containing words "rape", "pee", "incest" and "bestiality" (so I have to get really metaphorical explaining my limits, just to make sure the custie gets my message), but I've seen guys send those to me no problem (don't know how it is at the moment).

I'm moving this post over hear because I know that many of us have had issues with audio on SM. My particular issue was when I used OBS or the FMLE that my voice got drowned out if I had my ac/heating unit running or my music at the same time. But in the SM Broadcast no problems with those specific issues. Maybe someone else will come forward and explain the black screen problem.

Hi ladies
I know this was answered awhile back but how do you go back to using the older version of the SM broadcaster? I think it's version 16 because Version 20 blows ass!

Has anyone noticed a DOWNTURN in successful gold shows? It doesn't matter what the buy in is or duration they just do NOT tip in, even for girls that are giving it their all during countdowns (which I never do) they are still not hitting goals.
However it is not a money issue because I often get out of a failed gold show and get whisked away into exclusive by one of the guys in the room, so did guys suddenly get less cheap or want us to themselves.
I'm very confused. Or is it because of #smglitch they are worried that the show won't happen or get cut short and they don't realise they get their money back and only us models end up out of pocket if that happens?!

Goldshows have been on the decline for a few years now. People used to ask for $300-$400 to start a show and would start the count over if they didnt hit it. I had just started on SM and was amazed when they would walk away from $275 because it was $25 lower than the goal. And then gradually the goals got lower and lower. Now I think a lot of cammers just start the show hoping that more will join in after they hit start.

THank you. I've seen (and reported) it, and I should say it happens somewhat randomly. Some people get the blur, some see me just fine. I check my room, and the feed is nice and clear, then I refresh and it's pixelated AF, and the SMB says all is peachy. I have a widget on showing the bandwidth usage, and I can say for sure there was no sudden dip - so it's probably on the site's end. I saw it happen in other rooms, as well - including the top row ones.
I noticed the same thing the last two shifts. Sometimes I check my vid and it's pixelated, other times it's crystal clear. Sometimes it gets clear after I refresh but other times it won't. My cpu stays at 16% with sm and fmle alone, up to 35% when splitting two other sites, skype and youtube, and my connection is stable. It's definitely SM and it's worse than last year's "streamgate".

Holy Shit...what is going on tonight. Im not use SMB. Using FMLE. Normally top row of bbw and half way to 2/3 down all cam models category. No major hits to my #s other than ive cut back some hours. Today I log in and not getting much traffic other then some regulars. (thank god for regulars). I checked im dead last for bbw that are online and after going 8 pages deep @80 per page and not being on any of those im beside myself on what the hell happened!!
Even with FMLE im getting some bad stuff happening on the site. Also have 150/150mbps and this is the only PC using that internet hardwired with cat 6. The rest of the house has a 350/25 connection

heads up ladies..if you use another encoder other than SMB right now your placement is going to be horrendous...like im said usually top 60 models when Im on and top 3-4 in bbw..using FMLE was dead last bbw and not even top 500 on all cam models category. I switched to SMB and my placement is back. not sure if its "bug" or if SM is forcing the SMB on us.

who knows. I switched to SMB but its crap. After about 10 mins my FPS dropped from solid 30 to 1. Had to restart the app. Then get into an exclusive and boom beginning of a show did it again. Said screw it and went back to FMLE. My placement is normal now so not sure what the hell is going on. Unfortunately my show never came back so lost out on quite a bit of money because it was C2C and he didnt seem to be in a hurry. So annoyed!

I've been experiencing the same thing. I've been using the Smb-v16 for about 1-2 weeks to see if it will bring in more money (more like bring my earnings back to where it use to be). These last few days its been dropping to 25, 18, 2 and all the way down to 0.75. I thought it was because I was using wifi. I kept restarting my stream and reopening the broadcaster but it kept doing it. I tried streaming with Obs but my placement seemed to go all over when I used it.

Same here. I got a message on my Twitter from a reg that because of the snow storm he'd be around to play.
After several times trying to get his cam to load, he just gave up. No message from him, just poof! Gone. He was so pissed .
Another guy who I'd never seen, said he wanted to go exclusive, but then got so upset because he couldn't hear me in free chat.
Add up all the custie who tell me they have left the site because they're tired of the glitches....
Blah.
I'm afraid that the site is broken, and won't ever go back to what it was.
Such a shame.
I really loved it there.

I tried OBS but kept getting the same old glitches (random quality drops and freezups, sound delay). Probably it's the site and not your computer or whatever you run on it, so not worth risking the placement.

For someone who is usually never in freechat, it is DEAD today. I dunno why, its a Friday, Fridays are usually super busy for me. I thought it might have been because I raised my rates recently, so I put them back down, and it is still in fact, dddddeeeeaaaadddddd. Theres people in and out of my room, in and out, but no spenders and there is an awful lot of models on today whutttt.
Fuck you Friday!
HollyJaydeXXX
02-10-2017, 08:37 AM
Dead ya'll...
Even the girls in the top row are really struggling. I tend to pop in and out of rooms, gauging the traffic and today was the first time I saw so many pissed off models calling people fucking idiots LOL
Personally, I have been on for 2 hours and I had one 2 minute private and made about $3. For the week total, I have made $115 in 7 hours. I mean, I've had worse weeks so I am not upset by it, but I do have bills to pay.
Really wondering why I keep coming back to camming and doing this shit to myself.
My last job (midtown NYC, sales, great company) paid me about $27/hr. (40+ hrs/week) plus commission and I got all kinds of benefits and perks... but OF COURSE I got complacent and was like 'I could be camming and making $50 an hour at home with my dogs'
Realizing that was a huge mistake. At least I could count on my income and my bills were always paid.
Does anyone else struggle with bouncing back and forth between jobs and camming? Like camming starts sucking ass so you go get a vanilla job and they after a few months you start with the whole 'grass is greener' bullshit? I do and I think it has ruined me... since I started camming 7 years ago I have bounced back and forth every six months or so.
I mean, when I started camming it was so convenient and the money just rolled in. Now I feel like it is pulling teeth, the people are idiots and I am starting to struggle with the whole 'how much is my time/body worth?' issue... like, I feel like I am worth so much more than the bullshit I get from SM. Getting tired of sharing my time and body with fucking idiots for less than $2 a minute (my cut) and then spending 80% of my time entertaining fucking losers who need to be castrated.
