Lol! Bitrate drop started for me over one week ago. No one seemed to have issues back then so I bought a new router. It stopped dropping for a few days so I'll think it was my end. But last shifts, it did again. No way it's my end again lol. No no no. With a new computer, new router, can't be me. If I wasn't reading how others are having issues as well I would probably buy a new cam this time. LOL.
Stupid site.

These streaming quality factors thus the lack of shows because I am on page 3544000 because of that, makes me wanna cry. I use the smb. Any thoughts how to solve that would be much appreciated ladies. 47575

Are the glitches happening on the smbroadcast and the fmle encoder?

I think this is it. I literally cant stream any more. Visitors see a black screen. No stream loading.
I think we all need to step up and demand financial compensation from SM. Glitches were one thing but this is another level. I just CANT work right now. It is impossible in every way. I tried 2 encoders, 2 browsers, 2 system reboots and it is still not working. There are still girls who make lots of money on the site and that is great. They must be lucky, tech wise. I made like 12$ in an hour. My stream only worked for like ten minutes. They are literally preventing us from making money.
I am super afraid but I think I have to look at another site at this moment.

This site is beyond a joke now. About an hour ago I was thrown off so logged back on and that stupid FPS annoyance hit hard throwing me onto page 5!!!! I'm normally on page 1 row 1-2 so I thought that was the most annoying thing that could happen.
I was soooo wrong... I check my placement in the last half hour and yay I'm back where I should be (stuck it out and just sat online until the FPS sorted itself out) BUT... on Chrome my stream is also just a black screen.
What the FUUUUCCCCKKKK is wrong with this site? How do they suggest we hustle to make them money when no one can see us let alone spend on us?!
It's funny because I use the Edge browser (Windows 10 Microsoft) and not only is the old layout still on there but there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the streams. They are ALL perfect with a 5-10 sec delay but that is nothing compared to every other browser.
TELL CUSTIES TO USE MICROSOFT EDGE BROWSER AND STAY AWAY FROM CHROME!!!!!!!! I've had two exclusives since I told them to do this glitch free and... with c2c. I'm starting to think the browser is the damn problem.

@Teddy_Bear. It's not just you. I am normally on page 1, top 5 rows. Today saw myself there briefly, and then I was thrown back to page 3 and 4. I checked my ranking and it had my bitrate and fps at 0.00 and 0.05 when my SM broadcaster and encoder (I tried both) were reading a steady 28-30 fps with "best" quality. Total BS.

this whole mess has pushed me back too im normally on the bottom of page 1 -tope of page 2 and last time i checked my placement i couldnt find myself at all no wonder i didnt make anything yesterday i made like $2 yesterday . i made more on cams.com yesterday for fucks sake.

I just want to say that it is nice to have you all to talk to when the shit hits the fan. Just knowing that I'm not alone in this struggle helps a lot. Now let's just hope and pray to the cam gods that everything gets sorted out by tomorrow so we can love SM again.

3 years on SM and I always find myself loving the SM gods, no matter what. It always works out no matter how irritating. At least I can pour myself a glass of wine and lay in my bed to decompress. something I could never do when I was bartending or serving tables.
annoyances come with any job so I've really calmed down a lot since joining SM. I used to be one of the whiniest people on this thread. In the end rent is always paid and some weeks are slow but at the end of the year I always love the outcome. It's worth it in the end...the customers always come back...esp when you have a good attitude and aren't phased by it. Good luck and get your $$$$!!! It's out there!!! Just smile and grab it

I love this! Thank you so much. I totally agree! Even with all the glitches, I'm still not that far from my weekly goal. When you have great custies who love you, they always cum back :).
So is site back to normal now?! Dont know if i should get ready to cam or not?!

I don't know but I think it's worth trying. For me it was worse this morning. It smoothed out a little bit in the afternoon. My placement was back to normal, although my bitrate was still showing lower than usual.

I had the bitrate drop straight to 350 the moment I logged in. Restarted encoder and worked fine. I even had a half hour session with c2c working, what a miracle lol. I'm only online for an hour but so far it was ok.

I went from page 1 to page 7! ;) I think I fixed it, I went into a gold show for like 3 hours and it eventually fixed itself. That's after I uninstalled and reinstalled every version of SMbroadcast and even the encoder. it went up little by little. Its been fine since then, but we will see.

For those having issues with placement and ranking, I experienced this today (screenshot) and it is 100% inaccurate! I have a bomb PC built for camming, business FIOS and a brand new Logitech c920. During this time I was on the bottom of page 7, as opposed to page 1 and in the very last spot for Pornstar.
It took about 30 minutes for it to work itself out! Placement is back to normal and ranking is accurate again, except bitrate which is still working to accurately rank.
I share your frustrations in that these technical issues are becoming more severe and more common. I wish the site would put some effort into fixing it but for the mean time at least we know the ranking and placement issues resolve themselves.

^^^ Ty!! for letting us know it was the same to u as well. It happened to me too last nite, i sat logged in just to see what is happening and after a while i came back from page 6 to page one OMG! Everything fixed itself in a matter of... 45 mins to one hr maybe? I sat there in a dead room listening to motivational videos on youtube LOL ;)

I agree! Today is a much better day. Made my goal in 2 hours. I didn't experience any major glitche's, only 1 person couldn't hear me but maybe that was just him because everyone else heard me just fine.
I concur. It should work like this all the time!!

so it looks like taking wed off to do maintenance on my computer making $2 all night and thursday and taking friday off from not wanting to deal with the gliches and having my placement tank from having a shitty broadcast it did it anyway. I'm normally on the bottom of page 1 or the first three rows on page 2 i just logged in for the day and im on the top of 4 fucking rediculus

03-04-2017, 09:02 PM
They announced on twitter the rankings glitch is fixed lol...that shit with you guys getting weird readings on the rankings page.. we'll see about that. I'm wondering when they're going to make the site work right and get better traffic. It seems all the good guys have left and we're left with either our regulars that have stuck around or low quality, rude beggars. I feel bad for girls that are new and have no regs yet.

03-04-2017, 09:24 PM

blaaah lol me too, the software wont work for me. im also having problems with cam2cam :/ i feel like they gave up on the regular site and only care about us using the software

Some of us dont have time to " stay the fuck on". We used to but not anymore. This is why its wrong to wait 45 min- 1 hour for the placement to " fix itself". I still believe in my theory that we get placed on good servers and bad servers depending on who knows what. ( I recall KatM had this theory too). I still do believe some models get better treatment than others. It is what it is. They should just sell SM to someone else who can understand this business better. Or at least hire some models to work for them. Hell just offer a few good models 100 $ to give their honest opinion on this and that change. Or not even pay them. Or whatever! Just listen to your models, SM. Why can't you just listen?
Yeah. The days when I had something else to do and have an hour or two to get on I'm like- nah. If I knew I could make money I'd be there.

I must be on a bad server because my ranking still blows and I know it's not that bad. I can't find myself within the first 8 pages, so I must be buried somewhere. It's NEVER been like this for me before. I'm used to being on page 1. WTF???!
UPDATE: 30 minutes later I'm back on page 1.. Bitrate is the only thing that is taking forever to increase even though the broadcaster says it's 2300, ranking shows me at 300 and increasing slowly every few minutes. .

No glitches but no money either. I think the past two months have scared all the big spenders off not that I blame them. All I get nowadays are people begging for gold shows and insulting me for my prices. What has happened to this site?
