I have had the worst traffic this week. Monday was my only good day. It's like pulling teeth trying to get these guys to get a show. I'm sitting for hours with nothing. They pop in and they pop back out. They say Hi and then leave. My stream is fine when I check it...everything working perfectly. Wtf is going on this week?!! Someone please tell me it's not just me.
Not just you. I've clocked 20 hours this week and I've made $67 dollars. Not even kidding. I normally average around $30-$35/hr

Does anyone know how to force Streamate to use Flash? It uses the HTML5 player sometimes, and the image quality is worse (blurrier).

A regular got DC during an excl. When he came back he told he's been having the issue since the new site.

That's actually false info. Having your "free chat" disabled doesn't effect others from seeing you or not on the site. All it does is keep the freeloading beggars who signed up on a white label without a credit card from popping in and begging for free shit. Enable or disable it, it won't matter...people will still be able to see you if they aren't logged in.
No offense at all, but you gals all say something different LOL

Sm is super super slow today. And the guys that are there are illeterate ones or full of shit free loaders.
Same here. I've been on since very early & the site was dead overall. The minute it hit around 6:30 am tons of guys coming into my room, but all for a few secs or just under a min.. I guess they are expecting me to wine & dine them FOR FREE!!!!!!
I've made not even $8 for 4 1/2 hours.
I know you guys keep saying it's b/c the site has video issues, but for me I don't think that's it. At least no one tells me that's it. They don't say anything. And the odd one who does talk doesn't say there's an issue. Half the time it's the guys who have the ISP issues.
It almost feels like SM advertised some place in the last 2-3 months & the quality of traffic is SHIT.
They have to advertise where guys WANT us. If they don't, & they advertise on some idiot site where no one has ANY intention of paying for our time, we WILL see tons of guys, but none of them will convert.
I have a feeling that is what is going on.
I've had around 20-30 guys come into my room & just leave. About 10% of them have been in my room in the last 2 months & never booked, & 50% of that 10% come into my room 2-3 times in the same day & STILL don't do anything. They are looking for freebies. I know you girls know this already, but I'm just using data to show that I don't think this is a video issue & if it is, it's a combination of those 2 things.
This tells me something is horribly wrong b/c even on my worst days on SM when I hadn't been on in a while I made more than $8 in 4.5 hours.

Those of you who splitcam and use the break button better avoid it today. I was in pvt somewhere else and used the break button on sm. 5 mins later I went to check my stream and I was showing naked, so not just that the break button is fucked(at least for me) but it was a 5 min delay as well.
What site has the "break button?"

Rant here. I can't understand why they have social media people to retweet for Streamate (3 I recall?) but act annoyed when models need support? This company completely disrespects its models and it's so obvious. Maybe Liz is the only person there who actually emails models back, but damn. It's time for #Streamatereform
And they constantly lie & tell me they've banned the names I give them & then I find out when he comes back into my room he was NOT banned. Got 2 like that today. Another one the other day.
All of these sites are run by PIMPS.
Twice now I've wanted to start a cam site run by ME. Trust me, there would be a HUGE difference.
Unfortunately getting a programmer who knows what they are doing & who will develop the site is another story altogether LOL
It ain't cheap.

SM has it if you are exclusive there using the SMB. I don t have it cause am mostly using the Encoder.

The correction of Solo Desire about not allowing members without credit cards is the good one. Tested it again and saw the mistake.

You can still get the break button when using the encoder. Just email support and ask for it. It goes right next to the "start my show" "stop my show" button on the interface once they enable it for you, so it doesn't matter how you stream or what encoder you use.

What new site? The new user interface on SM.
Why doesn't the damned site tell the guys which browsers aren't working with cams?

Because they expect us to do their job for them.
The new user interface on SM.
"Funny" how one day i see the old interface when checking on model's rooms or my own room on the PC and the next day it's the new one, i am using the same browser to look things up, looks like they switch between the two, old and new interface.
On mobile is the same, old and new interface, it changes constantly.

don't understand why SM keeps booting me off the system.... I know, I know, it is usually us not them, but seriously all of my tech is above what they ask for, my internet is triple what they require, i7 -6th Gen, super modem, C92, perfect lighting, hardwired and wi-fi disabled, latest SMB....... can't think of anything else.
It kicks me off the SM site but I am still connected to other things on the internet - with or without split cam, doesn't matter... just oops sorry system error. In the middle of a long exclusive, FC, doe snot matter.

I think they're probably running split tests, sending different people to different interface, comparing how much they make with each one, or how many glitches there are.

Thanks for telling me where it appears on the interface. My Rep suggested it to me, but only when am going to be exclu. Haven't asked support about it, but you gave me a good idea. Much appreciated.

I only see the new interface whenever checking on any browser, mobile and so on. But about my shows, guys barely succeed to open their cams and it takes multiple times to try again. When I finally see the guy, it soon freezes too. Other than disconnects, sound errors, cam2cam freezes, phone glitches, image feed glitches happened today... I don;t see any error :)

I've noticed that, too. With IE, you can see the old interface. With Chrome, it's the new one.

Which browser works best for cam 2 cam? Or which ones don't work?

My guys see less glitches on Edge. Now, I don t know for sure. I experience also less glitches on Edge as a guest.

Firefox has had the best results for me. Every time a guy can't get his cam to load and I've told him to switch to Firefox, it has loaded fine after that.

Yes,that usually works. Also, having them load their cams a second time will sometimes help.

So I am trying out the SMB for the first time really!..lol... and I feel like it's almost using up all my CPU.. does anyone have any good calibrations I can use? Not really much used to it.. been using FMLE.. the only reason I am trying it is because I haven't had any privates hardly all week!.. like 17 mins worth for 6 days of being online!.. so I was wondering if I am being ICED out for not using the SMB.. lmao
Going to test the FMLE with a 99 cent rate to find out if they are just being cheap lil lookie loos ... or if there is a serious problem.

LOL, so you gave me YOUR glitches. Thanks hun
One guy couldn't even hear me in pvt. He got booted too. <sigh>
Did you tell SM about the issues?
Ginnyyy
03-26-2017, 03:29 AM
Yea, when it happened the first time for me and the error took multiple weeks in Autumn, I think. At that time, had nothing to do than to not log in on SM. I think there were all the glitches gathered for me. Sending speed tests pictures, streaming from several browsers, using either Encoder or SMB, being live with my Rep in the room, sending pics of my pc config and sending short videos of the encoder s and smb s errors didn t help, bcs they gave all the possible advices and finally stopped answering.
Pfiuu...now the single glitches are when guys don t hear or see me+ phone not working always, same for c2c +a few got disconected, all being repoerted so far.
Thanks, SoloDesire for suggesting the break button can be used by non exclusive girls too. I now have it activated (with the condition not to use abuse of it :)) I promise I will only make slow tender love with it lol.

Your not alone. I gave it a whirl myself yesterday and it was a ghost town. When I switched back to mfc, there was not only traffic but money was made.
Sad. I don't really think I'm going to give any effort at sm if that is a continuous occurrence.

thank God for my skype reg tonight. pulled in 300 with a 30 minute session with him.
should have never even logged back on afterwards -- could have had a movie night instead of the torture that is SM.

I have been playing Musical Dollars.. I have gone from 3.99 to 9.99...I haven't actually gotten any shows at the lower rates.. yesterday I had 2 long privates at $8.99 per min and then that's it for the day.. today I had a show with regular for $7.99 and that's it so far today.. and I have been from $3.99-$7.99 today.. I just change the rate up or down everytime I log out.. haha.. see charging less doesn't mean shows will ever come.

cant make any money if my frame rate keeps dropping every time i go into a pvt . Its fine in free chat then as soon as anyone tries to do a show with me it drops and stays there for about 2 min then goes back up to 30.

03-30-2017, 06:09 PM
So far coming back to camming after a 4 month hiatus has me feeling depressed. 2 regulars on Streamate who used to drop money on me said I needed to lower my PVT rate. My rate has been the same for quite awhile now. They've paid it before! Men are lowballing my custom clip amounts and a dude also who used to pay $40 for a show on CMD said I was too expensive now.

03-30-2017, 06:37 PM
:) Haven t had problems with frame rates or nothing related to the Encoder or SMB just c2c errors, phone and so on but I did have a full month of errors in my room last autumn which would not let me broadcast properly so I guess I ve had way enough of that before the #smglitch. Happeening to me the second time would literally be a curse :))
