You guys were right! I turned off everything else on my computer, made sure it was quiet, and barely even breathed. It worked!

Is anyone successfully using a Logitech pro 9000 with the new SM broadcaster?. I prefer the 9000 over the C920..

Ok, now I have a new problem. Since the SMBroadcaster won't allow you to splitcam, I took out a spare c920 that I had for emergencies, and now I have two c920s plugged into my computer. I want one of them to go into the SMBroadcaster, and one to go into VerySoft for everything else. The problem is, that I can only figure out how to adjust the brightness and white balance, etc. on one of the cams.
I feel pretty certain that using two cams has been suggested by people here, so how are you guys doing it? Obviously I'm missing something, because when I try to google this, I just get a ton of info that I don't understand at all. Could someone explain how to adjust both cams, as though you're talking to an idiot?

In the Logitech software you can choose which camera you want to adjust. They should be numbered accordingly.

Yup I am in the same boat. Windows will not differentiate between two of the same Logitech Webcams. I think Windows 7 does but not the newer versions. It wont determine C920-1 and C920-2. And it fucking sucks. So usually I will use the un filtered cam on a site that's in the background. Basically I don't care what I look like. Or I use a different model logitech...or my Microsoft HD Lifecam (a resource hog)
Ive tried going into my registry to change the friendly name for my C920 Device and it just wont work. But that's on my computer. It says I dont have permissions to change things that deep into my registry. Your PC may be different. So if you have someone tech savy around tell them that you need to assign a new 'friendly name' for your Logitech C920 in the enum registry. That's all it needs is a name that's not the same before it's picked up and recognized. It drives me fucking crazy that I can't do it.
Here is a walk through for an older version of windows. It may help you

I emailed SMSupport asking about the holiday bonus payout (since I won't be getting paid this week - too new) and they say it will be subject to the 3 week hold.
Edit; oh webcamcuties below me has received hers. Sorry - disregard my info!

When I check my payment history it says Payoneer - Dec 31, and my weekly earnings which has my bonus included, hope this helps.

Thanks ladies. I spoke with my studio earlier this week and read here it would be on this check. I'm hoping I'm just giving myself self induced panic attacks and my boss just missed it and it will be sent out and be in my account tomorrow. I love streamate and never want to leave but not getting my bonus would be unforgivable and such bad business. Cmon it was a Christmas bonus! Lol my boss always pays on time and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Sorry for the rambling but it's 5 am, everyone is asleep and my rent is due in the morning. Lol

^^ What did you select instead of the c920 to make it work? I can't get it to calibrate, and I've tried everything I can think to do, short of upgrading to Windows 10.
For me it kept selecting c920 for the video and the built in speakers of the laptop instead of c920 for audio, we'll I kept switching it for both options to say c920, after the 10th failed calibration attempt I just let the sm broadcast select whatever it wanted and it calibrated just fine. During startup it tells you that you can go and change the options later.

So what I learned is to not select anything during calibration. Let the SM broadcaster do it's thing and when it's done you can alter the settings from built in cam or external cam. It seems as if the sm broadcaster doesn't like being messed with before calibration cause it makes it crash. I emailed support and got an AMAZING copy and paste response. Also on my most recent laptop when it kept crashing I right clicked on the broadcaster while it was closed and selected the option that allows you to make it compatible with operating system, it also gives you a drop down menu of other options. During my forced time off all I could is play with shit, totally surprised I didn't blow the laptop up. Smh. Lol

We've been talking about the black box issue for months now. Months. Streamate is gonna have to find away to operate the site without the help of flash. Which is dying fast. Some days are better than others. On bad days tell your mobile customers about flash based browsers: Puffin,Photon and Dolphin. Typically I use chrome to stream and splitcam other sites in firefox. But Firefox is blocking flash and making it difficult to run my other sites. I think this may affect streaming on SM sometimes? It's a flash problem.
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/29/2015-adobe-flash-die-google-firefox-amazon
I could kiss You so hard right now for this info!:-*
I could never see the streams on my android tablet(which doesn't have flash).
I installed Chrome and it works perfectly.
I'm sending a group message to all of my custies to use it, because I think a lot of them are just as computer illiterate as me.lol!

Does upload speed affect placement in your opinion or the amount of traffic you get. Is 5 upload useless and what is your upload speed if you dont mind sharing?

GRRRR... Why doesn't SM want me to make them $$$?!?!...this has been my buggiest day ever. encoder crashed my shit during the only 2 pvts i've had and been troubleshooting since then, w/ only audio working on my stream half the time or room won't even load. UGH!
Genoveve
01-02-2016, 09:21 PM
^^If the encoder is crashing your system I don't think your system can handle running it. The room not loading doesn't sound like an SM issue either.
missmercedes
01-02-2016, 09:48 PM
Hmm.. :( Well Ive used it frequently without too much issue, and also cammed a decent amount without using it. With the stream thing, I could see myself fine in the encoder. Guys could hear me, but my stream would just endlessly load and never show up or say I was in PVT when I wasn't whenever I checked it I was actually having the most success streaming from my bfs Chromebook, but the screen just broke so I'll have to figure out what works best for my Mac till i can get an actually decent computer.

I just finally got mine to calibrate yesterday and am loving the broadcaster! My placement went up to row 3 for the first time ever. Hate to say it but I had to buy a new modem to get it to calibrate, it kept crashing before because my modem was not upstreaming enough for the broadcaster. I bought an Sb6141 modem and now all my ratings are at excellent and the broadcaster works perfectly!

There's this "model" that is totally fake and taking money from the site. I decided to see where my placement was while camming and I noticed someone had like 2 or 3 stars as their average rating. I went to her page and it's just playing music and the "model" keeps making the same movements/faces over and over as if someone is hitting "replay" on the stream. How does someone even do that? And then the comments even say stuff like "fake" "avoid" "total scam". Should I report the page or just let it be? Because people are still taking her private for the ones that don't know what's going on.

It's so annoying when a guy sends a request to view his cam when I'm in premium with other guys. Sometimes, my hands are busy during the show and I can't click on "cancel"...and after 15 seconds, it's accepted automatically.
I think it should be cancelled automatically instead if we don't accept a guy's request to view their cam?

I've been camming with Streamate off and on for like two years and this is the first time I've had glitches... I know, I'm lucky! But my speed is great, my shit is on point, it just keeps disconnecting me!! ARRRGH FUCK YOU STREAMATE
and I really needed this after the fucking holidays too
I hate holidays. But I hate glitches more.

I'm about to throw my damn laptop out the window. The SM broadcaster will not keep me connected and the few minutes that it will stay connected it just broadcasts this pixelated awful image. I tried the Adobe encoder and it's causing this awful ringing noise to be broadcast into my room and I can't figure out why. I'm supposed to be working for 4 more hours.

I've tried everything with the volume. The noise seems to stay pretty constant it's not lime mic feedback. I'm not sure what it is.

Had one gold show that was starting to mess up during and it stated that the timer didnt stop the show but id be paid for it. I checked and i was paid for whole show, seemed weird because i couldnt see the timer but it ended it for me. Also after that i lost my break button, but besides that traffic was amazing and it was paying traffic felt like the old days of sm, i loved it. Had an amazing time, heres to 2016 its off to a great start.

The only reason I still work on SM is the high traffic and that there is always money to be made (even though it sometimes requires the patience of a fucking saint).
The SM support really really bugs me. Honestly, "Are you connect to the internet" is not a relevant answer to "My sound doesn't seem to be working, are there any current bugs".
The percentage they take is just.... ....... I don't even know where to begin.
And then there is the guys on the website, freeloaders, beggars and rude twats who think they temporarily own me because they tipped 1 fucking gold.

Happened to me 2 nights ago. I guess I closed out the HD encoder too quick after cam and it had my browser + SM show page acting a fool for 30 minutes , could not select anything from the drop down menu it would just freeze. But I too used Firefox for over a year when all the sudden turned black and stopped working all together. Like a cat and mouse game trying to figure crap out all the time.
