I have the Ryzen 1800x and its kicking ass with SMB Flawless running at 15% CPU almost zero issues 31FPS which is why I cant give up on SM I really think a lot of the issues people are having come down to shitty equipment, internet connection or both.

Yeah 8core 16 thread is going to rip the arse out of any you need a i7 support response. They are great for 4k editing as well.
If it's running 15% on r7 1800x then might stick with obs as you can set it to use graphics card for the stream. You would prob find with a rx580 you can do 1080p 7mbps for 2% cpu

nah I hate obs. If i need to I will buy the threadripper but right now it aint broke! Told I cant stream out in 4K cause its gonna eat up all my internet. I have a 4G line but only 100Gb a month For uploading I use my other computer I can upload a 20min video in 4mins but so far I have nothing in 4k

After some time Ive realized that the SMB isnt really meant for cammers who understand streaming. But instead for those who don't understand it. Once you figure out what it takes to stream smoothly...it honestly doesn't matter as much what encoder you use. As long as you have a consistent upload speed that can maintain a steady stream. If you're using the smb with success then its because it was able to read your settings AND upload speed.
Anyone who would like to use an alternative encoder to cut down on cpu usage should jot down the specs shown in the smb and then apply them towards obs. Play around with those suggested settings and then you can learn from there.

I tend to use obs with 4.5mbps for 1920x720 but I use the 2 rx580 8gb in cross fire and don't use the x264 I use the and avc264 as all the stream is on the graphics cards stream processes rather than the cpu. It allows me to run the recordings over the network to a server with the x264 and 1080p 10mbps. I like obs as I can slap copy right music in the stream for the customer but the recording doesn't have the music. For sites that allow own encoders it's easy to work multi sites this way with verysoft on highest settings 60fps. You prob find on 1800x it's more than enough to render out videos and edit them in slow spots as well. Threadripper is ok just nothing uses 16cores 32 threads yet. It's only for the editing with all the different outputs and watermarks I bothered with it.
Really excited to get back to camming and have a break from Porn as it's something that has been nagging at me for the last 3 month's.

I told him that I only did SM cause I dont normally take client from SM to my Skype shows but I felt really torn about this one because he was clearly not happy with SM. We still did the show on SM and he didnt mention it any more but he had said enough to make me worry.
Skype with him! You NEED to earn money, but can't on a glitchy-ass site. I would definitely Skype with him.
Be careful when falling for the "Skype with me, my cam won't work on SM or I'm having glitches" guys, regular or not. I have caught many guys faking stories about having glitches, just to try to lure me off site. Most being so called regulars. I just tell them I'm not going anywhere, and to upgrade their internet. Not saying that all glitch complaints are not authentic, but many of those guys will try to pull any tricks they can.

Considering he found her on twitter I would think about it but generally NO SM customers can do skype with me. When they do end up doing skype with me I find then trolling my room in and out for shows on skype and they were once good customers on sm.
I cant ban them bc then Im fucked.

This is really a great point! I am always very skeptical of guys who try to Skype with me because if there is some reason SM wont veto their CC I dont want them thinking they can scam me. I make it really difficult for guys to do a Skype by making them jump through hoops to make a payment. Then the next time I change it up. Also I wont do more then a 15 min show for the first show to limit how much I could lose and I am also very very expensive. I charge 100 euros per 15mins.
As I said this guy has been a regular client of mine for 4 years and I dont feel right about taking him to Skype because he is also been a regular client to SM. Now I know the popular opinion is to think that this is YOUR client so you should have the right to steal him but as a site owner myself and a business woman I really do not feel that this is dishonest business practice. I do not see any future in scalping traffic from SM to take to Skype and I know how hard I work at driving my own traffic to my sites and I appreciate that SM has so much traffic and I appreciate that they cover charge backs.
As I also mentioned I told this client I did not offer Skype and he returned to SM, shitty cam and all, and we did the show there. I also saw him again a couple days later on SM and we did another show. My point is not to come here and say I am going to scalp clients now because SM is glitchy it was just to vent and complain about the glitches.
I agree with you that a good percentage of the time these guys are working with shitty equipment, internet or both it just happens in this case I know the client has great equipment and internet cause I have already inquired what he was using so unless he lied to me the problem is probably on SM end. Also he is able to C2C the issue is that when he does it makes both streams lag and glitch. I also experience this. Perhaps I need to try OBS.

Yep! & that trolling for off-site attention starts affecting your streaming Money, not worth it at all.

Yeah, I just wanted to bring that to light, to any girl reading the forum, since guys faking glitches to try to get discounts, offsite contact, etc. is a growing problem these days. It’s best to always be skeptical of anything those guys say.
I’m not very fluent with SMB. I use OBS and rarely have c2c issues. So it might be worth you checking out OBS temporarily to see if it fixes the issue.
OBS version 22 has many new features, and streams pretty much flawlessly. Especially with nvidia or amd graphics. It’s worth trying.

Sigh.This may as well be a contest week. I feel like this 'bonus' was, just like the contests, a big fuck you to the girls who arent first page, top girls....with slow traffic, glitches galore, etc theres no fuckin way im hitting the $400 threshold to get that shitty $40. I dunno....its just really discouraging. Why not just give us a fuckin bonus without stipulations? Its summer, its slow as fuck, the site barely functions.....it just seems like a slap in the face every time they pretend like they give a shit about their models.

I restarted my session but still the same issue, they are coming in but never leave, even if kicked out. It is not a biggy but I fear that once there is an issue there may be more that come with it, as the traffic is horrible although I am on the first page in my geographic zone.

Yes. Also a delay in them entering my room and their name popping up, so coupled with the audio delay it just seems like im ignoring them when i greet everyone. Also guys' names still showing up in the sidebar when they have left my room....and yet im supposed to try and pull $400 from this shit site this week, when its acting like that? lol.

Hi! I read that you have a limit of 100 Gb a month. How many hours of live chatting is that, on average? I was always scared about internet limits so I never dared to try one with a limit, even if the speeds on those offers were better than what I had at the time, but I am really curious!

Yeah that delay with the name and the sidebar was so annoying last night. Also I felt everything was more delayed in chat (both free and paid) even though my RTT time was normal.
I am hitting my goals this week but it feels so so so slow. I feel like I am just sitting there waiting for my regs. So many new guys, so many messages with their phone number, so much entitlement.

I dont know exactly about 50 hours in a month maybe. I actually have 3 of those lines now because I use one for my main computer and the work I do there, one for cam and one for back up cause I usually drain one or both of the others before the month ends. I also have a slower but limitless line coming into my home so I pay for 4 internet lines every month but I dont use the fast ones for just watching tv, books and my phone so the unlimited one serves that purpose. I had to get them because I only have the 4G or radio internet available where I live. There are no internet lines installed out this far in Spain.

I'm missing my paycheck this week too, really needed the money. I'm so pissed off.
I put in a trace through USPS and they haven't found it.
What happens if someone gets my check and commits fraud with it? Am I just out the money?
I've switched to Fedex temporarily, hoping they get another method in place soon. I really resent having to pay to get the money I worked for.

no, you're not out of money. Let Liz know ASAP. They will say wait 30 days.
Streamate had to wait 30 days to make sure I or another person did not cash it. This was years ago but its still the same protocol.
My check showed up 2 weeks later. it went through hell. showed up wrinkled with black skid marks so I think it got caught in a mail office belt to sort mail. idk tbh but I was living on scraps for a week and calling utility companies
I am happy Sm responded bc I never get a response but I was nice on twitter about it stating I had to run to a bank to transfer funds. Im hoping for more responses if I tweet them again. I hate support.
currently, Im saving for a house so any dent in that savings pulls me back and the check does arrive bc its late will not make me catch that up when it comes. I have to pay the credit cards Im using for gas and food, my mom blah blah so it adds up. I tend to freeball on credit cards. Just be balling lol
l just paid down most my cards. One check late can fuck up a world. Im getting a house by the skin of my teeth lol
I swear shit happens bc everything is smooth and the world is telling me not to get accustomed to it.
Not sure but I was trying to trace mine today and I could not but in red bold banner it stated USPS is wonky die to Hawaii Hurricane.
we are on the east coast so I wouldn't think it effects us.

The sites been so glitchy, traffic has sucked....and here it is, Friday night, and I'm $98 from even hitting minimum of what I need to even get a 'bonus' (if it were really a bonus, SM, then we wouldnt have to make an impossible amount to fuckin get it, you dickfaces)...and I feel like shit. I want to lay down so bad, but I know I cant make that much on Saturday before the cutoff.....man, SM really knows how to just ruin their models. Also really drives home that I busted my ass to actually make $900 and will only see $300 of it. As much money as they take from us, that stupid fuckin bonus should have come with NO stipulations, and we should get them as often as those dumbass contests. I hate SM. I hate that I depend on it. I hate that I'm about to cry over an fuckin fakeass bonus....I busted my ass this week to make the little bit I did make, just because I wanted to actually try and get something, since i'll never place in a contest, and its just....really devastating that I cant even do that.

I understand u perfectly, Ive worked tuesday, wed and thursday few hours to only make 230¡ I didnt worked yesterday friday because was feeling down, is so stupid to go on cam and have to deal with blurry video, no traffic, what I spected was to get this 10% for any amount of money we could make this week but yeah, today hell no. Im gonna relax and try my another site. Thx god i worked the first days of this month for rent and bills so these last ones for me are not to heavy (always I try to make as much money possible beginning of month because ends of each one there is always a contest). Good luck for u today dahlia and i hope u can reach the rest for ur goal.
