They've added mic options on SMConnect now! I logged in today to the update. Now you can mute your mic and adjust your audio and there's also Audio Input Levels added to the Stream Health widget so you can see how loud your mic is.

I complained about the placement issue yesterday and got this as a response:

Thanks yes, we have identified a bug that could be causing this. Also the delay for the sort can be up to 20 min so I’m not sure how long you were on line in poorly placed areas, but please wait up to 20-30 min.



The delay should also be resolved today or tomorrow as well!

I live alone now so it’s not a huge issue other than annoying to have to move the cords at the start/end of each shift

You might be able to use an ethernet splitter. I have seen them on Amazon before.

What are you using to Stream? I was using OBS+chrome+external encoder and it didn't fix the problem. I switched to SMB+Chrome+external encoder and that solved my problem... for now, LOL.

SM always keeps it interesting, always keeping us on our toes ;D

I prefer SMB, but I switched to SMC on Chrome and my placement moved back to page 1, but I still has no traffic. I’m guessing there is just no traffic and hopefully they do something about it.

Anyone else not showing up in the offline section when they aren't on cam? They haven't added any new categories that I'd fit and my account is still 100% functional so I'm completely stumped.

Update: nvm. idk who the heck I pissed off, but my placement has TANKED. I'm using SMC on chrome, my rating is well over 4.9, I have a high upload/download speed, and my tech is top notch. I'm stumped!

You might very well have traffic but are unable to see it due to glitchiness. I ran into that problem tonight. A weirdly small amount of logged in users appearing in my chat list, but users whose names never showed up in chat were typing messages to me in free chat. Unable to kick or block those without manners because they weren’t in the chat list. The number of lurkers was on the lower end of average for me, so I’m guessing my placement was ok and that guys could find me. Fun times.

Had issues with both of the desktop options. SMB places me on page 12. SMC places me on page 8. It takes 15-30 minutes for both of them to put me back on page 1. So basically, I'm wasting time right after I log in. AMAZING! Besides that, some people are complaining of not being able to suddenly hear me with SMC. And my RTT is jumping all over the place.
I can't wait for everything to be done. 2020 come faster, so I can stop being a lab rat!

I am not hearing people during c2c on SMB since a while ago. I know I ve heard the ones with mic on but lately, I m not able to. I m guessing I got a streak of guys who don t know to set up their mics but if this is not the case, did anyone else experience this on SMB + Chrome?


Duh, none of the guys sees my phone icon on and they couldn t find it in Exclu as well, though it s definitely on on my side. Correction, some see the phone icon but it s still not working :)) Even with glitches, SM is great but I m sure I m loosing more than it should be.

LATER EDIT: Live Support tested those options with me and it s half fixed now.

I was on page 5 when I logged on today. Thank goodness for SW. I didn't even trip as I heard it might take some time before placement fixes itself. It took me restarting my show after 40 min streaming before I showed up on page 1. During that 40 min I had hardly any traffic; probably just 3 or 4 potentials and a handful of members popping in and out. Then as soon as it fixed itself I got 2 exclusives and traffic was decent.

Thanks Marina for chiming in. It's helpful.

I think it is SM; my RTT is always at 13-18 but every now and then there will be a day where it keeps repeatedly shooting up really high and then cycling back down to its normal range. Nothing on my end is ever any different when this happens and it always magically resolves itself on its own. It never seems to negatively impact my money/guys' ability to go pvt and stay in pvt so I don't sweat it.

This may sound like a stupid question, but is it better to have a low or high RTT? Mine fluctuates between 4-12, not sure if it’s good or bad. It shows I’m in the green, but I’m starting to think now that it’s not very accurate, b/c even when it starts glitching it still says I’m in the green.

A low RTT is always the way to go. Basically, it represents the time between you sending the info into SM's servers and that info being put on screen. Or less fancy known as delay.

I sure do love abusive customers who rate you a 3 star after you go along with their abuse. I thought it just was what got him off, but he was just looking to hurt someone apparently. I got a whole $3.17 for this! ::) Time for a break.

I think you are right though, that is what gets him off. Why else would you pay someone to undress while insulting them? He’s just a perv with sadistic tendencies. It sucks that you had to deal with that, particularly without advance discussion of it and your consent, but I think that’s just his fetish and you shouldn’t take it personally. Ask support to block the bastard and remove the review, then go do something nice for yourself. Shake it off—he’s a sicko and the $3.17 was just to indulge his fetish for a minute or two; I didn’t see anything about him paying an additional fee for you to care about his opinion, so don’t give out freebies ;)

I emailed Liz about that, that is a whole other bug in their system right now also. She said some ratings are showing up as "unpaid", and I emailed her back and said what do you mean "unpaid" these are paid shows. She said its a bug that's on the list to be fixed LOL, so just be patient and eventually, you will get that 5th star back, i had to get 10 stars to get it back, its bullshit, but then again that is Streamate, always glitching with something!

I'm trying hard to be patient here. I realize Flash is going away in 2020 and they have to get something working before then, but the site is a royal mess now.

Streams are pixelated. I can get a clear stream if I use the old system, but it puts me in the backwaters of the site where I make zero. SMBroadcast lets me use the phone feature but it causes pixelation and audio issues no matter how it is set. The SMConnect is like a crap shoot. One time when I log in I'm high on the front page, next time it shoots me way back to the back pages.

I'm so disappointed that the software is working so badly, and I see it's not just me. I know my internet is good and my computer should be more than adequate. I hate this and I hope they fix it soon :(

OK edited to add - My audio was garbled as hell but I shut down SMBroadcast then restarted it, unselected my mic and then selected it again and it seems to be working now so maybe try that if you have audio issues. Hope it stays that way.

05-25-2019, 03:19 PM
There is a way to get around geoblock to check your placement that usually works. I don't want to post it here out in public to prevent stalkers from getting the info. PM me and Ill be happy to share with any cammodel.

So..
I'd emailed sm about why they took 1 star away, after I'd gotten 2 - 5star ratings.
Also about CPS (confidential phone service)
Everything so fancy, lol.
They said CPS not available on sm connect @ this time???
They sent me a link that shows what's available on sm connect.

They just now sent me another email saying I've the 5 stars.

Is anyone else having an issue with room topic not updating using SMConnect Web Encoder? I set the topic, but it just uses my profile intro.

Also someone tipped from tip menu which I updated yesterday and I have feet set to $20 and the guy tipped $12.99--the chat showed he did this through the tip menu. Anyone else have this happen?

Thanks for the audio tip! I have to agree it's a bit frustrating. Since yesterday I've been getting dropped and stream is pixelated. I used to be able to have two windows open at a time, now I can't as my stream health tanks so bad.

I've also had to restart router/modem a number of times as well as clear browsing history, etc. which still doesn't seem to keep my stream health as acceptable standards.

I'm trying hard to remain positive. I'm still making sales, but I can't help but wonder how much more I could be making if everything was running smoothly.

When I switch to Classic Flash I get thrown in the abyss of placement and even when I switch back to SMConnect Web Encoder, I don't show back up on page 1 until about 20 min have lapsed.

UUUGGGHHHH! HELP SOS 911 COME GET ME haha.

This should be because they're using a different currency. Instead of making them pay the equivalent of $20 in their currency, they make us take the hit, cause fuck models, amirite? Happens to me all the time

When I first started with SMConnect in April my RTT was in the 30's and low 40's - then a couple of weeks ago it spiked to in the 80/90's range and has stayed there

Spectrum just left my home and they found a splitter coming in to my laundry room that was unnecessary but the biggest problem they found was the connection barrels/fittings - older ones or certain companies use cheap ones - they changed those out to a higher quality and my numbers are back in the 30's and low 40's again :) Guess it wasnt SM after all :O

What do you tell Spectrum that you do? I just recently upped my internet from 75/75 to 100/100 but she even asked what I did for work and I had to think quick on my feet. But what if someone has to come in the home and check?

WOW! Mine was just 98 (up from 50), now it's down to 50 again.
I use wifi, I can't use that ethernet, (unless I want to go in the kitchen, which I don't)

I talked awhile back about getting an extender/repeater/wh/ev else it's called..you plug it in, & it helps boost the wifi.
I got one & returned it, I think I'm gonna look again at them.

Order a Ethernet cord. I purchased one on Amazon for $15 bucks and its 200 feet long. I have it plugged in to my modem/router on the TV stand in the living room, run it along the wall under the carpet in to the bedroom to hide it and connected it to my computer.

I think 40 is alright. I was around that and still looked green. Over 100 something it turned to orange (no bueno, orange is average). 200 I think is red and bad.

So as long as your RTT shows green in the Connect widget, I wouldn't worry if is 65 or 42.

Miss_ShaSha
05-28-2019, 10:44 AM
^^Thanks. I'm almost always in the green for RTT; however Bitrate tends to tank when I have two windows open lately. It will drop to red. When I exit the second window, It jumps back up to acceptable levels and I'm in green again. I hate that I can't have an additional window open as it's how I pass the time between shows.

Sometimes I'm waiting 15-20 between shows and like to read SW or one of my books on Google Play Books.

Any suggestions on how to keep the Bitrate from dropping into red?

I am truly starting to lose my patience with this shit. The placement glitch seems even worse than it was before, over a week after they finally acknowledged it on their completely useless Official Twitter. After I spent 20+ minutes waiting for my placement to adjust tonight it barely even made a difference because something is clearly up with how traffic is being filtered through the site. I'm forcing myself to do one more hour then logging off because fuck this, not trying to sound entitled but this is NOT what I'm giving them a whopping 65% pimp cut for.

I was debating posting in camming rocks or camming sucks over tonight. I did pretty great in the contest with minimal stress but something happened around 4 pst that just drained all the decent customers. All I got except my regs were [email protected]$;;blahblah and tempgofuckyourself82, was considering working longer but the traffic wasn’t worth it. My placement hasn’t been as wonky as I have been hearing from others but it was lower then normal. Maybe all the good guys got drained?
