Dude, not sure WTF is up with CPS but this reg of mine who usually spends good money can't connect to my phone and it's costing me cash. UGH...I already wanted to rage quit. This is just making me REALLY angry.
I'm not even sure how I'm smiling right now. I could do just one show with him and get the fuck off.
LAWD, have MF mercy!!!!

I'm lost. Is anyone using SMBroadcast or OBS without experiencing a shift in their placement. I just logged into SMBroadcast and my placement went right to the pits of hell; same for OBS. But I have a cam game that I want to push onto my screen and that can't be done when using SMConnect. I'll keep searching the forums for an answer but most info is incredibly outdated. Anyone on page one with OBS? HOW?
Are you able to stream through smc using OBS as external broadcaster? I usually use OBS but stopped a few weeks ago because I was having audio issues with smc and obs. I'm going to hop on in a bit and try OBS+smc again and I'll update with any placement changes if I can get the damn thing to work

Please do drop that update. I tried SMC and the broadcaster and my placement went back to page 11.
I've tried SMC+SMBroadcaster
SM Classic + SMBroadcaster
SMC+OBS
SM Classic+OBS
SMC+ SLOBS (StreamLabs OBS)
SMC+Adobe Flash whatever-the-fuck (had something to do with an FMLE file)
I've changed my OBS settings eleventy-seven times at this point. I'm sick of youtube videos after today. I am honestly hoping that someone has tried one of these combos - or something else - and gotten it to work for them because I am clearly doing something wrong here. Like, I know SOMEBODY uses something other than SMConnect and is placed just fine. My placement is immediate garbage if I use anything other than SMC. Why? Do they really have it rigged like this?? I even emailed Liz (immediately apologizing for even bothering her with something like this) but I doubt she'll be able to help with this one.
My hang up is that I see a girl on page one every single day who is clearly using OBS. It's glaring how obvious it is (text scrolling at the bottom of her page, overlays, etc.) So I know it's possible. I wish I could create an account and tip her for her OBS settings/computer specs/etc. lol, I would at this point. But my "dude" account is on hold or something. You don't understand how badly I just want to cashapp somebody for the answer!

Ok so not much info unfortunately. "good" news its not just you. the second you stop using the web caster in smc the site boots you from priority placement. I'm not sure if OBS is glitchy or something but my traffic/placement went absolutely dead when I used it. Ive seen people in the top row who are clearly using an external broadcaster as well so ive no idea what they are doing to get there. Super frustrating, we should be able to use OBS with no consequences.

Are you sure that its obs thats causing your placement issues? Reason I'm asking is because I'm using smbroadcast and I just checked my placement, I'm almost at the very bottom of the page in my category (BBW) . I'm using in the top row....like wtf!

Anyone else having placement issues lately? I'm using smbroadcast but I've tried sm connect and I really don't notice any difference placement wise between the 2.
I'm usually in the top row of my category and on the bottom of the 1st page or 2nd page, but right no I am at the bottom of my category and on the 11th page????
WHY? WTF?

My placement stays the same with SMB and SMC. Are you only able to stream at the highest settings with Connect? Because if you're using SMB but not streaming in 1280x720 or higher your placement will tank. Also are you sure you weren't just hit with the placement glitch that randomly shows us on the last pages of the site? That glitch is still happening to me occasionally.

I see my placement drops when i make less per hour, i almost never have a glitch, i can only tell my placement sucks cause the other girls are making mroe than me per hour so they are higher in the rank, also, from here i can only see hispanic girls on top, if you watch the site from another location it will look different, say uk guys see uk girls 1st and so on...

Anything that isn't SMConnect seems to be the issue so I don't blame OBS exclusively. Depending on when I log on (and who else is logged on) I hover between rows 2-4 on page 1 but that is only with SMConnect. With everything else I drop down so far that you can see a few guys on the page, too.
I wasn't that far down when I had a shitty computer, no webcam, used SM Classic, and logged on once a week. So I don't know what to blame this on. It truly feels rigged.

I want to say yes, I THINK I'm sure because when I first used OBS this week I didn't even think to check my placement. Girls were already complaining about it being slow so I muscled it for two hours before checking the site and realizing that I couldn't see myself. I closed out of OBS and logged into SMConnect and my placement went back to where it normally is INSTANTLY.
So, I logged out...tried OBS again....and I went back to page 11 again.
I did this song and dance with SMB, SMClassic, and all the other things I listed earlier. I can't settle for it just being a placement glitch when my placement improves so quickly as long as I'm on SMC.
I bought a computer with an i7 processor and pay for Fiber Optic internet to ensure that I can stream at 1920X1080 res. and all that good juicy stuff. So when I configure my SMB settings and click "optimize" it goes green and acts like everything is okay. I've lowered my settings to see if that happens; nope. I don't know what the problem is.

I use OBS Im knocked back to page 11-15, its not a placement glitch, the placement glitch is for smb/ smc only
the system is picking up you use obs
I know there are models that have continued trouble shooting for years with obs and support and maybe that is going on, its usually computer/model specific
Maybe there are models "testing" OBS, placement is not sacrificed for test dummies
IMO I do not think our specs matter that much
2013 macbook air i3 that only puts out a 640 spec using smc
iphone7plus data only, no placement issue but i was pixelated
^^ at home on internet streamed smooth on the phone, no issue with placements
I was in a bind w that 2013 and I was wireless lol
shit pissed me off bc i just spent good amount of money not needed on a computer last year.
the moment i use obs, its pg 11 :)

Edited To Add: I like this SMB better. I clearly can't use overlays but I really need to get over that lmao. I just wish that SM created an OBS-like encoder since they are clearing showing favorites in regards to having models use their platforms. Thank you again. I appreciate your help.

The last 3 weekends have been slow for me. I'm thinking about working more hours in the beginning of the week and less during the weekend. Kinda balance it out, so I don't lose money. Monday was great this week. Even though Thursday was painfully slow, Friday was my lowest earning day.

I've tried every usb port. Everything was working just fine so I don't know what's going on. OBS could pick up camera so it's not the port.

Just like you have to "allow" flash or "allow" microphone on certain sites you may have to make sure your browser settings are still allowing your camera. I had to do this manually once when i cleared my cache/cookies and SM simply refused to recognize that my cam was plugged in. Have you cleared your browser history recently? Could be the problem.
If not, hell, maybe clearing it now will help because it usually prompts the "allow camera?" notification once you've cleared everything.
If none of that works then I would restore your computer to an earlier date. If your computer has a restore date for the last 24 hours then that could help, too.
I think that concludes all of my bright ideas.

Both Fridays and Saturdays are always abysmal for me.
Unless I log on super early.
I do it, because I want to make money.
But camming when I'm barely awake is super hard to do.

50 mins of ins and outs and not a single guy replying to my greeting. I had like 70 guys enter. This has become unbearable. Yeah, I don't think they all decide within a second that they do not like me and leave, this is fucking impossible. Unless they are looking for an entertaining room, which mine isn't, since I had no one to talk to and I don't enjoy talking to myself lol. But even then, they can't figure everything in a second to leave that fast, is it?
