I had the same problem with my old pc.. what are the specs of your pc? How much of your CPU are you using?


I dont get it!
The new Broadcaster, i updated & it's still doing the same thing as before, jumpy picture, not a smooth stream EVEN it shows i stream at 2000+ bitrate with 30 fps, WHAT GIVES?
It calibrated at Good, cant get better than that for some damn reason even i have the c920 logitech camera, i5 desktop pc, great light and connection.
Point is, i noticed with the SM BS i get more traffic in my room for some funny reason while with the FMLE i get less, again for same funny reason; so they must favorite the SM BS somehow?!
But why is not working properly then?
The only thing i cant change here is the round trip, that is the only thing i can think of, cant shorten the distance between me in europe and SM servers in Seattle.
Anyone in e.europe or other region far away USA use the SM BS successfully pls?
Can u help me figure this thing out?
I was really hoping the new update will help with a smooth stream but NO & i dont know what to do about it.
TY!

Repost from SM thread:

Maybe I'm just overthinking things, but does anyone else think it's weird that every time they throw a contest things are glitchy as hell the week or two before it? Like, it seems I'm always having trouble with glitches and getting disconnects every time there's a contest. I don't know what that could possibly mean, but I do know it's super frustrating because contests always kill my traffic and I feel like there's no use in even attempting to log on and fight the site.

Thank You for answering anon :-*
My specs, i took a print screen for easier read ;)

44226

Also the graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 210 with 1G memory.

I again watched myself on cam to see the cpu usage, it ranges from 23 to 30% when running SM only.

IS THIS NOT ENOUGH TO RUN THE SM BROADCASTER properly??!!

Input and Output are both at 30 fps, 2100+ bitrate and 1280x720 so WHY the stream is not smooth when i watch myself?
A good regular told me some time ago my stream is jumpy as i was not aware of it as here all looked okay on the broadcaster window; then i checked & seen too how jumpy it was/ still is even after the update yesterday.

You had lower specs than me or similar anon? I remember i read some time ago u upgraded to a gamer PC but my pc is good enough for this i believe if it's running the FMLE without problems with the HD720 settings. OR IS NOT and the broadcaster was made to run with no lower than i7's pc's??!!

For the first 10min select the 480p. And check stream. Games that cost millions to develop dont do hypertreads of the i7 so I doubt very much that smb has magical hypertreading code. how much space do you have on ur hdd? If you have loads using a 8gig page file will increase the pcs memory as 32bit is limited to 4gig. If after a few min the stream at 480p is fine increase to 720p. Because of the camera using the h2 file encoder ur pc has to decode and then recode again to stream. Also check the camera settings to ensure the c920 is running in 720p as if its running in 1080p that will place more load on the cpu for the decode and recode


Also turn windows defender off and make sure windows update is off while you stream as these are hidden but can place load on the cpu.

You have a really good cpu that can run the latest games

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?...00+%40+3.10GHz

However ur windows 32bit is choked on the 4 gig of ram. Windows 8 - 10 64bit allow upto 64gig of ram pebding spec of motherboard. So thats why I think a pagefile will give u a boost. As it gives u a ram overrun.

How to set a pagefile
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/w...=windows-vista

Also if u could re run the windows experiance index. It will give a score on the specs of the components which will help me come up with a solution. Hopefully without spending money

Also if distance is a worry from u to USA. U can cheat a bit and lower the mtu. From the tcp/ip settings. everyone here will be using a 1500 device default. However dropping to 1380 at the router will validate the data on your stream faster. It should improve your ping. As data works by sending a packet validating the packet then downloading the packet.

It's helpful if you don't make a new post for everything you share. That's called "double posting" and it clutters up the forum. Forum etiquette maybe you weren't aware of, but now you are :) Separate your topics in your post by clicking "go advanced" and using the editor to help separate things.

Thank you soo much for ur answer Selena & selena's hubby, i seen the messages before editing but had to log off for dinner, when back i see u edited to a single post.
I'll have to see what i can figure out from all u wrote me here as i am not that tech savvy, all i know about PC's is very basic, the things i learned on the go to be able to cam, my profession is a different one ;)

I can tell i did the change regarding the MTU as u guys suggested to set it to 1380 but this did not help, same issues so i changed back to 1500, i wrote about it in the Streamate main thread. My Vista is not genuine ;) so will see if i can work around windows experience index.
Will check on the links u provided & see what i can figure out, anyway, looks like i need a newer 64 bit OS, will see about all.
Again, thank you a lot for help/ input, i wish u great luck on site Selena xxx

When guys take me private or exclusive and hit their limit I get disconnected?!?!!? Also tried to start a gold show but then wanted to cancel it for a good custie to take me prvt. At first it wouldnt let me cancel but then out of no where the "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CANCEL" box `popped up and there was a 60 second count down timer in red that said the show will cancel in 60 seconds counting down that just repeatedly reset itself.

All kinds of crazy glitches are just waiting for you on SM. Still I am loving the new encoder.

Get the hubbie the motherboard make and serial number and he can give u advice.

Twitch gamers have no where near the pcs u girls think you need and they are streaming in full 1080p. 5.1. And running games in 1080p.

He thinks its prob a memory leak but start it 480p as this is still a decent picture as a guy last night was enjoying alot of details in me.

It depends if you are watching your stream while broadcasting... You don't need a top graphics card to run the latest games to have a proper stream through the SM program, you do however need a good motherboard/processor if you are aiming for top gear in additional features with clarity. The main factor that plays in your rank/video speed is dependent on your internet speed and webcam quality. I do not recommend turning off the Windows defense in case of issues that may occur that require repair/notification..it is total preference as of how you set your system. If you have a tower I would suggest getting an additional ram stick to add more space and possibly upgrade to an I7 or higher for business investment. (You should be able to stream, it may not be without lags/flickers/specs.) I don't think you can stream in 1080p with an I5, 720p would be the default if the hardware could not support it.

Thanks so much for this SelenaSecret!

SMB isn't available for Mac yet, but I love the idea of being able to bring down the roundtrip/ping through Mac, if possible. I live abroad (in Colombia) and I hover around the 295-465 mark for RT time when I look at my ranking page from the dashboard on SM. I went to visit family in the states and it was much better and I was actually in the "good" category. Right now I'm in the "poor" category for roundtrip time. My bitrate is always "good," so I'm not too worried about that.

Do you have any helpful advice on how to do this on Mac? Here are my specs on my Mac, which I think are pretty good. I upgraded from PC and don't ever plan on switching back. I just LOVE my Mac.

44227

I'm so not technically savvy in any regards...maybe you can let me know what to google. I found this:

https://support.zen.co.uk/kb/Knowledgebase/Changing-the-MTU-size-in-Mac-OS-X-10.6-to-10.9

Is that the same thing that you wrote about for Windows?

I can't wait for SM to come out with SMB for Mac. I'd love to get a bump in my traffic

He cant help with macs but as far as Windows is he can. I7 yeah great however I stream with a Amd athlon which is 2 core. 8gig of ram and 720p 30fps no problem. use zonelabs for firewall and avg and adaware antivirus. So windows defender is turned off. All 3 have free versions.

64bit windows has pretty much no limit on ram. 32bit is limited to 4gig totals. So 4gig plus 1gig graphics is 3 gig useable due to the limit of the 32bit.

If Streamate have rushed it out the most likely cause is a memory leak eating the ram. Hence why a pagefile might help. Take the load. Some of u really are running pc's that gamers would do anything for.

Seriously if ur on 32bit run at 480p. Its still HD. There again I run 720p and sit in an empty room all night lol.

Was anyone having issues with Roundtrip Time today?

me! but all the week, if use SMBroadcaster sometimes its more than 1000, with the encoder 400 to 600 the most of the time, few times 170 to 200 the only time when i see ppl come into my room, last weeks were good but this week no matter what i try. nothing works... it made me lose my placement because less ppl im my room... less money i do... i dont know what to do... could be my 2MB upload speed? but just this week?

Traffic is so shitty for me this week I can't cam for more than 3 hours,so angry it makes me.My room never been so quiet.I took off the week before but I don't think that's the reason I lost all of my traffic.Otherway,everything is working fine,no disconects,no errors,both sm broadcaster and adobe encoder work perfectly.So fuck you sm for doing this shit when I need money.

I get all u saying Selena but SM gives a placement bonus for models running the 720HD and as we all know placement is very important on site.
Still u say u get better traffic with lower settings and i noticed this myself, i got more traffic when i tried lower settings cause i wanted to splitcam & i first signed in on SM then saw the guys coming and decided to change back to 720p but then my traffic died, i was thinking is a coincidence but looks like not?!
I mean, any idea why this could happen, to get more traffic with lower than 720p settings? More people can see us and connect to our rooms?
Not everyone has the best pc's who can support the highest settings, right?
But then what to choose, the placement boost SM gives if using the 720p settings or the better traffic eventually?

Soo confusing really... and by the way, my week seems compromised already, i only cammed for two days, the 1st one was pretty dead and for the second one on wednesday i had problems with my internet, after one hr of being on cam and trying both the sm broadcaster and adobe encoder my connection went dead on me, it was 2AM and could not call them but wait, took more than 1 hr to have it back and i was tired and pissed already by then, i got back on cam but got pissed on how dead it was and on the freeloaders and signed off.
Connection seems 'wonky' since then, some sites load very fast but some slow including SW.

Last nite i wanted to cam but i started to shiver and feel sick so i decided to rest, i was sweating and snoring all nite, feels like i have a cold or something aaaand the contest starts on sunday, NOT looking forward to it, jeeez, it brings the worst traffic and most demanding guys, i wanted to make money with the single guys but now all is ruined, i have 'experience' from a couple contests now.

Aaaand i have to go to dentist on saturday & see what can be done about my dental work, i took an x-ray this week and it looks like my jaw shrink under the bridge and the root on my last tooth weakened, the last one who sustain the whole thing, i might have a surgery or a complete removal of the constructed teeth, i dont want to loose them but might need to be removed :(, i paid a lot of money for this dental work 4 years ago and i dont have money for an implant now, for me it's just too much financially.
Soo many issues with health & work & finances (university fees for son are due in march). Not easy at all :( :'(

Well I was placed number 2 on the first page last night bbw and I had one guy who wanted me to spitroast myself went private and he quit as I was getting on and that other than a tip for my tits was all the traffic I had :-(. That was at full 720p.

Placements dont seam to mean much

480p I had a full 15min show and the guy even let me cum and a oral 5 min show. Which is a busy night for me lol

I gonna try twitter tonight while I am on as I am sat there for hours. I even go without mask. So frustrating lol. I aint giving up. xxx I must look ugly as fuck in 720p and great in 420p

Lol. $0.35 for a splitroast its a good job I noticed they left or freeloaders would have had a free show.

I have no idea what's going on. All of my other ranking scores are "Excellent" (except now time online lol) But the RT has really messed me up. I have no idea how to fix this.

Yes. I've been having issues with my RTT since yesterday. It's all over the place. I emailed Liz about it and of course, it's ya know, MY computer according to her. My placement is shitty. I'm always usually on the first page between rows 3-5. I'm at the bottom of page one. I'm noticing that other models who are usually near me are also at the bottom of the page. Not. My. Computer.

I may be in the minority here but the SM encoder works almost perfectly for me - having used it for almost a month now I think I've only been inexplicably disconnected once or twice. Sometimes my FPS is low for some reason I can't understand but other than that... My image is so much better too, no lags, no skipping frames, no messed up audio, nice and clear at a much lower CPU usage. It's worth a try!

I know 99% of girls here use the c920 since forever so this won't be helpful to many... If someone from the 1% remaining is reading this and owns the c930e, throw it away and go buy the c920! You'd think the c930e, being more expensive and newer would make it a better camera. It's wider but you can't stream at 720 with it. I was going crazy thinking it was an issue with my PC, internet connection or even the Encoder or Broadcaster... I got the c920 as a last resource and turns out it was a webcam issue all along. It even has a sharper image. Shit.

Do not get the c930e!

The issues have not being fixed, how wonderful.

Room full of 10+ men, happily chatting, suddenly it empties out completely for a minute before starting to fill back in. After about 4 times in half an hour, I asked a reg why he'd left: "Oh it said you went into private"

What.

This has been happening to me for so long, on and off, that I finally stopped sending messages to support. I just gave up. I can't tell you how many times I've checked on my phone or other computer to see myself "In Private" when I was not.
It must be happening more than I thought, because my room empties like that all at once and I never could figure out wtf...
That explains a lot. Ugh

Same here, pretty often i see myself as in pvt when i check my room when i know i am not in pvt but in free chat! I was thinking is the slow proxy server showing it like this but looks like NOT. It must be the site, bad server we sit on maybe, whatever the reason is i can see some models are affected while some are not. Go figure.

Could it be remotely possible that someone clicks your private button and then cancels so fast you don't even see who it is and it never actually takes you private? Rival models or studios may have figured out how to game the system.

After getting disconnected twice in an hour yesterday with the FMLE encoder I very hesitantly tried out the newest version of the broadcaster and WOW! Love it. If you have had issues before I would totally recommend giving it a shot this time around, when it's working it's awesome!

^^Same!

FWIW, I tried the Broadcaster for the first time today, and other than an epic lag, it was just fine.

Forced to update to the latest version of the encoder.... had no problems with the previous version but this one.. Argh, lag and pixelated and I have 60/30 speed so it's not me. Saw some other ladies with the same issue.

Yes. I've been having issues with my RTT since yesterday. It's all over the place. I emailed Liz about it and of course, it's ya know, MY computer according to her. My placement is shitty. I'm always usually on the first page between rows 3-5. I'm at the bottom of page one. I'm noticing that other models who are usually near me are also at the bottom of the page. Not. My. Computer.

yes this has been happening to me too. My placement is all over the place and my RTT is "calcuating". No wonder I guess. I didnt put two and two together. Interesting though that RTT has such a huge effect on placement?

My rtt is bad as I'm uk, but I just found out that sm orders local people first anyway, which is why I'm always front page as there's not many uk girls. There was me thinking I was the shizz :p

I don't see how that theory could be possible. I've had a few trolls go private and leave immediately while I'm trying to hustle a big group of people in free chat. It always clears like half the room, and then the trolls never return. But no matter how quickly they go in and out, it always opens the paid chat window and says "Superdouche69 has logged on/off", then it goes to the 30 second pause screen.

So I think Heyho's problem is a different glitch. While peeping around other rooms, I've seen girls' screens abruptly change to say "This model is in an exclusive session" or "This model logged off", but when I refresh it it goes right back as if nothing happened on her end. I've also seen it happening during gold show countdowns, way before the timer is up. The screen changes to the profile pic with the gold show bar on it, but after a refresh, it goes back to the countdown.

^^Katy if you're right that's really messed up, but same here SweetieBitch, I've occasionally got hit by a "1-pump chump" as I call them, and it always *dings* and shows in the Paidchat window that they've logged in and out immediately. Also, it does clear out a few men but not all, some will not have even reached the "back" button to exit my room before I appear back in freechat, and they're always like, "woah that guy came fast". Lol.

What I've been experiencing is that over the course of a few seconds (plenty of time for paidchat to *ding* and open), ALL the guys will rapidly filter out of my room until utter emptiness, and it stays that way for a minute, maybe one guy will come in, maybe two, they never talk and often leave (feels like page 5 traffic)...then suddenly, whoooosh 8 guys come flooding in all at once and it's back to normal.

I've never looked in other models rooms so I can't say I've seen it happen myself, but when my bf checks my feed on his phone it does sometimes glitch out and say I'm in private when I'm not, and the page stays "in private" indefinitely until he refreshes, unlike when a 1-pumper hits me and the page flips back to my feed pretty quick.

same thing has been happening to me. im getting incredibly low traffic as well and i think it's because it's showing that i'm away, off line, or in a private when im not

wtf Streamate...says my ping is 367!!!! I do speedtest and I am 10ms. I am close to your servers, what gives? I don't pay 200 for the best internet to be told I'm at 367. Whatever.

I downloaded the new encoder today to get back on Streamate and it can't even find my audio. Skype works, everything else works but SM broadcaster can't find it. Frustrating.

I'm beyond frustrated with the placement due to the RTT. I've worked extremely hard to get to where I am and it's fucked because of the site fucking up my RTT. Fuck you, SM. Fuck you. Don't blame me for your fucked up shit. Admit that your site blows.

THIS ^^^ You literally just told my life story right now. I can't even sign on anymore without getting upset. I tried to focus on other things today. Adding Goodies for Niteflirt and such. I'm starting to feel SM isn't worth the headache for me. I could stab myself in the foot 36 times with a rusty spoon rather than sign into SM right now. Totally bummed.

It blows. It's a punch to the gut when I see my placement drop 3 rows. It's an even harder punch when Liz tells me that my "computer can't handle the new Broadcaster" even though I told her that I'm using the Encoder, NOT the Broadcaster.
