No, i meant do they program their number in, like we do, ( and im not camming from a phone...im on a pc) to have the call go through.

Please don't take it personally, it's not you! Lots of people are saying the exact same thing. Do you sell clips? Maybe it would be a good idea to spend more time on clips and less on camming for a little while?

Exactly, I wouldn't take it personal. Tonight reached record silent periods. I'm talking 45 minutes an no one even peeped in. My best friend went to go check my cam and asked if I was in a private, when I told her no and to refresh it. I'm thinking I just am appearing in private or offline which is infuriating.

This is scary cause i experienced the same with a friend of mine too, i went to look for her on cam and she was showing as in private, i finished with my work and 30 mins later i looked again to see if she was done, she still showed as in pvt.
I was happy she got a whale there spending big but next day she wrote me a message how she did not have a pvt all nite. WTF??!!
I mean, this is crazy, we sit on cam waiting for spenders when they cant access our rooms actually, who knows how many times this happened to me too when i had a bad shift.
I dont even know how to fix this cause u just dont know ur room is showing as u are in pvt cause is not showing to everyone?! like there is a small number of people able to enter and chat so u think all is normal actually and u just have bad luck or start to think it's you.
This issue is aggravating, i think what they do actually is throw some of us models on bad servers that barely function and this because they dont have the capacity to sustain all streams in good function?
It scares me to see 1800+ models online at once, i mean it's a lot, guess they cant handle these numbers simply so they either throw us offline (disconnect us) or put some of us on dead servers.
I did not cam in the last 4 days cause of a personal situation and had some time to look up site, read more over here and see a pattern.
I think i should avoid prime time hrs and get on cam when site is not soo flooded with models but then who knows what traffic i get?!
You the most glitchy site i know SM, not good, not good at all!

Exactly, I don't know when in legit sitting there wasting time with no chance of someone popping in because it says I'm offline or in orivate.

Also, I TOO had a 1m:24s session that was not showed on my paid time at all, which is obnoxious af, give me my 2 dollars you cunts.

I hope this isn't against sm rules but I straight put 'if it says I'm in private, just refresh ;)' as part of my room topic and immediately guys are leaving but actually coming right back, so at least I have them reattempting.

^ Kat, I think if you're watching without a registered account, it shows the performer as being "in pvt" after a certain amount of time whether they actually are or not. But I doubt this is what members see seeing as they can camp out in your room for hours.

Nothing wrong with you, Ellie! It happens. I had a record breaking bad night too - if it wasn't for a random big tip I would have finished at like $7 for 7 hours. But then you go on another night and you have a normal night or sometimes you have a great night.

Ok, i know about this thing, after a few minutes watching a person's freechat as an invisible user/ non registered account it kicks u out of the room saying the person was taken pvt and then if u refresh u can get back in.
But this was not the case with my friend nor with myself cause the freechat wont load at all at 1st try, i check my feed time to time when i cam to make sure all is ok and sometimes my room opens up but sometimes it shows as i am in private when i am not actually.

I mean this is the kind of situation with in's/ out's when many models complain about people coming in and leaving right away or shortly after they said hi, i think they kicked out and the 'model was taken pvt' or 'model got offline' screen comes up.
Why then would guys come in and say hi and leave right away or rooms empties all of a sudden or guys ask something then boom, they out?!
We can never know what happens for sure with every disconnect or particular event but there is a pattern, after soo many years on cam and soo many posts i read here i can see a pattern on SM, it's their site growing bigger and bigger that cant sustain everyone's stream w.o issues.

ETA: i dont let members camp in my room more than 3-5 mins, i kick them out if they dont talk ;) so i dont really know they can stay connected for hrs but i think the same rule applies to registered members too, they can only stay connected in my room for 'xxx' minutes then they get disconnected but able to return, i am sure of this 100%.

This happens all the time to me.. I wait and wait for some traffic... eventually when they come around they say hi and before I am able to say ( not type) Hi back they leave..
this can't be happening to most of them, I mean I doubt everyone of them is that retarded or uninterested to hang out for 2 seconds...

I had some many problems yesterday.. from gold shows disconnected with 30 sec left, ( after my 5th attempt obviously,, ) to traffic vanishing all of a suuden!
I mean come on! 10 people leaving at once?!
Like you say, Kat, it either shows them I am in private.. or it disconnects them!
my friend who hangs out in my room alot tells me ( and I see it ), he never gets disconnected! He is from Cali so might be placed on a "good" server?

After a frustrating 4 hours, I almost hit the jackpot. An unbelievable 5 guys in private all at once, being all "that's so hot pump it fuck yeah"...for TWO MINUTES. Then suddenly they ALL disappeared in the space of half a second.

All of them. Even the one who said "got a toy?" (I said yes and was about to grab it) and the one who said "shake ass again!". They didn't wait.

Just - poofpoofpoofpoof.

Well, I guess I'll try splitcamming for the first time tonight. After reading everyone's complaints, I think the same thing happened here. A few guys were getting mad because "I refused their private" and one said "Oh, both our losses I guess". I'm not going to focus energy on SM anymore if they are fucking us harder than we ever fuck ourselves.

I don't know how long many of you ladies have cammed on SM but just go back in this thread. Start at the beginning and you will see the same thing over and over again. All the issues with the site. It effects different people at different times. The being shown in private thingy when you are not has been around for at least 3 years. The mobile phone issues seemed to rear its ugly hear around the beginning of 2015 and was abysmal by May. That's not all together SM's fault but more of an issue with running a Flash based site in a world that doesn't support Flash. See non-adult sites that use Flash are getting respect and browser support. The camsites with all of these encoders are struggling to adapt. I think the SM Broadcaster was an attempt to get things to stream better on multiple devices. They need to get it to work with HTML5 so mobile users can have consistent streaming.

i read on a popular model's twitter that SM lost their TV Contract for Gold Shows. Although I dont do TV Broadcast I thought it was interesting if true. Like i said, this was a tweet I saw so I cannot back this up with any legit info.

I still enjoy SM, but when I return I will be starting on another site part time because of how stressful SM can be. As of right now, I have 6 messages in my inbox from custies saying "I tried joining your fansite on SM but the link doesnt work" or "I emailed customer service about your fansite and they said you didnt have one"

I love Model Centro and I switched to SM so I could integrate my site. But, the fact that I integrated my fansite with SM and SM can't even acknowledge my customer's potential business or my fansite? I won't be giving them my attention as much. I ride way too hard on SM for my fans to "join my fansite" never direct linking, doing all my personal correspondence, even tech issues...but the minute one of my customers forwarded me a message from SM Support basically denying my fansite was that "DING!" moment for me.

SM sent out an email recently Called Febuary News and Updates. This is what they said about TV Broadcast

TV Broadcast News
We have important news about the TV Broadcast feature. Our television partnership has ended, which means that "TV Broadcast" shows are no longer shown on live television. However, the feature is active and is still a great way to pick up new viewers!

When you opt-in to "TV Broadcast" shows, you'll receive producer offers while in Party chat. Offers still include a guaranteed goal so you can begin the show as soon as the countdown is over. These shows always appear in the top row of page one! Read the TV Broadcast help page for more details. We'll be updating this feature with a new name and rules soon, so stay tuned!

But really tv gold shows have not aired on actually TV for a very long time now. This is the first time that they've told everyone else this.

God, that really sucks. SM has been terrible for me lately, disconnecting me at least 3 times a shift. I wont even attempt a Gold Show anymore because there is such a high chance of it happening in the middle of one. They really need to have a new system for that since it is clearly their fault we are getting disconnected. It is total bullshit.

Ladies I need some advice...here's my scenario:

The previous SMBroadcast worked great for me. Since installing the new version I have the settings calibrated to [email protected],2551 kbps picture quality very high.....whenever I use this setting people say I'm freezing and pixilated and I saw it for myself when I checked my feed. Its only using 22% CPU at the most....so why am I having this problem?

Now I dropped the calibration down to [email protected] with BEST picture quality and don't have that problem, then everything is nice and clear and RT is good....but then SM seems to put me at lower placement on that setting (I'm guessing as I never can see where I'm placed due to geoblock).

I have a brand new HP computer Windows 10 desktop,with all the bells and whistles. I am hardwired and My upload speed is 1.9 at the highest....could this be the problem....the upload speed? Any help or advice would be great.

I actually made my medium-goal this week. But it was terrible, starting Monday! I am convinced it is SM's fault. I'm even learning to tough it out. In any case, I thought at first it was that I hadn't updated the encoder, so I did, and that was the reason I made a whooping 3.23 usd on Monday. Crap fest! I uninstalled and went back to the earlier version. Problem solved. Still a very exhausting week but like I said I made my goal so for that I'm thankful.

so TL;dr: If the new version of the broadcaster is giving you trouble, go back to the last version and make yer moolah. Life's too short.

I just tried to find the exact post where it was posted. Sadly I could not. But I remember the conversation where a SM representative told a cammer that the shows were not appearing on tv. However they would continue to do those shows. I did however find this and it made me laugh. Its almost from a year ago and we're still raging about the same ish.

fucking sm !!! customer leaving sound didnt work at all for me today,i was in pvt on both aw and sm at the same time and concentrated on myself at some point as both customers wanted me to have an orgasm i found myself in free chat ,playing!don`t know how long i`ve been there,seconds,a minute,two.geeeeez!Not only pissed that i was playing in free chat but fearing a suspension now.ughhhh

When this has happened to me I write support to let them know it was a mistake, so they know I was not doing a show in free chat on purpose. So if someone reports it, there is info about it on file.

Can't hurt.
