The past couple days on SM have been absolute bullshit for me as well. I started getting on around Wednesday with a measly goal of $200 per day at 8 hrs. per day so I can pay my rent on Monday and guess what... im sitting at a fucking $1!
I have been on maybe 2 hours per day because it is so slow and mind numbing. I have already been on for 3 hours today and I am sitting on a big ass goose egg! No one is talking, Gold Shows are getting no gold, no privates, nothing. This is fucking ridiculous.
I am currently siting in the #1 spot in the Pornstar category and the first page in general "Girls" and it makes no fucking difference. I might as well be on the very last page.

Girl it sounds like something is wrong with your stream. Are you using the broadcaster? Have you had anyone check your room for you? Cause Im sitting in the same spot and its slow but its not THAT slow! Plus no one talking to you could mean they are coming in but the page isnt loading for them. I would have it checked out by someone from another computer if I were you.

^ Okay that top row thing was super weird. I kept checking periodically through the morning and after a couple of hours my entire top 2 rows were mostly Colombians or dudes. It didn't fix itself until I completely cleared everything.
Clearing everything and restarting my browser fixed it, but considering I don't have a customer account and had never been in those rooms I have no idea why they got stuck up there in the first place.

Slowest/cheapest night I've had in months. I was in the top 2 rows and had the most uninterested/silent traffic ever. And I was being particularly fun/engaging myself. 4.5 hours and three shows total. Fuck that shit.

Was right next to you last night and had the same experience, what a BRUTAL little evening that was. I popped in on you & lurked a couple times (hope that's OK) and was really impressed with your energy and tenacity in the face of...that. Ugh. I just slept for like 9 hours and I'm STILL exhausted. At least we stuck it out?

All my shifts this week have gone something like... sitting there for five hours, making $30 tops. I'll usually have a few bad nights in a week but not EVERY night. Weird because I started feeling like everything was finally starting to go back to normal. I don't know. It's so hard to have like a clear idea of what's happening because while some people are really struggling other people are having a blast. All I know is I've had two people pop into my room at all in the last 8 minutes, so, you know.

Recently I've tried not to complain too much because it really is pointless and I've been happy to make all the money I need to live, even if I haven't been making anything above that. But it's weird to feel so... powerless? Like everything is up to chance and chance is not on your side. I mean, I have been more consistent, I have been working harder, I have been marketing myself more, but things have only gotten worse. I suppose they would've gotten even worse if I hadn't though.

Worst week I've had on SM in months. It was like this perfect storm of glaring technical issues and bullshit traffic with a contest thrown in because of course. Seeing as how pretty much everyone appears to be having some sort of issue currently it would be nice for some TRANSPARENCY but of course that's too much to ask from a company that takes 65% of what we make and then tells paying members to see other models when issues arise.

Bad weeks happen and I don't think Streamate is over and done with by any means but I agree that there needs to be an overhaul when it comes to support and communication. For chrissakes, MFC's interface may look like it's still the 90s but they seem to have significantly fewer problems while still managing HD and all that.

It's not just you. I could show you mine, its pretty terrible. I compared last years and its showing that things have gone downhill. I didn't consistently cam last year so its hard to compare the full 12 months to this years. I do however see that it's been deader than usual and members are aggressive on getting free shit more than ever. What page do you cam on? page 1? Page 4? I know it makes a huge difference on page 1 versus 4 or whatever. If you're page 1 and this is still going on, you can't be the only one seeing the low paid % in chat.

There is definitely weird shenanigans happening with placement. I have seen top-row girls on PAGE 2 while there are uh...not exactly front-page girls in the top rows. Also, with regards to the weird dudes showing up on top sometimes, I noticed that and logged into my custy account (don't take it away from me SM...I like making it raaaaaaaaaaaain) and they were ABOVE my favourites. Which...should not be possible. I've never even been in the dudes section. Also, weirdly, they were all dudes from Russia, Colombia, Philipines. Very odd. The other day when I was on, my placement was bouncing around from row 5 on page 1 (woo-hoo!) to bottom of page 2...with mostly the same people on, and no more models logging on in between. So who the fuck knows anymore.

This is what it looks like to me (Firefox, viewing as a non-logged-in guest) when it's NOT giving me Colombians, men, and male duos. What's wrong with the pic you posted? (I am still new to SM, I have no idea what is supposed to be "normal"!)

Not that I have an issue with this but Men and Transgendered are never shown on the first page of SM. YOu would have to select that category in order to see them. Also the default is usually set to ALL under region. At least it is for me here in the US. On the front page its a nice mix of girls from all over so I'm not complaining about that. But those cammers in my screenshot are not top row cammers. It's back to normal right now. But for hours that was the line up on SM.

Is SM recording my shows and selling them on SM and I get no cut of it?? Amy input on this would be great! I'm really confused on this ...thanks.

Yeah, I know that TS/TG and Men (and couples?) are never supposed to be shown on the front page, but I have no idea what a *normal* top cammers front page should look like. How do I find out who actually should be the no.1 slot cammer? Right now it's a GB, with an ES (gold show) in second place and RU in third. Then there's MT, BS, another ES.

SM does record some of our private shows and sell them behind our backs. Girls have been complaining about this forever, but it seems like everyone just sucks it up now. It's no different from custies recording us and then selling it, really. Those are just things that happen because capitalism and general human suckage.

Then I really have no idea? Ive never accessed SM while in the UK. Next month I'll be there and will be able to test it out. I've heard before that it depends on where you access the site from determines who you see. But I do on a normal day I've seen quite a few m/f couples show up first page. Thats the only exception where penises appear.

Here again with my system consumption tonite while camming SM 720HD & Bonga in HD nano encoder stream quality.

What do u tech savvy babes reckon, is it too much of an effort for my system to sustain these streams?

Where should the CPU stay to make sure i dont force the system too hard? (intel 5 with 8GB ram here, see the pic with my specs below)

Used verysoft to split and set Source (camera) resolution to 1280x720 in verysoft settings, the resolution needed for SM, that's how is supposed to be set right?

Maybe splitting is not doable for me? What do u think? PC was not noisy but i could hear it "Pulling horse power" so to say LOL.
Connection handled the streams w.o any problems but the 80% CPU worries me some. Ty!

EllieGold
03-12-2016, 11:00 PM
Woah 80% is a tad bit high. Now that I see it's a Core i5 2nd gen, that makes sense. My laptop had 2nd gen in it from 2011 so it could handle photoshop while browsing but that was about it. Seriously, a 2nd gen Core i5 is not too bad. To splitcam, ideally you would want to get the newest generation Core i7. I refuse to splitcam with my 6700K because I feel like I'm stressing it to the maximum (I can but hate going above 50% CPU usage).

KatM
03-12-2016, 11:16 PM
^^^ I know, right? I mean i dont wanna cam with less than hd720 on SM, but i also dont wanna force this PC too much, guess SM Broadcaster it is and that's it, for the moment.
Maybe soon i can buy an i7 or higher and pass this PC to my son, he has an OK AMD that cant really support dont know what games he wanna play there . So i had to try to see how my PC handle the streams at these resolutions. No problem, SM it is, i fight this site til i make it work the way i want it, i am really determined, i am a fighter for fucks sake's, not a looser haha.

On the windows index experience what are the scores per part. 4.9 doesnt seam right. My lowly amd is 7.4 on the windows index.

If you can re run it and provide a snap of the breakdown.

Windows updates are important however it might be a driver is out of date giving such a low score for such a high spec pc.

03-13-2016, 12:00 AM
I splitcam with a 2nd gen i5 and yeah it goes up to 80,even 90% when I open sw or fb while I stream but my feed was never affected,always crystal clear vid and no delay,so it is possible.Ideally would be to not have it run up to 80% but one year since I split aw and sm both hd it didn't die on me.I use 1280x720 on both sites.So it's still doable,just not ideal.
Unfortunatelly 2nd gen i5 can't be upgraded to i7 so a new computer is the way to go in order to splitcam without worries.

Yeah I read your post in another thread,and that sounds like a good option because it's cheaper.I have a mini tower if that matters,but cases are not expensive anyway so I can get one if needed,RAM Corsair 1600mhz ,do they work with an i7 ,6th gen ?

Selenasecret
03-13-2016, 12:38 AM
Yeah power supply as long as it has enough juice is transferable. Graphics card and ram are. Unless you say went for a ddr4 motherboard. Then you would need new ram. cd drives and hard drives are also swapped no problem. Hell hubbie is putting the old core 2 duo back together so I can do a show and he can access the pc I use for camming and have the video encoded for the tippers so no time is lost doing this bit. So I got my clips to sell while carrying on working.

Even your old pcs can make you money and provide use even if they are too slow to cam.

That's my card, i know it's a slowish one but i had to get it to be able to cam, the 1st one i got was much better (forgot the specs) but for some damn reason it was not compatible with my system so i had to return it.
This card did the job til now but i think i need a better/ faster one, right?

http://www.geforce.com/drivers

I don't remember exactly and I cant run index now because I don't have win 7 anymore and in win10 I don't understand the testing and results but I used to get 5 something when testing in win7 ,with my graphic card which is a cheap AMD ATI RADEON .Anyway,it had nothing to do with drivers but with how capable my videocard is ,I remember it was testing more things regarding video and 3d was the lowest for my graphics and in the end I was having the lowest subscore for graphics but just bcs 3d was low .Which I don't find important in camming?Or am I wrong?Anyway I'm not into this stuff much,I only know basics regarding computers but as drivers were always installed and upto date and was getting a low subscore I'm thinking that might be the case for getting a low index score,the capabilities and not drivers.
Also,I thought the videocard was last important thing for camming ,the more important being processor and RAM?I mean,I'm camming ok with my cheap videocard and low score I was getting,and I doubt a better videocard will solve any splitcam issue mentioned here but as I am not a computer savvy I might be wrong.

Cpu and ram are most important however a pc without bottle necks in is also important.

Drivers change and they can have a massive effect on performance. However if windows is struggling with the card it can take away some cpu power.

You can cam with a hd5450 silent card with no issues. It displays 1080p and 3 screens and its only $15.

They removed the index in windows 8.1 it was a handy tool to see where the issues are. Anything rated a 7 is decent hell 6.5 is decent. As the old cam pc on the older encoder worked fine.

Different versions of Windows also deal with speed differently. Windows 8 was a massive speed boost over windows 7 and windows 10 sits between the 2.

If there was money in building pc for cam girls I would get the hubbie to do it as the amd I use was $200. 30% cpu and the encoder calibrates to best 1280x720 and thats a $200 pc. Its got no bottlenecks.

If your interested in what your pc can do and where which parts are causing issues with the speed try

http://www.userbenchmark.com/software

Its the desktop score you are looking for. Not games.

03-13-2016, 04:34 AM
Thanks Kat it was worth a try.

The cpu and ram. Top notch score. after the graphics card the hard drive would mean it scores 5.9

@KatM :

learn more about Windows Aero .There you will find how to comute to Basic colours for the system and raise the rating.Also you will have to think about buying a SSD hard for better speed .It''s about 60$ one and you will speed up your system

It's the videocard that I have,Ati radeon 5450 and that was giving me the low score in index.Like 5.9 or something and for 3d was lowest.It's 30$ in my country,one of the cheapest .I have two of them ,on different computers ,doing a good job on both.My camming pc came with that videocard in and I found it ok so I bought similar for my old pc which is not for camming.
That is what I was trying to say,no need to spend on a great graphic card NOW because it's not the most important and won't solve splitcamming issues,rather save $ for an i7 ,which is what I'm doing now.

@KatM : for more help I need you to press Ctrl+Alt+Del in the same time to open Task Manager and make a printscreen.There we can see what processes eat the CPU.
