:yes:Me too. Easter day=My day.
Question for techie girls.. I was just denied Gold shows on one of my accounts on sm, because liz said I didn't have sound(I do), and my stream quality was only a '2'. What does THAT even mean? Ive been streaming in HD, so idk.:-\
Thanks in advance.
^^^ Glam, u mean HD using the encoder (any of them) or not?

HD, no encoder.

For goldshows you need to be using the smbroadcaster. It must be how they know if sound or not. I take it you select HD in the drop down box at the start?
What selena says, for gold shows u need to use the encoder, either SM Broadcaster or Adobe encoder (FMLE).
It is mandatory xx

I read post for months about everybody having so many tech problems thinking to myself....never happens to me. Everything has been running great. Nothing wrong. I use the FMLE with zero problems. Until tonight. A regular I have not seen kept trying to take me exclusive and it would clear my room aaaaand nothing. This went on 4 times. It took like 3 to 4 minutes to clear allowing people back in my room. I finally told him to stop. Another time maybe. He apologized. Another regular that I skype with too bought a 30 minute block. When anyone took me private there was a long long delay before they showed up or not show up at all. Well, he showed up after buying the block. YAY! He tried the microphone part. The delay was so long it was aggravating. I told him try the phone feature. He did ....it sucked! I was getting half of his conversation. At the end of his 30 minutes with 5 minutes left he finally gave up and asked me to meet him on Skype. (he didnt say skype or make reference to anything but I knew what he meant.) He paid for a 15 minute show and everything worked out picking up another 1 hour skype show right after. So to all you girls that have been having so much trouble with SM. I feel your pain. Add me to the list. No idea why this shit has to happen. In fact my 1 hour Skype after this was telling me how fucked up SM is for a customer. I am sure everything will work out until then....hang in there!! SM? You guys better get your shit together.

CAN ANYONE HELP ?
I went on sm with encoder and when checking my room noticed a huge delay. Restarted encoder, same. Went on SMB , even worse.
I tested with two cameras, BCC950 and C920.
And thru encoder with verysoft.
Speed test :local
44569
with seattle server
44570
encoder showing nothing, no bitrate dropping , still having a huge delay when checking myself online
44571
one of the calibrations of smb, couldnt get it to calibrate output 1280x720 ( with both cams I was getting this ) :
44572
while streaming with smb showing this :
44573
0.88 FPS? WTF ?
my computer specs are these :
44574
My head hurts. Meantime I`m streaming OK , with 29 FPS on adultwork. Can be something at my end ?
I wasn`t even meant to work today , why the hell did I get on cam ?
EDIT : tried again encoder and it started dropping frames.
44575
when trying to calibrate smb I notice that whatever cam I use it is freezing during calibration and going way slower than usual. I don`t remember being like this at previous calibrations (before today ).
I UPGRADED my connection the other day, went from medium package to a faster one. Does it look like my connection could be faulty ?
I don`t even know why I upgraded , I was totally fine with old plan, and upload speed is the same for both plans, up to 30.
^^^ That's exactly what happened to me thursday morning, the fps in red and bad lag and all that mess, is not ur connection, it's SM.
Tried to work this morning again, was just plain dead. No tech issues on my side from what i saw but dead. Logged off, went to token sites.

@ seicento.
change the cam to C920 maybe that fixes your problem. use SM broascast with C920 I mean...

Thank you for your answer .
But,
I tried both cams. I can`t get it to calibrate to 1280x720 (output) nor let me stream with normal fps . I got 3 FPS thru c920. I used them both with no problems till today.

03-26-2016, 06:32 AM
I think it`s me... but what ?
I tried adobe encoder with cams.com and I get the dropping frames there too .
I can`t even call my provider and yell because...everything is working fine except sites that use FMLE. I don`t even know how to explain them what issues I`m having and if they come over and test the speeds they`ll say it`s fine.
EDIT: And....SOLVED.Never fully trust speed tests lol.

I use the broadcaster. But I don't understand What she means by my streaming is a 2. A 2 what?
Maybe it was a typo. I'm gonna email her.
It can't mean my rating. Because I've always had a 5

Tons of frame rate issues - thankfully no disconnects but yes the FMLE fps is alive and well today. My feed is going from 300fps back to 2k nonstop

I had 2 guys, one a good reg, tell me that my video kept glitching even though it looked fine on my end so it wasn't my fault. I couldn't stay connected to the broadcaster, it kicked me off like 4 times in under 15 min so I had to go to the encoder.

Starting to think Sm hates me. I've had 7 horrible days in a row... Not one good night. I don't know what I did to get this. I get slow days... but not ONE good day since over a week ago terrifies me. I won't make rent at the rate I'm going. I'm so scared.

I was in a 45 minute private today with a new custie, and caught 8 peepers! I DIDN'T catch at least a dozen more.
I know it's been said a million times, but I wish SM would deal with this.>:(
I usually have my rates reversed, but then I know I miss a lot of new guys, because they just don't stick around to ask me how to have the exclusive option.:(
F..k it!
Rates doubled for private from now on.
Wow SM is brutally slow this week, i cam at 'weird' hrs because my sleep is messed up again but still, they used to spend even at these hrs. Must be the end of the month slowness...

I worked over night and it seemed slower than earlier in the evening, with a lot of quickies and peepers. My sleeping gets messed up too so I'm horrible at sticking to a schedule.

Has been really really slow, but if I just sit there and wait for someone I know I tend to at least get my minimum goal for the week. Couple times I spent over an hour on and not one person said a word to me, but then suddenly as soon as someone starts talking to me I will get a room full so I try not to get to discouraged.

Dear fuck i can already see how my first night back after waiting for my new pc (which is a fucking straight BEAST!! 23% CPU while calibrating and having my antivirus and antimalware downloading at the same time!!! Thank you again Sel!!)

He was on a good behavior lol
He was able to help me out with all the issues real quick with him being able to
see the screen, so hopefully tongihts shift will go smooth. At least i know for a fact if it doesnt ITS NOT ME!!
Again thank you so much for helping me out and being so quick to respond to any questions
and concerns and going above and beyond what i would expect someone to do for a stranger.
You might not think of it as much, but you guys took a fair amount of time to help me,
theres a lot of people who wouldnt take even a second to respond to a message
let alone what you guys have done.
Again 100000000 thanks to you and your hubs, and i hope you have a great holiday break <3

Lol trust me its his pleasure. He said something about cores is as kink as it got lol. Even on holiday he checks his emails in dull spots so just email him and he should get back to you. And really glad you got a beast for camming now. Makes a huge difference if you can do more than just sit there. Small Bluetooth headset hidden in hair you can watch netflix ;-) while your waiting. Just annoying when the film is at a good bit.

So far this week I have been glitch free happily using the broadcaster everyday with out incident. I was paranoid to post this because I didnt want to jinx it but I thought I owed it to you all. Also remember that its April 1, and no this isnt a joke, its just to remind everyone that Liz told me they hope to have the NEW, not beta, broadcaster released this month. So staying hopeful.
Also as an extra tip, my best time of month is always the first week of the month so Get on and Get that $$ ladies! Gotta make up for the hard times past or the ones to come while we can!!
I also had a great shift last nite, yay!! also using the SMB, Happy dance here!!
Pls SM, hurry up with that new SMB updated and upgraded, show us ur love xxx!!

^^^ Thank you, yes it was good after messing around with camming at the wrong hrs lol, i just cant help it, if my sleep is messed up i am fucked lol.
It was an effort to stay awake and cam during night time again but well worth it. Hoping for more good shifts xx

Funny enough mobile version changes and so does tablet version then changes back to the old version. One night the mobile version had features now it doesnt again they might be trying some geolocation setting to shiw the site in the launguage of the connection origin. Bit like Google gives different versions at different bits of the world
