Yes that was the last ranking i got after logging off. Customers couldnt go private its fucked up. But I sold some videos.
Thank you love, i know how these things work but i cant help it with the round trip, is the best internet i can get for home users, it's the fiber optic up to 25MB upload speed but i guess it travels thru more nods til it reaches SM servers therefore the numbers i get. You guys must have top notch internet at SM studio, fiber optic some huge thing to support all studio girls streaming the same time. Out of curiosity, what is ur round trip euro_princess?
Regarding the hrs, i just wrote above in my post why i cant work more hrs, i am happy to be able to work these & not be totally out of order giving my herniated back disks, i am happy to be able to walk and move around u know.
ETA: i in general have no problems when site is working good, people really see me in real time, maybe 1-2 secs delay but not more, i see myself the same if i check my own feed. Lately since SM is changing things i have problems with people not seeing me at all, they say my window is black :(
This is SM's fault not mine.
By the way, it was you who said SM wanna build some servers here in EU? How accurate this piece of info is? maybe they are doing this right now in order to support expansion to Europe? Pls do tell more if u have info on it, Ty!
Exactly the same issue I've been having for 3 weeks now, and I have very great and reliable internet 150DL and 25UL and a good computer, and my ping from my internet connection is excellent on speed tests.. its something going on with the site and I've been mailing them constantly and getting my clients to send in print screens also (who knows if they actually do). It didn't start happening until they announced that there was going to be new preferred settings for the encoder, so I'm hoping once they implement it site wide (scary this is how it is before that change is even fully implemented, what'll happen once it is???) that it'll eventually sort itself out. Very exhausting and tiring making about 50% less than what I used to based on customers not being able to see my room... but what can you do??
Sm is down again.chat is stuck in paid private chat ,but customer left a long time ago.be careful ladies.
How hard is it to start over on SM? I would like to totally rebrand myself. I haven't used my account in almost a year and the persona just doesn't fit my style of camming any more. Tips or suggestions are welcome!
The 720 settings will be officially released next week on Streamatehelp.com, and a formal email notification will also be sent to performer inmail inboxes a day or two after they are released. If you would like to try the 720 settings now, email me (Vanessa from Streamate) at modeling @ streamate.com and I will send you the files and instructions. : )
^^^ Very nice to have u here talking to us Vanessa, so SM's representative is reading our posts, i hope u guys also listen to us, that's why i talk about things in here cause i know u guys read :)
"Every action has a reaction" so i act for u to react :)
Much love & make our site work! For all of us to benefit off it, to make money for ourselves and u guys! xxx
Edited to add: by the way, u say we can use the new settings safely now if u give the instructions? Without glitches/ issues? Will they work if we use them? I really wish to make some money this weekend u know, i used different settings in hope one will work but been disconnected 4 times in an hour last night, got tired of trying & logged off frustrated. I'll email you for sure :)
"Will they work if we use them?"
They are "technically" still in beta testing as of now. We have encountered a few quirks with certain cams at this juncture, most notably with the BCC950 in that it at times disallows the fps (frames per second) to go beyond 10. On the flipside, some models who are using the BCC950, however, have not reported any problems. The Logitech C920 seems to work beautifully with the new settings. Successful use of the new 720 settings will be contingent upon your equipment/set-up. Similar to the original HD Encoder settings options, there are 2 settings options as of now to stream in 720: Recommended and Basic. If you are having issues with running the Recommended settings, switch down to the Basic settings.
Re: connection issues:
If you run into or have been experiencing connection issues recently, please be sure to send a report to Model Support ([email protected]) with the following info:
- date/time frame of when issues occurred
- details of the incident/issues
- type of processor that your computer is running on
- which browser you're using to stream
- whether you are using the HD Encoder
- details of your Internet speed (go to speedtest.net to take a quick speed test)
Although it seems tedious, reporting issues when they occur will help our developers better pin-point potentially widespread problems. I've been given a head's up that our team is currently tracking some issues that may impact live streams in the form of connection issues or Gold Show interruptions: they are actively working on a resolve for this and to eliminate any negative impacts.
I hope this helps.
I've been using/testing the new settings for quite some time now. Vanessa will email you what you need to get started KatM and I have no issues to complain about. My roundtrip goes up and down, but nothing too bad. For me it was just like Vanessa's instructions on youtube for the encoder. Pretty simple if I can do it anyone can do it. LOL I do find a slight lag, that goes away if you stop moving for a second and let the cam focus. haha, which is usually when I'm spread eagle...
I guess i should add that do use the C920
so what happens to the regular hd girls?
Is there anyone in here who can give the new settings in writing & not as a file? Cause i received 2 files i cant use, seriously, the parameters are incorrect, i have more video devices to use with the encoder, not only my logitech camera, when i open the file(s) u sent vanessa it picks other video driver other than my logitech camera and the numbers are wrong, if i select my logitech camera the numbers change again to a wrong input size.
That's what i used when testing things around:
Input/Output 1280x720 with 29.97 fps and 2000 bit rate.
The format i use now is H.264 with Profile: Baseline, Level 3.1, Keyframe frequency 1 second and Encoder version is 3.2, are these the correct parameters or should they be different?
Can someone make a print screen & show the new settings how they look for u in encoder?
Thank you!
what did you guys use for the output size, bitrate and sample for the new encoder settings?
Update: There are no configurations available at this time that you can manually input. The video "output" size will auto-adjust to what your selected cam can handle, as well as list appropriate options within the "input" size drop-down menu. If you do not see 1080x720 as an option in the video "input" size drop-down menu, select the next closest option that will match the video "output" size that is listed. If there are no options that are even remotely close to 1080x720, you may need to upgrade your cam. I would strongly recommend the Logitech C920, which retails around $75 online. Amazon usually has some pretty good deals: I got one of my C920's for under $65. You can also buy one on ebay, remanufactured, for much cheaper... just be sure to go through a reputable seller that has a reasonable return policy.
Vanessa, are we switching to 1080x720 video or 1280x720? I was under the impression that SM preferred a 4:3 ratio (or 16:9, whichever way one prefers to phrase it), which would require the 1280x720 output option.
Thank you for ur answer Vanessa, let me tell u I DO HAVE THE LOGITECH C920 & i can select the Input & Output size from the drop down menu as 1280x720, i think i will use what i know already, i am puzzled of why the files u sent wont open up correctly, they should auto-adjust but they not. MAYBE BECAUSE I RUN WINDOWS VISTA? Not Vista friendly maybe?
How come there are no manual settings to put in??!! The tech guys should provide these parameters, believe me when i say some people like me will need these parameters cause not all systems are the same, we have different computers, operating systems, video drivers & such, I AM ADVANCED regarding the encoder, i know how to do the settings, i just need the correct settings lol.
There are some parameters i am not sure about & i talk about the Profile ones, what to put in there? I will make a print screen myself if here is nobody willing to help. It irritates me when people come here to show off & tell us how much money they make but when u ask for real help & a print screen nobody actually cares to help.
Yes, i always 'smell' when people have an agenda, they brag & bugger off :(

Are these settings ok? Please note the small window for profile, is that how is needed to be Vanessa?
Opps I gave the wrong info then .I just read it couldnt be used with MAC and I thought that was the case.
I use it on a windows 7 pc ,with a BCC 950 cam ,been on like 3 hours and no issues for me.No trouble setting the encoder and to me output auto adjusted the same as input,1280x780.Before getting on cam I read what you said about getting low fps with BCC950 ,not the case yet and I hope it will stay the same .I have someone monitoring my video all the time ,were no glitches at customer end since I set encoder with the settings you sent but also no difference in video quality,maybe because I stream for a few months already in 1280x780 with 2000 bitrate.
