HUUUUGE time lag in SM...ideas on how to fix?
I was wondering why I was having such a slow day....turns out that there is like a two minute time delay on my sound in SM!!! Thanks to the reg who pointed it out....
I use the encoder, and I should have loads of processer space and bandwidth...any ideas on how to speed things up? Ways I can tweak the encoder, perhaps?
Thanks - I really need to get this fixed, and computers aren't my strong suit at ALL!!:'(

I've had the same issue before, made using audio a waste of time. Is this a one off or does it keep happening? For me it happened just the once, I put it down to issues on SM's end. You're using the saved encoder settings? When I open the hde it opens up to a default setting, have to go to open my SM saved settings. Find out if it's happening all the time or just sometimes. Hope you get it sorted :)

This is the first time that its been mentioned to me...think its been happening the past couple days though...hmmmmmm...
I'm checking CPU, and that's nice and low (40% when streaming) and checking my encoder profile, but everything seems fine (I even lowered a couple values in case the encoder was overloaded)...I 'm making sure that there is nothing else running on the computer.....
Lets try re-starting....
So much for a nice productive day online...

Rosie, I had the same problem today. I started to wonder if it was just the site today, and considering you had the same issue, it almost confirms it. The only thing I did not do today was hook up my hardwire. I honestly think it was the site today.

Thanks Lusty darlin...I'm having a small freak out about my system, so hearing that someone else had the same issue is reassuring, to say the least! I've given up for the day...spending my time signing up for other sites to start split camming instead...
I'll be back on tomorrow though! Long day if I have to make up for today!
Re: HUUUUGE time lag in SM...ideas on how to fix?
I have had similar problems before...Here is a solution that worked:
1. check your upload speed. SM says you need .80 to use the encoder, however IMO it works best with 1.00 or greater
2. Check your CPU usage. It should be no more then 50% ideally should be 25% or lower
3. In the encoder switch the audio setting to 20 kbps. SM recommends 18, however for some people this is what creates the audio lag so you should set it to 20 instead.

I'm glad to know I wasn't alone today with the issue as well. Hate that you had that problem though. See ya tomorrow!

Thank you!!! I read that somewhere before. I think you just solved both of our problems.
<3 Jenni!

Thanks honey!!
My upload is huge, so I'm not concerned about that, and my CPU has never hit higher than 40% - and that's when I'm running bittorrent and youtube and a bunch of other crap while I'm streaming...
But I'll definitely play with the audio settings tomorrow - if 20 fixes it, you are my new hero!!
See you tomorrow Lusty - I'll be on as soon as I can tomorrow. :) As soon as I fix this!!!
