Streamate Placement // Issues
i was wondering if i was the only person having issues on Streamate...
my problem is I went from being in top 3 rows of my category to floating from row 6-8 which is very bad for my category ( NO TRAFFIC ) . I emailed sm no response. I contacted sm on Twitter and thru dm they told me it was due to me not broadcasting in HD.
im confused. everytime i stream i used Logitech 9000 or c910 . i select HD option thru the platform and include sound and phone.
however when open another browser to view placement. there is no indicator for sound or HD. which is the reasoning for my placement of row 6-8 in my category.
i have tried in chrome and firefox. same results
the only time i can get hd symbol to pop up is using old platform. :(
if any ladies have had this issue or similar please post below... this is messing up my $$$ .
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
I think they meant because your not using the encoder
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
you dont have to use encoder to use broadcast in HD.. and i actually downloaded the "encoder" and still the same issue. my upload is .9 .. the program only requires .6 .. somethings wrong and im convinced its not me
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
You're sure you're talking about Streamate? You have to use the Adobe Encoder and send your video through there (and select the encoder as "my cam" on the streamate site) to get it to stream in HD
Here's the tutorial on streamate. It's really good!

Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
i know to get "true"hd you have to use encoder ... but to just get icon all you need to do is use the 640 x 480 option in the drop menu.. which will give u hd indicator . this worked b4 sm introduced the hd encoder option.
and im actually streaming right now using the encoder and im not getting hd indicator
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
Yeah the drop down HD wont really affect your placement like the encoder does. I've tried it and I'm still a lot further back in placement till I use the encoder The HD thing is kinda deceiving. I used to like to use it because I hated the encoder but t them the drop down HD doesn't count as streaming in HD =(
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
sm fixed it for me now... and now i have to use the encoder :( i hate the extra screen but now im in row 2 instead of 8
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
no idea honestly... bc i had set it up on my own. and was streaming but was still at very bottom of my category with only phone indicator. they told me to printscreen of my settings bc i apparently must have been doing something wrong. but after 20mins of being logged in all 3 indictators of hd/ phone/ sound were showing up and i am now in top 2 rows...
it sucks that i just noticed after 2months. oh well better late than never.
i learned twitter is best method of getting sm attention rather than email
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
Definitely SM always means the encoder when they say HD....although I swear, that damn thing drives me NUTS. Always crashing, freezing, generally being a pain in my (well lubed) ass!!!
Lusty - I saw you (was it today or yesterday? Hmmmm...blurry days) at the bottom of the front page....so I hope that means you managed to get it sorted!
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
I have NEVER had an issue with the encoder. I wonder if people say they're having an issue with the encoder and that means there's a compatibility issue with your computer or internet speed.
Yes, the HD icon is shoddy. Sometimes it takes up to 20 minutes after I start streaming for the icon to show up.

I've never had an issue with the encoder either but my old laptop used to lag while using it.
I agree the HD icon is very shoddy. I used to log out/back in but finally figured out it doesn't do any good. You just have to wait and hope it comes back:-\
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
i wish the encoder was built into the site ..
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
CAN SOMEONE please tell me if i can use the encoder with splitcam and what is the best download if i want to work multiple sites at once?
Re: Streamate Placement // Issues
I had issues with encoder bc it took X amount of hops to reach SM. After all the trouble shooting we finally figured it out. One of those hops was a breaking point.
I had to use the drop down, HD and all and I was on page 2. I struggled with encoder until it was fixed. This woman has money to make. It took more hours and tears but I made it through.
Some issues depend on how far we are from the actual server
