I read that not having enough lighting can cause lag.. I dunno? I think I have have this cam for 4 yrs now.. maybe less. could be 3 don't remember. Camera in the background? what do you mean?
WOW 4 years? is it a Logitech c920? I have to change mine once a year. Maybe even more? The quality depreciates over time and may be a subtle change that can mean a lot. Especially on SM. One of my C920 webcams only gets a bitrate of 800 on SM and the SM Broadcaster read it as moderate and wanted me to recalibrate. So nope I hooked up my newer C920 from last summber and got Very High bitrate 3000's and 1600x896 never heard of that resolution but thats what it gave me.
As for camera in the background I meant to say put a lamp in the background for filler lights. Just make sure its not blinding light. Something with a shade on it will do.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Anyone else getting booted off the encoder & having their fps drop during privates nonfuckingstop today? All of my exclusives keep getting dropped after 2ish minutes and the encoder keeps randomly crashing in free chat. I'm pretty sure it's not a tech issue on my end, so I'm getting royally pissed at this point.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
As a foot note if you view on mobile the delay is high anyway like 5-9 seconds. On pc no delay at all.
1600x896 give it a Google you will be surprised how higb quality an image is.
I have been avoiding that setting but its just under 1080p Streamate only requires 720p.
Also since the i7 seams to be the be all and end all. Virtual realty amd is way ahead of Intel in this area. And windows 10 actually make use of all 8 cores now and multi core gpu ☺ when directx 12 comes out. Cheaper cheaper and cheaper for cam

My encoder crashed in free chat earlier. Not having any issues with staying in pvt/exclusive...yet.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Windows 10 will free up some resources however if your windows 7 works fine why bother.
1600x setting is extremely high try the 720p 600 settings as they still higb quality but will place less stress on the cpu

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
You mean the 720 HD settings SM recommends? that's what I have been using and only recently had a problem.. I was really liking the 1600x settings.. but it's using way to much for my computer.. damn and this thing I just got in January.. gaming pc.. not gaming enough!.. maybe I should go to windows 10.. I am familiar with it as I use it on my laptop.. just don't like it as much.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Worked 2 hrs on SM and less than 4 dollars, feel like crying. Went on for another hour to see if anything improved and nothing did. I even offered a special on my rates. No takers. :( Went back on for another hour or so shift and it was worse than the last 3. Is some weeks just not your week? Last week I did the best I ever did on the site. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

don't hate yourself. there were almost 2k models on today during the day shift. that is an insane amount of models, god knows how we were looking to customers. i got the feeling not a lot of folks could see me when it reached 1900...just lots of in and outs.

I had a lot of guys complaining they could hear me but not see me. I re-connected 5 or 6 times and that fixed it. For a while. Then it started happening again. At this point I literally use SM to amuse myself while I wait for shows on other sites. I used to make my whole daily goal on SM, today I made $12. Glad I have other sites or I'd be up shit creek.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Crickets tonight and plagued with video bitrate resets on FMLE. Taking the night off after a guy started freaking out i wasnt naked by 2 mins into the show.
"DO IT, DON'T MAKE ME WAIT! TAKE IT OFF NOW!!!"
I blocked him and signed off. My shows keep getting shorter tonight to the point i'm just getting peepers crashing my freechat and leaving before the show actually $tarts.
Gooooodnight SM!

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Some "guy" came into my room today and had his response on what he wanted pretty quick (copy/pasted type thing). I was smiling, happy and did what was asked. The asshat rated me 2 stars after 2 mins. Seems kinda fishy why not a 1 star? Well because 1 stars are easily removed. Once this rating posted to my profile, my placement TANKED. I kid you not. Middle of page 1 to page 2. I can't redeem myself. I'm so quitting camming this year. I can't take this shit anymore. Exit plan in effect through summer 2016. I'm out and done with competing for pennies. I deserve better than this. I'm smarter than this. I'm sooooo much better than this. (Holding back tears). I have a family to feed and I don't play around like that.

You are not alone. I split 4 sites yesterday, guess which one I earned the least on?????? STREAMATE. I use to make my whole goal on SM as well, yesterday I only made $10 on there. I will be working 4 or more sites from now on to ensure that I make my daily goal. If I didn't start split-camming again I dunna wtf I'd do.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Today I tried to do my very first show, but Streamate said it couldn't find my camera! :(
I have been using this webcam for years and in fact only just used it about 2 hours prior. It's plugged in, connected fine and works when I try it out in its own window. It just won't be "found" on Streamate for some reason.
How do I fix this frustrating situation and get the cam to somehow connect to Streamate? I have been looking through the troubleshooting area, but it only says to make sure my camera is connected properly. It obviously is if I can see myself in it and record etc at the same time it won't be found on Streamate! :(
Thank you!

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Waste of time last night was. 30 guys at one point in my room and only $15 in 3hours.
I noticed that SM has updated alot of the site and it was silky smooth last night no blips just loads and loads of wont talk traffic. Because hey guys dont have debit cards they think they need credit cards. Shit pre pay debit cards would be something.
Felicity
Unplug your webcam. Are you using the website or the SM broadcast?
If you use the website there is normally a box for flash that opens asing for permission to use the cam and mic. You need to set to allow.
If SM broadcast. after you log into it you need to click the cog for options and select the cam from the dropdown box.
Make sure you have the most upto date drivers for your cam.
Adobe encoder I have never tried.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Thank you Selena!! I'll try that tomorrow. Have to stop now as my partner's coming home soon.
I was using the website, not SM broadcast. I did try that option (along with all the others), but nothing happened.
I have allowed all the device things the flash box asked me to.

When you say gaming pc. What are the actual specs?
I7 can be a multitude of different things.
2gig / 3gig / 4gig. 2 core 4 core 6 core 8 core?
I prefer amd myself windows 10 really makes use of the amd stuff and they have literally just come into their own now multicore stuff is working to use all the cores.
For example my £50 amd athlon x4 860k. Is as fast as an i5 that costs £200. Which was the cost of my entire cam pc. Yet it streams fine at 35-40% cpu at 720p best setting. ( I think the poor / good / high / very high / best is down to lighting)
You cant beat a parts put together pc. As turbo settings and what not. However you also cant beat the ease of use a brandname pc has for re setting should something go wrong.
If you try msconfig.exe. And Google how to use it you can shut off any start up tasks and stuff that might be clogging the cpu up ( background tasks)
But I am not joking I use a £200 pc. Made out of Amazon sale parts. It streams fine and I get good listings. I only have zonealarm firewall avg antivirus and adaware malware running in the back ground.
Its the paying traffic I struggle with cheap bastards.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
today my fps keeps dropping into the red and then after about a minute of that i get disconnected from sm broadcast..... my kbps remains 3k+ after it disconnects it goes back to 30fps so i reconnect and get about 5 mins before the same thing happens.... any ideas?

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
^^^ On my last shift on wednesday i got online with the SM Broadcaster and after 2 mins of streaming i got disconnected, i signed back in with the Adobe Encoder and was able to stay connected the whole shift & also got an old regular into exclusive that i knew he was using his mobile, he always does as he hides from his wife lol, this regular emailed me the other day telling me he misses me & he cant connect to my room for some reason.
Then when i got disconnected from SMB it came to my mind my regular message and decided to get on with the FMLE and it was good decision cause right away this guy came into exclusive and stayed connected for over 30 mins w.o a problem. No more SMB till they make that thing work properly!

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I can't even get logged on to SM. I keep getting that email/pw don't work. Reset the PW and try both copying and pasting my email/new pw and typing them in and I keep getting nothing. I keep getting that MFC is down too so I guess I'm just getting on the phone today...after spending my time getting make up on.
