    Default Feed problems

    Ok, so what do you girls think of this? Sometimes I get a lot of 30-40 second guys in a row in my SM chat and a lot of ppl who sign off and then sign back on. They don't do it immediately, like the guys who are just trying to get freebies, but after 10-20 seconds, like maybe they restarted their browser or logged out and logged back on or refreshed their cache. Then when I go to check my earnings I see that my ratings are way down. Like tonight I was having this problem and my rating was 3.67!

    Tonight I noticed a pretty good reg of mine was doing the aforementioned pattern and I asked him what the problem was.

    "screen froze up" he said and then I didn't see him again

    Do you ever have this happen to you? Do you think that maybe when this happens there's some kind of problem with the feed, like slow internet or something and the guys don't know or don't want to tell you and so penalize you for something that's not your fault?

    This is only when they go private? Sounds like they are looking to see just how long they can be there before being charged Someone could have posted a comment in a forum or something about it, and the site was getting a lot of "sample" traffic.

    Honestly, this whole "cam froze/had to restart" stuff is so out of date. I'm sure your frame rate was just fine for the 20 or so minutes they were warming-up before going private, and a few seconds of nip was all they needed ;p

    There was a time when sites charged for the whole first minute regardless, but it's only a matter of time before one of the cam sites has an ad/banner with half-naked cam models and the slogan "your first wank is on us."

    I'm sure others will post there bounce rate stuff, I'm also curious as to the top 5 excuses guys use (if they bother to say anything at all).

    this happens to me too! are you using the encoder? I've never not used it so I'm not sure if that's the cause. I just refresh and login again, and keep doing that until guys stay in my room - I don't know why, but it works!

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me

    @Slab I've seen guys do that before and I block them. This though, is guys who are reliable, who have gone pvt with me before and paid. So, not the type of guys you'd peg for trying to get freebies. I'm saying that some nights it seems like you get a lot of in and outers who rate you down (as opposed to the freebie in and outers who don't tend to rate at all, too busy trying to get a free wank) so maybe that means something else, something they're angry about which = bad ratings.

    @dixie Yeah! I always use the encoder and I'm wondering if maybe sometimes it clogs up the bandwidth pipe or something. b/c it says on the encoder, "if connection slows drop frames" so maybe the guys connection or my connection is slow so it's dropping frames but instead of telling me about it the guys are just leaving and coming back and rating me down for having a shitty connection!

    @isobelwren

    LOVE the new pic, looks more like you I'd try hardwiring, see if the problem is still there, and then contact support sucks they'd rate you bad for connection! strange

    I've heard that a video stream can get a little flaky after a while if there is no audio with it, but it sounds like your describing an issue once a private is started. If everything is fine before the private then I doubt it's an encoding issue. MIGHT be an issue with Streamate and the server your feed is going thru being a bit overloaded, and having issues streaming AND recording at the same time.

    Also, a frozen image is not the same as dropped frames unless you have your bit rate set really low (for normal quality anything under 250kbps) OR if you have your keyframe set really really high (normal vid would be around 80).

    Again, hard to believe guys would see you just fine in free chat but have issues once private was started... I'd recommend going to your live chat as a guest and seeing if the video starts soon after you get there or seems to drag on a bit before connecting.

    WOAH! Sounds like you know a lot about this. I'll try that. Point of clarification, the guys weren't seeing me in free chat b/c I was in one of those long rolling group chat sessions. So I can't say if there were no problems in free b/c nobody saw me in free.

    maybe get your assistant to pop in group for a second next time there are problems? if you do that and get an email to support, at least you're troubleshooting from all angles!
