    Default Was Streamate acting up for anybody else tonight?

    Ugh I swear I hate it when cam sites act like crap!! I use the HD encoder and the damn site gave me an error 3 different times in the middle of long shows! I don't know how much money I lost but it really sucks, like really! I think something screwy was going on because it kept getting really dead in my room so I would log out of the encoder and back in and traffic would be booming again.

    So annoying. I just barely made my goal and the damn thing kicked me off again in the middle of another exclusive...argh!

    Yes i was in the middle of a show and the guy was typing but not frequently and then he just stopped typing for a while or so i thought so i just kept the show up for like another 7 minutes all the while trying to get him to talk because i still saw his screename there under paid chat but i was disconnected and i did not even know. like it did not end him out of the session or i didnt get the 30 second count down but i was alone.it was weird. sux!

    tonight was my first night using the encoder and I got a lot more traffic but not enough paying customers! hopefully it'll pick up since I'm planning on being a lot more consistent with my camming now that I have my HD webcam and the encoder all set up

    Yep that same thing was happening to me in free chat. Everybody would leave and I would be like WTF and when I looked at the screen the little green "start my show" button would be there! It was so annoying! First time I have ever had problems on that site, hope they don't continue.

    Honestly I don't notice much of a different between the HD option from the drop down box and the encoder...traffic seems about the same to me. Although maybe I am getting a higher placement now because I finally had 20+ people in my room tonight when I used to just have 13 or so.

    /\ /\ I need to try the regular HD option to see if I notice a difference. I like the encoder and all, but it's just a few extra steps that I'd rather not use, plus it makes splitcamming harder if I wanted to do that.

    I had a couple of probs last night too. I actually had a couple of guys who seemed to get 'locked in' to my exclusive chat when I'd finished my show for them and also had some probs with text not shoing up in free chat for ages then all coming at once!

    I didn't experience the text thing...just cutting me off in the middle of exclusives! That has got to be the worse...I sit there wondering how much money I lost from SM's screw up!

    I was having problems too, but couldn't tell if it was the site or my Sprint data card being a dick again.

    I had similar issues....I actually banned a guy (maybe mistakenly) as he kept logging off and on and off every time my room got crowded and would log out of paid chat after the 30 second cutoff.....just thought it was a hater trying to get rid of my prospects...

    I wasn't on that night. I don't like the new chat layout so I use the old one. Maybe it uses more bandwidth, not sure, but I get that I'm lagging when using the new one.

    how do you go to old version of chat? and also I have yet to see a phone add on anywhere, I thought you just called them from a blocked number, do they assign a generic number like niteflirt?? I see where it says add phone number but what number are they talking about? A prepaid phone, sorry for being so idiotic, I really dont know as I am new

    you can add any phone number. i use my regular cell phone that i use for everything (it's a prepaid phone and i've never had any problems). they make it so the number the customer calls/sees isn't yours so it's secure. once you've got a phone number added, when you go to "start my show" under where you see your cam it gives you the option of accepting phone calls (you can start accepting phone calls anytime while you're streaming and you can pick between different numbers that you've added).

    all the way at the bottom of the streaming page there is a link that says "Click here to go to the old streaming page (Note: This will disconnect you if you are streaming!)"

    hope this helps.

    i really hate that fn encoder.....everyone clicks on and off like five times...and the ones in the room keep complaining, first no sound, second camara lagging, jus non stop complaints.....I have every setting exactly like it says in the encoding example page, and when I try to use my logitec cam now with the HD dropdown it says I dont have an HD cam, and the screen is much smaller, dont know wtf to do as I have done nothing but waste my time so far, and I have a brand new laptop and cam with dual processor ect, I am starting to think its just the site and its pissing me off big time

    Hows SM going for everyone today? I got cut off a few times during a private, and even tried doing HD instead of the encoder.... But discovered it did reduce me traffic to not use the encoder (Might not be the case for everyone). Then, I signed back on, used the encoder again and suddenly it got busy for me today like crazy, on a Saturday no less. It was almost like switching back and forth that one time was helpful.

    It really annoys me sometimes when I begin with HD and it automatically "downgrades" my stream quality to the next best thing. I have a HD webcam and a good internet connection (I haven't been splitting my cam), but those moments when the 'net wants to act up that's when I see that "HD Video" logo (at the top of my webcam box) disappear, and it changes to a different quality.

    It has not been kind to me the last few days. Ok, I shouldn't complain, I mean $40/hour is still good but that's the slowest I've been since I started working there . I normally use the encoder, and I was 3rd row down on 1st page today and it was still slower than usual for me. Everyone was picking group too even though I was telling guys to pick Exclusive. I even lowered my exclusive rate a little bit. As soon as I switched off the encoder and just went normal, I got a nice long exclusive. It's hit or miss sometimes with that thing.

    I have a Logitech 910 and unless I change my video quality to the highest on there (manually in camera settings) I get the pop up that says camera must support" 680X whatever"... and my camera is set to at least that, but it will only dispaly the HD setting if I manually jack the camera settings up to 1200 X 800 or whatever the highest is..then it slows down and my head takes up the whole viewer, which I don't like either.
