    Hi all, I really love reading this forum but haven't had the ovaries to post until now.

    I was wondering if anyone had some advice for an issue I'm having with streamate? Even though I was just a moment ago streaming on AW with a bitrate of something like 1500kbps (just upgraded my connection to fiberoptic), my streamate ranking page keeps saying I'm streaming at between 550-650 kbps. Any idea of why this happens and why I can't stream at a higher bitrate?

    I'm streaming at HD - High - Wide (without the encoder, my computer can't handle it).

    ETA: It also says I'm streaming without audio even though people can hear me...

    Thank you for the sensible response in a topic that can become contentious. I specialise in fetish and femdom and have always followed the famous phrase coined - I believe - in the 1970s and it goes: "Sane, safe and consensual."

    I have campaigned for free speech and against violence against women and there's nothing that gets me more angry than some man who has committed rape, murder or child abuse blaming pornography or sexually explicit entertainment for their deeds.

    Any human being incapable of distinguishing between incest fantasy and child sexual abuse should NOT be walking the streets a free man/woman.

    First of all, a lot of people who fantasize about incest aren't actually interested in their own family members, but rather the thrill of seduction or possible humiliation, or the secrecy and taboo. We have psychological adaptations that prevent us from becoming attracted to our family members, known as the Westermarck Effect. On the off chance someone is interested in a family member but knows that it's too risky or that their affections won't be returned, I think roleplaying the scenario can help 'get it out of their system'.

    Secondly, while I understand why people are disgusted at the idea of family members being together in a sexual way, assuming it is indeed between consenting adults, it doesn't really fit the standard definition of 'morally wrong', which generally follows the pattern of 'doing something harmful to someone against their will'. Rape, kidnapping, theft, murder, and cons all falls under this umbrella. Incest roleplay, when consented to by all parties, falls quite far from that criteria. How an individual person feels about the matter doesn't really matter; I'm disgusted by corpophilia, and I couldn't be talked into doing it for a million dollars, but if two people want to do it and enjoy it, then there is no issue of ethics. Being grossed out by something =/= that thing being morally wrong.

    I feel like crying.

    I've been logged into SM for two hours now and I'm doing well financially but SO MANY MEN are telling me that my screen is black, or frozen, or lagging, or not syncing with sound. I got given bad feedback from a guy who said I wasn't listening to him, when I was, but the screen was so slow that he thought I was sitting still and not stripping.

    I read the manual - no help

    I emailed SM, but what to do? I'm losing money and clients here and it's not my fault and I don't know what to do.

    No matter ur speeds if u cant use the encoder, only in encoder u can set bitrate according to ur actual speeds (streaming quality), what it says in ranking page is irrelevant, in order to have all parameters read properly u need to stream with the encoder. Maybe u can manage streaming with the encoder still using lower or medium settings?

    OK, what exactly is the Streamate TV broadcast? I tried searching by post here, but I am not finding the answer.
    I read Streamate's page about it, too, but it's still unclear.
    How does it compare to just doing private/exclusive? What is the rate they guarantee you-- just your normal for one person for private, but a bunch of people get to see?
    Pros, cons?

    Last night I made $1.75 in 2 hours. Nobody could stay logged into my free chat area or go private. One of my highest tipping regulars couldn't even tip and after getting dislodged for the 20th time he said screw it. Every other person was complaining about having connectivity issues.

    Start here: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...TV-Star-Launch!

    and here: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...0-TV-GOLD-Show

    Then do a search for "tv gold show". Lots of threads about it, and lots of info in this thread as well.

    I logged on to SM off and on tonight and even using my beastmode PC (some of the highest specs available) I was getting complaints about screen lag, black screens, glitchy audio... Like what. I never have complaints, and after the first I shut down every background program I could, restarted my router and PC, and no improvement. Walked away with a $0.30 tip after 1.5 hours.

    Fuck you SM.

    I think models should swarm support and their twitter and ask your customers to contact support stating that they're having problems. Maybe if even people complain they will finally acknowledge that the site is having issues and fix the dam thing. Because this is seriously beyond ridiculous.

    I wonder if they can fix the issue? Ive told customers to contact support too, but honestly I know they won't. They'll just go to another room that they can access. Bust a nut and then back to their regularly scheduled program. Ive had less issues once I went down from 16:9 ratio and lowered my bitrate. Im down for a flash mob tweet attack though. All at the same time. I'm available at 12:30pm est?

    I still dont understand why they dont introduce the new HD feature already? maybe they really have massive tech. issues? I got the email from kink.com saying they will announce middle august who the business partner is & the procedure for the transition. I wonder if SM 'get's together' with kink & implement the new HD feature then?

    ETA: all my shows today ended in a weird way like they all had problems staying, just now a guy was in exclusive in a cam2cam session & after a while he wont type anymore, his cam was frozen then after i asked him if he's with me still, typed to him also... no answer for a few secs then he's gone. WTF SM!!?? I dont even know what picture size & bit rate to use anymore to be able to stream properly and keep my members connected, arrghh!!

    I had a basically 0$ shift on Sm last night. Had tons of people in and out of my room. A guy I have done a show with before try to take me excl. several times but unable to see or hear me. his is ridiculous. I am looking at another big box site today. it's so frustrating to be doing everything within your control and the problems is OBVIOUSLY he site and they are telling you NOPE,it's not us. Yes, yes it is.They have to be noticing a reflection in earnings.

    Lots of issues today caused me to log off.....lots of customers are complaining that they can't see me.....they just see a black box and my video never loads....they check other girls and can see them, but not me. Finally had to log off and on again for the customer to actually see me and get a show...

    Traffic was better today, but last night it was like totally dead....don't understand it.

    Today was pretty good for me but I did have a few guys who either tried to go exclusive but couldn't, or complained that they weren't able to see me. I checked my feed and things were crisp and clear on my end. Most likely they were mobile customers. I hate when that happens but what can you do?

    ^^My day was the same. I did have a couple of disconnections but I'm never sure if that is my codex cable. It seems to be loose and sometimes when I move my computer or the table it disconnects. Does anyone know how to secure a codex cable that is loose in its fitting?

    I think if I use electric tape it will just fall off the computer, especially when it heats up. But I might give it a try. I hope it doesnt leave sticky goo on my laptop!

    Ahh ok, i did not know on which side of the wire the problem is plus did not know u use a laptop, it makes sense to worry it'll fall off when overheated, i worked with a laptop and dont like them for camming, they tend to get very hot. I prefer a desktop pc for this reason. Good luck whatever u decide to do xx

    I have the same problem with my computer (cause I dropped it on its side when the cable was in it and now the internet hole is... loose). I tape it in with clear plastic tape and it doesn't totally sort the problem out but it makes it better. Masking tape was ok too. If the problem is with the cable you could buy a new one, otherwise you could probably get the ... internet hole ... fixed if you can afford to be without the computer for a few days ( :// )

    I too have the same issue sometimes. It's like my computer's outlet rejects the cable. I spent like $30 for a 100 ft ethernet cable, too. It's been good lately but you can try tilting it or sticking it in at an angle. That sounded dirty
