    SM said they'll announce us when these settings will count for placement but nothing was said anymore about it, i think they forgot about this detail LOL, i wish to know this myself cause using these last settings wont allow me to splitcam.
    I tested things around, streamed with these HD720 settings & with lower settings like 1024x576 and there was not a significant difference in placement but maybe changing from lower settings to the highest ones will make a difference.

    So, I went and checked my rankings. I was at the bottom of the online listing. I think it's due to using OBS. I went and tried Adobe Live Encoder and then I was to the top row in my category. Then I tried SMBroadcaster and that also puts me in top row, same spot.

    I could have sworn there was no ranking penalty for using OBS the last time I checked. Is this something new now? Is SM pentalizing OBS streamers?

    My OBS settings are pretty much the same or similar to Adobe's settings: 800kbps, 1280x720, 30fps.

    I use Adobe Encoder & never used anything else as they did not give me the SM broadcaster here so cant help you with this but one thing i wanna tell u, the 800 bit rate u use is too low, u supposed to use 2000 or at least 1500 bit rate with these settings in order to properly stream in true HD (HD720).

    Is anyone else seeing their bitrate jumping around like mad in the encoder, like from 400 to 1200 kbps? My normal bitrate usually goes between 1000-1400 and sometimes it stabilizes at that but the rest of the time it jumps around. The thing is, my room looks totally fine, no different from normal. I have like 4mb/s upload speed at a conservative estimate so it shouldn't be doing this.

    It does affect my ranking, though...

    I've been experiencing this for the past few weeks, on and off.

    Needless to say my FPS is shot to shit too, even though I look fine on the actual site.

    I asked up thread if anyone else notice the lagging on the site. Just wanted to know if it was on my end. But I too have seen my bitrate jump around. And the round trip time is much higher. I tried in obs and adobe. Just counted upwards of 50 guys come in and out of my room. I asked if I was freezing and not one of them responded. If it's gonna be like this I gotta switch some stuff up and run to the store for some "supplies"

    At least once per shift my bitrate drops from 2000 to 1000 something then back up, AT LEAST!, must be a 'strangled' node somewhere between my location & SM servers. I dont have enough space on my screen to keep the logs section open in encoder so i set just to the picture to be seen but time to time i look up and see a list of bit rate re-adjusting entries, it's not noticeable here cause it's not dropping under 1000 but still, maybe it's affecting my stream if seen from member side.

    Is anyone else having trouble with the encoder today? I changed my settings from 864x480 to 1280x720 and it seemed to be working fine but then I took an hour break. When I came back my computer was froze. I restarted my pc and then went back to 864x480. When I hit start my show, I am not getting the settings to paste into the encoder....then I get a box that pops up with this message???"" A system error occurred, please contact support if the problem persists.""

    Is this happening to anyone else?

    I've honestly noticed creeping girls using OBS and seeing their stream messed up. Words not matching to their picture, you hear them speak, then their lips move etc. did anyone ever confirm if OBS was supported to use to stream on Streamate with support? Because what I've seen from my own personal creeping, and from trying it out, I had a huge 30-45 second delay worse than the typical delay with the encoder... Maybe it isn't supported and that's why you're noticing the diff in placement with smbroadcaster and fmle vs OBS. Just cause it works and you can log in with it doesn't mean it WORKS, you know? Shame too, I like the image quality better on obs then fmle, but I get the best results with fmle cause I don't have the broadcaster currently.

    FYI to anyone questioning whether your bitrate changing or streaming problems lie with your ISP or Streamate, open a command window and type in:

    Ping 8.8.8.8 -t

    Or

    Ping google.com -t

    As long as you're not seeing any 'request time out' then there should be no issues with your ISP. If you are seeing the request time out, try to reboot your modem or router, and try again. And if you are still seeing a request time out, then you need to call your ISP cause there is an issue with your connection. Also keep an eye on the MS, you don't want it to be like 345275ms, that also indicates an issue with your ISP. When I ping 8.8.8.8 I have 16-24ms and if I do it while streaming it does NOT change, the only time it goes crazy high is if I run a Ping test while doing a speed test because of the lag in bandwith while doing a speedtest, hopefully this helps some people. A neat trick I learnt from my ISP tech while he was at my house 4x trying to fix my net, lol.

    What settings are you using? What are your computer specs? The dropped frames issue could be an issue with the encoder and or equipment, and fmle likes to randomly drop frames for no reason, what %cpu are you using while streaming? Are you split camming? Now I sound like support.... Lol, but I will honestly answer back without a wall of automatic responses

    Dropped frames are never a good thing. If you are dropping frames your cam is freezing on your customers side which is also a loss of income.

    Personally for me, when i have all good settings, no dropped frames, no crazy bit rate and everything is perfect, and then the mobile guys can't see me, that's when I'm getting pissed, because I finally got all of MY quirks fixed and I can't help this one. Too many of my regs use mobile, and too many of them are too lazy to install the correct app to use to view cams on Streamate, so I just wave to the money goodbye when mobile is acting crappier than normal. Not much else i can do.

    If you check your profile and audio isn't listed, when you view your profile via Streamate.com then yes, your placement does get affected.

    Beware of user HermosoDios today, takes you exclusive under the premise of rating his dick on c2c then bails right after you open his cam before the 30 sec mark, thus you see his cock but get nothing. Usually I stall until 30 sec in before accepting c2c but I was desperate for some action today and made a mistake. Never again!

    I've had him plenty too. I caught him, but just barely, so yes--he IS a repeat offender. Still got my $7.49 out of him, but only by like 1 second.

    Is there a thread like this just talking about customers? Or should we not mention them in case they see this and they change their name?

    Also, why did the site shut down again today???
