    Btw, how are you girls doing with the SMBroadcast these days?

    I was loving it in the beginning because my video quality was so good (too good that I had to wear extra make up to cover imperfections, they got more evident with it) and it was so easy to operate. My bitrate score on the ranking tool was increasing consistently. They have four levels in their calibration rank: good, high, very high and best. Since my computer system and my internet are pretty good, the calibration results were always classified as "best" in the beginning.

    But then since 3 weeks ago it started to calibrate just as "high" or even just "good", don't know why. I might send them a feedback about that soon.

    Bottom line is.... I'm back using the Adobe Encoder with the new recommended settings, which work pretty awesome for me.

    What about you girls? Still using the SM Broadcast?

    Same experience here. I loved the one click and online, loved the way my feed looked but now it's a pixelated mess. I'm not using it any more. I think they changed something because it was working fine and I have good equipment and connection speeds. Not willing to take a hit to my paycheck to test it out any longer.

    The encoder with the newer settings works great for me so sticking with that.

    I know, right? I knew it wasn't me because my equipment and internet connection are pretty good as I said. And I don't ever run anything else apart from SM's streaming page and the broadcast application (SM's or Adobe). Nothing has changed on my side but still, my SMBroadcast results went down the hill. Not willing to keep on trying.

    I'm also sticking to the Adobe Encoder with the newer settings.

    Today was good. Finally. Between the site's issues and my crying all the time 'cause I got dumped it was getting pretty hopeless for me.

    Turns out a nice subby picture brings right kind of guys to my room. YAY! I didn't break any records, but I finally made minimum goal. And didn't cry. Not even when it was requested XP

    I quit using the OBS, 'cause it looked like it worsened my placement. Now I'm back to the FMLE but I'm forced to use it without the preview! Otherwise it crashes instantly. Guys were very understanding when I told them to tell me if I'm out of the frame, tough. I WANT THE BROADCASTER! Please, SM, hurry up.

    so there was just a user in my guest chat with this name Guest_(some numbers) but the name was in GREEN not black. Does anyone know what that is? Maybe someone from SM???

    The name in green means they are viewing you from your cammodels link. They are definitely a customer you want!

    I thought green means someone from an external chatroom was on your site? Anytime a guy from my CM link comes in they have the same font as everyone else but I now tag all of my cm guys so I'll know when they pop into my room.

    Thats what Liz told me, so i'm pretty sure youre right.
    "And since we all came from a woman
    Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
    I wonder why we take from our women
    Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
    I think it's time to kill for our women
    Time to heal our women, be real to our women"

    It means they are viewing from an external platform. Users that are signed up to my website and viewing through my website will show as "green" names. If you don't have an external website platform connected to your Streamate account then the green user is a hacker and trying to view your private shows for free. As long as you don't enable your "external" show to on then you should be okay. SM is aware of this and haven't done anything to fix it yet.

    I've complained on here numerous times in the past few weeks, but I'm still having problems. So my sound is coming in before my video does. My internet is 60 down/6 up which is the best I can get where I live. I've tested that on numerous sites and that's what I get every time. I got an ethernet cord (cat 7) in the hopes that would fix it, but it doesn't. When I do skype shows, videos, or use SM without the encoder, my sound matches with my face. I've tried upping and lowering my bitrate, upping and lowering my frame rate. Same issue every time. My placement drops horribly without the encoder and my feed looks like shit, which is why I don't want to use the HD wide settings.
    Anyone else have any suggestions? Because at this point I no longer think it's on my side and this is heavily affecting my earnings and giving me anxiety about going on cam.

    Maybe it's your cam or router? Not sure how old they are but we do need to replace ours way sooner than people that don't use it so much.

    Router is brand new and I've tried two different Logitech c920s. Both are about a year old :/

    A year old is like 5 years old in cam years, lol! You can try getting new ones from best buy to see if that would fix your issues. If it doesn't then you can always return but it's worth a try

    When you plug both c920s in at the same time, do both show up in your encoder drop down list? You might try using c920A for video and c920B for audio to see if that helps. No promises, but using a separate mic can help a lot at times!

    So I was finally able to get my sound to sync by using my cam and my internal microphone. It doesn't work using either Logitech microphones, so yeah, I think both of my cams fucked up at the same time, as weird as that is. At least I know the source now! Thanks! Now I feel sort of stupid and wish I'd thought of this before. I think I'll buy a snowball microphone in addition to a new cam just to be safe.

    I personally try not to get too into my shows. Once or twice I haven't heard the log out noise for pvt and realized I'm about to go into the free chat area in 3 sec!! I get really paranoid if the guy isn't a talker. I also keep an eye on my guest chat and to see if its filling up because then I'm definitely in free chat

    I was a bit mistaken about the cammodels thing. All the information about that is here though: http://streamatehelp.com/cammodels/

    TLR if a guy signs up through your cammodels link, you earn extra money. Always promote yourself with [YourName].cammodels.com

    I've had so many issues crop up in the last few months with cams that I totally feel you. My last issue in bitrate/disconnect issues looked to be a cam issue until I bought a new one and realized 'oh, no, it's my ISP dropping out for a split second every few minutes that's dropping me.' Three months later, that hasn't been fixed and I'm looking into an office space with a reliable provider I've used before. Because fucking idiots...

    While there's nothing much we can do about the Round Trip Time, I believe that Bitrate has more to do with the upload speed than anything else on the ranking tool stats. It seems to be an average of your bitrate values over a certain period of time. I don't exactly what you can do, but I'll tell you what happened to me.

    When the ranking tool first showed up, my internet speed was inferior than the one I have now. My bitrate was just like yours, around 500. Then I upgraded to 10Mb upload and it started to grow little by little, like 1 point or 2 max everytime after each cam session. Then I upgraded again. Now I have 30Mb upload. It continued growing just a little every time. But now, with the Adobe Encoder newer recommend settings, that seems to be making the best of my internet speed, my bitrate is growing a lot faster, like 5 to 7 points each shift.

    Now it is around 720, 30 points away from excellent. I believe if I keep on having that performance I'll pass 750 and have excellent in a week or so. That will make a good average over the time for, if some day, I have to cam with an upload speed that is not so good as the one I have now.

    I feel like MAYBE that might be my issue.
    People were complaining about my feed, saying it was like "a bad japanese movie" cause the sync issue.

    Maybe im due for an upgrade =[
