    ^^Yeah, it was driving me absolutely crazy and halving my income. I logged on last night with my sound synced and made my normal hourly.
    I honestly thought I was having the worst slump of my camming career and now I feel like an idiot because it was all due to a technical issue I should've fixed far sooner.

    Seems like a struggle tonight for most top ladies...

    SO discouraging.

    Going to log on anyway tho... maybe things will look up.
    "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"

    UGH. Earlier half of the day was great for me, and then it starts glitching so bad. Sound not syncing for half the guys, no video for some of them. Lagging really bad for some of them. Everyone kept having to refresh every couple of minutes. I couldn't deal with it anymore and had to call it a night.

    Hey all,
    I've been away for a bit. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I wanted to ask (mostly to bbw models) which other camsites are good for you besides SM? I'm going back to caming and would like to split cam since I got a damn good computer and net. Thanks to all!

    This is my first post. The "Streamate Thread" caught my attention as that's mostly where I cam at. Ivy's post sums up exactly how I feel about stream all the time. I have top of the line equipment and amazing internet. There are ALWAYS technical issues.

    I used to do gold shows all the time. But anymore... it's hardly worth it. Half the time I get kicked off and lose everything.

    What all can I do to improve my bitrate? Right now all my scores are at excellent except for my bitrate and rtt (which I know there is nothing that I can do about my rtt). My bitrate usually stays around 533 and my grade is good but I want to get it higher or to excellent? My upload speed is 4 but I have an older router and I'm wondering if that could be part of the problem? Also my router is on the other side of the house (not sure if that has any affect or not)? My router is a netgear N300 Wireless router ( but I have my laptop wired to the router). Also my router is 4 or 5 years old probably I'm not sure what kind of cable I'm using tho but I'd seen something about upgrading the cable too but I can't remember what kind it was

    Should I upgrade my upload speed tho? If so what do I need to upgrade to? Other than that what else should I do to get my bitrate improved or to excellent?


    I called my cable company that I have my internet thru and it looks like the faster upload they offer is a speed of 5 upload I have 4 upload now. Its going to cost me $199 upfront for them to upgrade me and then $60 more a month for my internet making my bill $110 a month. Would upgrading to just 5 upload improve bitrate? I'd like to get my bitrate to 750 or more

    Here's my pc specs too:

    HP ENVY 17-j100 Notebook PC series


    My processor is : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHZ 2.40 GHZ

    Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB

    64-bit operating system, x64 based processor

    Which settings are you running at? Can you send me a copy of your encoder settings while you are streaming? Like this:

    encoderbitratefps.JPG

    I'd like to see the boxes where it shows your FPS/bitrate while streaming if you could
    4 upload should be sufficient to run the new settings, I mean I have a bitrate of 1450 overall and I use the new settings and I stream at a solid 2000 bitrate while online.

    What upload speed do you have? Are you saying that your bitrate score on the ranking page is 1450?

    I've been using 864x480 with 800 bitrate but I took this screen shot with the new settings of 1280x720 and 2000 bitrate. I guess I really should start using the higher settings I wonder if the reason I'm not seeing my bitrate score go up because I've been using the lower settings of 864x480? Or would me upgrading my upload speed to 5 help improve my bitrate speed? I really would like to get that to excellent if possible.

    You will never get a bitrate higher than 800 because you've set it to 800. It will never go above that for that reason. So if you set it to 2000 it will read 2000 and under. Most of the time your reading will be less than what you set it for. The highest setting is 1280x720 bitrate 2000. Your current upload speed is more than enough to handle this. Unless you plan on splitcamming then you dont need to upgrade anything. Maybe if you replace your router or cables things will get better. But honestly many of us have brand new equipment and internet. All new hardware and the site is still low on traffic. One has nothing to do with the other. If you're gonna spend more money make sure its gonna give you a return. Splitcam

    The bitrate that I'm talking about that I'm trying to improve is the one shown in this screen shot from the ranking page. Mine usually stays around 533 but I'm trying to get it to 750 or higher so my score will be excellent. I finally got all my other scores to excellent except for my bitrate. I know there is nothing I can do about my rtt tho.

    Mine is 20 upload, but that doesn't matter, all you HAVE to have to run the newest 720hd settings is 3 UL, so 4 is fine, and I absolutely cosign with what Phat says. I just suggest using the newest settings if you have the eq and the UL for it, which you do, because eventually these settings will have placement priority, and it gives you a nice crystal clear image vs the legacy settings.

    Ahhh I thought you were getting something closer to 800. Anyways you upload speed is not the only factor when getting a high bitrate. It could be the quality of your equipment. When's the last time you changed out your webcam? What webcam are you using? How is your lighting? Maybe you can add some filler lights behind you? It could be something so small. I recently got a new c920 and my bitrate went back up. On my old webcam it was always around 800 eventhough it was set to 2000. Now its at 1500

    And yes, mine on the ranking page is 1450. When I used to use the legacy settings I would sit around 750 on the ranking page. Don't pay an obscene amount of money to go for 4 to 5 UL, just start using the new settings and see how it goes

    Also to add to that as long as your rtt isn't below average, I wouldn't be concerned. Mine goes from average, to good to excellent, and normally stays within the good or excellent range.

    My cam is a Logitech 920c and I have recessed lighting in my room so I should have plenty of light I hope But webcam cutie was asking me about the settings in the encoder and I was telling her that I was using 864x480 with 800 bitrate but I guess I will be switching to the higher settings of 1280x720 with 200 bitrate. But its my bitrate score on my ranking pg that I am trying to improve.

    Thank you I will just start using the new settings and see if my score starts going up I'd seen a post in this thread somewhere that your upload speed was what affected your bitrate so that's why I was thinking that

    My rtt time usually stays around average to good but I've never seen it at excellent. It has fell to below average a few times tho but I have no idea why What affects our rtt?

    As far as I'm understanding it's mainly your distance from the server to the site and what your ping times from your ISP and stuff are and how long it takes for your stream to go to the server which would be based on distance and ping... and I'll tell you honestly, I don't notice a difference when I'm at excellent, good, or average to be honest, only when I go to below average or if I have a round trip time of like 3000 like I'm camming from Mars or something that I really notice any difference or get any complaints from customers, so I really wouldn't worry about that at all. Sometimes if I fall below average and stay that way after about 5-10 mins then I'll just reboot my stream and it'll fix itself most times.

    Anyone else get a notice telling them to update their ID? It said my ID was expired, but it wasn't. It still let me stream but told me to update it in the next few weeks. I updated it right away, but after I updated it, now my account says I can't stream until they get around to looking at it, so it could be 5 business days! Don't understand why i could stream until I updated, then they are gonna block me from streaming....

Don't understand why i could stream until I updated, then they are gonna block me from streaming....
    Same thing happened to me. I just emailed support and told them my ID wasn't expired and they needed to look at my documents again. They emailed me back and apologized for their error and removed the warning.
