    Vanessa (she works with Streamate) recently made a helpful video tutorial on setting up the encoder. Hope this helps!

    I was having an issue with trying to stream earlier. I wrote it off to me logging on and off. It seems to be working for now.

    You might want to uninstall your encoder and install it again. It sounds like you may have the wrong version or it could be corrupted.

    I have an issue that maybe someone can explain...

    When I cam at night-- the encoder works PERFECTLY for me... no issues, no problems.

    When I cam during the day-- I will have to log in and out no fewer than 4 times due to the encoder losing connection--- DAFUQ?

    The encoder option doesn't even show up in the dropdown list of cam quality choices to use. Did they remove it from the list? Must be having some issues if that's the case!

    I'm curious to know what's so great about encoder. I used encoder and found myself getting disconnected a lot. When I just stick to my Logitech, I rarely lose connection.

    reasons i want to get the encoder to work is so i can be accepted to do goldshows. I dont see the big thing in it other wise but apparently it brings more guys into your room. Iv only worked on sm a few times so i wouldnt know the difference as never used the encoder before :L

    Using the encoder allows SM to put the bandwidth responsibility onto you instead of their servers, which they in turn (in theory) reward with better placement. Also, in theory, the site should run more smoothly when more models use the encoder. Some models have had decent luck with not using it, but SM pushes it because it saves them money and utilizes your resources instead of theirs. I think it's a reasonable expectation; however, it would be more reasonable if they were able to keep the site working properly after requiring so much of the models.

    When I run the encoder--- I am generally somewhere on the middle to bottom of page 1. If I don't run it.. I can be as far down as page 4 or 5 depending on the day.

    So for me.. its worth it to run the encoder..just a pain in the ass sometimes.

    The encoder is pretty much the only thing I 100% hate about camming.

    Fine

    Default Re: Problems getting encoder to work on sm driving me mad!!

    If I use the encoder I am on page one or two. If I don't use it I am on page 12 or 13. True story. Sucks but I really have to use it or my traffic is worse then what it already is !

    Problem? Uninstall, reinstall as mentioned, or sometimes a simple reboot with fix, or refresh the page, log in, log out, etc...
