    Default Streamate has switched to Widescreen

    Hey girls, I was wondering if any one else feels like SM made a stupid decision when they decided to switch to widescreen? I noticed that now when I stream in widescreen I can't show my entire body unless I am ridiculously far from my cam. Its like I can show my face or my breasts and torso. It was driving me crazy so I switched back yesterday and my earnings returned to normal after 2 days of short privates because the men could not see me correctly. Sorry for the rant but I just wanted to know if anyone else felt this way because I feel so alone. Have a great day everyone

    I think the widescreen conversation starts on page 193 of the Streamate Thread.

    https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...Thread/page193

    I think the general consensus is that most of us don't like the new settings...?
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    It's one of those uncomfortable situations where you're forced to adapt, or fall behind.

    I hate it, I cannot longer do one of my best positions because my head gets chopped off now. However, streaming without this new setting means I end up somewhere on page 4 rather than like ROW 4... so, yeah, whatever, I love it, lol.

    Whatever helps keep me at "the cutting edge" of whatever SM want to do which means I continue to enjoy 1st page placement and great earnings, I'll continue to lap up. If it means I cannot any longer do as I did before regarding positions, I'll just try to use it to my advantage in different ways. Who knows? Maybe it'll give way to even better positions once I get used to it and know how to work it.

    I was wondering if this would effect ratings on the site. I was too lazy to do a new encoder profile this week with the new settings. Kinda regret it now; my room was so dead for a Saturday.. ugh traffic was like half the normal. I guess I know what I'm doing tonight!

    Has anyone that has tried out the wide screen settings gotten feed back from the members?

    I don't like it, doesn't work well with my comp maybe when I get a new comp it will be ok. There are plenty of better widescreen ratios they couldve chosen to be the new settings though

    I hate the new widescreen. I have a brand new Mac and the streaming is still shit. The lag is terrible and is pissing off custies. Can anyone send me the encoder settingx before the fabulous widescreen update. I want to reset and go back, but my Mac did not save them. Thanks!

    Some popular SM models had posted on Twitter that they can't stand the new Widescreen setting, and some of them said that they're just gonna stick to the old setting instead.

    I'm also using the C920 with the widescreen settings, and I haven't had any issues so far. I think it looks clearer now, actually! I did a manual config and followed the recommended settings exactly. I had problems right before they started the widescreen option though (encoder was crashing, getting SUPER laggy or would halfway work and then die on me), so I wonder if it's an issue on SM's end due to the site changes.

    I hope you figure something out that works for you! There's nothing more frustrating than your cam causing trouble.

    I am cross posting this fromt he SM thread...

    I posted a few pages back (in the SM thread) that the new widescreen was not working for me. I emailed admin & their solution to the problem was that I should be using google chrome... which did not help at all.

    I took a better look at the encoder, and I noticed that in the video settings (on the left side) in input were set to 704x480 (drop box) & in output 864x480 (type in box below). I changed it so they both said 704x480. It fixed the image feed. It appears that there is still a tiny stretch but whatever. I asked admin if this setting counts as widescreen and they replied yes. Hope this helps you girls out!

    I'm pretty computer illiterate so any time they change the encoder settings I seem to have a problem. My iMac (which is a phenomenal machine) cannot handle the highest encoder settings so I have mine on the medium settings with the widescreen thing selected. I only have a Logitech C9000 so I'm not sure there's a widescreen setting for that.

    My customers were complaining that there was a black box above and below me and I was getting really frustrated not being able to show full body shots.

    Upon further investigation, turns out I'm not even broadcasting in HD.

    I'm just coming back after a looong hiatus and this is just adding more frustration to my "welcome back" jitters.

    If any one could help walk me through the settings or send me a screen shot of what I need to do, that would be awesome. Can I not use widescreen but still keep my 1st page placement? Even without HD I'm still at the top of page 2 so maybe broadcasting without widescreen wouldn't hurt too badly regarding my placement.

    Any, I got a little tipsy before I got on tonight so I feel like I'm just rambling now but basically what I'm saying is: I need help!

    Last month LJ announced they are heading that way soon too. If you're not capable for widescreen you'll be put further back in the listing.

    no it just makes ur own view of ur feed smaller so u can free up more space on ur desktop

    I still see people on page one using the old Standard deff setting, not a ton but there are people who dont use it. You can always try it till you get it figured out. I know a lot of people were/are having problems with the logitech 9000 cams, though I've never used a mac so i dont have any idea if thats related. I had a c910 and it still had issues I ended up getting a c920 to use the new widescreen settings without any issues, but thats just my personal experience.

    I have not seen this question asked yet, so sorry if it's already been covered. I'm camming from a MacBookPro, and the recommended output settings are 864x480.

    For whatever the reason, when I try to enter that configuration, it corrects itself to 864x590. Is that going to mess up my stream? I'm only moderately good at the technical side of this, and I can't seem to find anyone that's had the same issue.

    Are any of the Logitechs Mac compatible besides the new c930 (which I can't afford)? I think I would get better results if I didn't have to run Windows in Bootcamp on my Mac.

    I am trying to set my cam to widescreen before I go back on SM. But I cannot, for the life out of me, find the setting within Logitech C910 software for widescreen. Can anyone tell me where to find the widescreen option? I got the encoder setting info on here, but I assume I have to set the webcam to widescreen too for the widescreen to work. Am I wrong on something?

    Thanks

    This is not that bad at all, I've been running in widescreen the whole time. I thought my settings where different but they are not once I checked them over. Manycam has options to make my picture widescreen since that is what I am using so that I Can record my cam shows at the same time I am broadcasting.

    So it's pretty simple if you can't find the widescreen settings on your webcams then try using manycam version 4.0.52 I know for sure it has the widescreen settings.
