    Default Streaming Issues

    I am sorry if I am repeating what has already been said, but I did search the site and I couldn't find new info on this, correct me if I am wrong - I am blind as a bat sometimes lol.

    Anyways, so I am having issues with streaming on SM. My stream is blurry and fuzzy and the encoder doesn't seem to make a difference. In fact I have major lag issues with the encoder and it is so damn annoying. I have been camming less than 2 weeks so I am trying to be patient but shit is wearing me out.
    I don't have any streaming issues on MFC and AW or other sites, but I feel I have earning potential on SM as a bbw black girl - so I really want to give it a good go. Uni is in a few months time and it would be great to rack up some funds for that too. I like sex work and been in and out since I was 18 - 19 now, for once I'd like to stick with something and see how it pans out cos I think it would be good for me.

    Any advise on how to resolve this issue?

    If you look fine on MFC and AW then it's either your Internet connection or your computer. Both are lower quality than SM so demand less resources.

    Go to speedtest.net and run a test. The important thing is your upload speed. 2+ Mbps and you shouldn't have any problems running the encoder using any settings (assuming you're not splitcamming or otherwise uploading anything.) 1-2 Mbps and you might have to go with medium quality settings, <1 Mbps and you'll probably have to mess with the settings a bit to get it to work.

    If your upload speed is decent then the culprit may be the computer you're using. Open your Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL in Windows) and check out your specs. What's your processor like? How much RAM is available? When you run the encoder what's your CPU usage like? If it's over 80% you're going to have a bad time.

    Speed Test Results:
    Ping - 55ms
    DL Speed - 9.45mbps
    UP Speed - 9.98

    I use a Logitech Quick Cam Orbit/Sphere AS
    Laptop - HP Pavillion g6 Notebook PC


    Am i missing something? I admit I am not a techy girl and this info means very little to me so maybe you girls can fare better with this issue.
    I don't wanna seem like I want to be spoon fed, I like doing things for myself, but I'd rather get help than go weeks worrying about this and wasting time. It really puts me off camming and it means I am barely putting in the hours.
