Yep and like I said before if say all the girls took a international Streamate day off what do you think would happen then?
While they make great money why should they do anything as there is nothing wrong with the site from a business point of view

im in the uk so what one do i select and whats a payout? is that the money to me?





This is a sidenote or commentary on this thread....in between all the post about shit traffic,lack of advertising, preferential treatment in regards to placement...there is STILL someone trying to sign up for this site. Im sorry I think thats funny.

whats wrong with the website??
Sorry hunny. Took me a bit to find your post.
Before you buy anything try a calibrate with the cheap inferior cam you got. The point is to get encoder to calibrate it.
And the cam you posted looks exactly like a c920
Try running it with your back up cam. And yeah mine gets hot its because it has a cpu in it to do the encoding on the fly. If only Streamate could key into that stream direct all our problems would be solved. Lol.
Basically the cam encodes in what ever settings you use.
Have you tried turning to auto settings off in the logitech software? And changing the picture to 720p?
Default its recording in 1080p. Then the pc has to decode and re encode to 720p through the Streamate encoder.
It might take some stress off the cam and allow it to calibrate. Or if might just be worn out. I do recall a post where someone said their old cam will only run at a 800 bit rate not the normal 3000.
Charlottevontease,
Some of you're questions are on the SM Q&A. As far as anything wrong, just read this STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues thread. There is also a list under Camming Connections you should go through, its all there and very useful for newbies, in case you dont receive an answer





logitech controller.jpglogitech controller.jpgNo because my webcam controller doesn't have that setting you can change it to 720p not that I could find.. I looked for it.. and watched youtube videos of what you are talking about.. I must have an older webcam controller.. and I do not know how to update that because I think the original cd was thrown away and I used one from a different cam or something... so I don't know what to do in that case ( it just started doing this like a lil over a week ago or something.. I had problems with lag at other times but went back to normal on it's own. I am going to print screen it for ya!





This is 'soo sweet' ... cant help it but smile... nothing wrong with the website, pls dont let this thread affect ur enthusiasm, just carry on, get urself signed up and start camming, just read the site FAQ's and the threads for newbies here, all the info u need is on the site actually, click all buttons, tabs and links, u'll find the answers same like in here.
I wish u great luck on SM!

Hey thanks!.. what do I set it on it says small 2.0, med 3.0 , large 6.0, max 15.0... ok that is for photo.. video says.. small , med , large, max.. it seems it was set on 720p already! what shall I set it on then? had no idea that was there... looking ALL day for this resolution setting..lmao





Mine stays on the 1080 most of the time. But im not conviced that it even matters when you're streaming. I only keep my software open to change my exposure etc from day time to night time. I turn off the autofocus because my big boobs causes the cam to go blurry when i move around a lot. Your resolution is set in whichever encoder that you use. Oh and I always have my software set to video incase some guy wants me to zoom in. If its on photo you cant zoom in while streaming fyi








Interesting to read the latest message SM support sent us about the site changes and the survey about contests, it confirms the fact they really wanna make us cam more with these contests, guess they really need more money so they try to get us to cam longer hrs and to compete for the prizes.
The changes regarding the earnings page is all about design with the exception of that id number next to member names, that is a good thing.
The schedule page again, design and the option to set our time zone in there, good too.
About the contests, i really dont get on cam when there are 2k models online, i cam the same hours regardless & i dont care about these contests, i really dislike them cause they bring the kind of competition i dont like.
All in all is good they working on improving things but the most important is the paying traffic not the contests in my humble opinion, what use to give away prizes if there is not quality traffic on site? I rather have quality paying traffic constantly than contests after contests, not everyone cares about these contests, i care to make money every day when on cam.




They're making models work harder...
it almost seems as though they just cut back all month on paying traffic then at the end of the month throw a contest, try to get us all to participate, and half the time guys don't even know a contest is happening. They just think we're all just soooo eager to be online dressed in costume and shit.
Happy the day is over y'all! Good luck to everyone this weekend I'm out!

^^^ And i choose to work smarter LOL! by working around the contests & prime time. Tonite it was a good shift for me, just off of a nice long pvt with an adorable young man and logged off right away, no more energy here lol but i am soo very happy! Short shifts, good money for me, logging off when traffic dies, not sitting on cam if no business. Off to bed now xxx
Its based on a 720p file is 100mb and 1080p file is 150mb
If the cam is struggling it reduces the load on the cams cpu its the same with the right sound settings white balance etc. the harder the cam is working and its age the more likely it will crash. The actual encoder itself controls what is uploaded. So if your cam is running 1080p. Your pc is decoding a 150mb 1080p back into a 720p 100mb file. Which is fine as its an i7. Its what the actual cpu in the cam itself is what I am thinking about.
Its 3 years old and been run at max for 6hours a day. Just thinking reduce the load on the cam or limit it to 720p as an i7 cant possibly have issues as support recommended an i7





Its like when porn studios send you a message asking have you ever played on cam. Well no whats its like?





Thanks for that detailed explanation.. My technology knowledge is completely broken... somehow I manage..lmao
It appears that it was already defaulted to 720p , so I will try either less than that or more than that.. I did try more than that and the pic was so much better.. but I think still freezing a bit.. I will try lower 480p when I log on.. not having a good feeling about it.. I think I should try a new webcam.. Never went to get one yesterday.. ( first day of period ) don't want to leave the house.. haha.. maybe today I can..





Dont go higher than 720p cause it'll put too much effort into ur system & connection.
One question, u always splitcam with this camera? U said u also used the cam directly on SM without splitcam software right? And still the same symptoms i read? So i assume u use the FMLE if u splitcam. It does the same when u use the SMBroasdcaster?
Try these settings on anti-flickering, set it to off, 50 and 60, see if helps, i told a girl about these settings and she said cam was working better with "Off" setting, see the picture below (not camming now so my settings are the default ones that the controller opens up with, when i cam i set them as needed, the white balance slider i mean); if nothing works just buy a new cam eventually. Good luck!

ETA: see the name of the cam it says PRO on it? Is the one u shown us at $129 or so? Then i read other members say u can buy it for cheaper. Just dont buy the same cam for double price lol, this is the PRO c920 cam already xx
