Hello everyone just looking for a simple yes or no from someone on this no need to start a whole thread. My question is simply can you go into a show once you've purchased it and adjust the erotic levels of the clips? If so how and are there any potential risks in doing anything? Thank you in advance and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone be safe.

Yes - all you have to do is access the clip list (the icon is the one furthest to the right at the upper edge of the details page) and un-tick the clips you don't want to see. Then the next time you start the show, it will honour your choice. And if you want to alter it. you can easily just tick and un-tick.

You can also make these Settings Global for all your Shows, if you want to.

I read the question a bit different. Don't think you can actually change the erotic levels of a clip. Maybe if you describe what the purpose for you would be, the answer may already be given above. But since you don't want to start a whole thread I would simply keep it to "no". But then again, I may be corrected.

Yes,

you can use Folder Explorer and edit the Name of each Clip
the 3rd Digit from the Right controls how the APP see the Level.

Let's use card a0001 as an example

it has a clip with the file name
a0001_64101.vghd
this is a Level 1 clip

If you change the File name to
a0001_64501.vghd
This will become a Level 5 clip


After you have changed the clip names to correct the Levels
you have to do a Rebuild Collection

If you re-download or Check for Updates
the Changes you Made will be lost.
and the card will revert back to Normal.


So Yes, you can Alter the level of a Clip.

PS: you can't change the level of .demo preview clips this way.
only the .vghd clips

@wyldanimal thank you very much appreciate the help. Thanks everybody.

I don't see the point to do that. What was filming in the clip will not change after changing the level.

While you can rename the files to change their declared erotic level, which may just abut be useful if you disagree with Totem's definitions, I essentially agree with @stefnev1.

Also note

1. It will badly affect any playlists that use the old names.

2. It is likely to have bad effects, or just get undone, if the card is updated. It certainly will if you ever re-download the card for any reason.

3. Totem may at any time change the system in such a way that it no longer works, or even in a way that the renamed files are not recognised. A similar thing has already happened with the contents of the .xml files. One possibility is that the program may be updated in such a way that no longer recognises renamed clips because they do not match a list of the known clips for a card.

4. It will be ***** if you ever need to refer to any such clip in a post, a bug report or a support call.

Maybe, but if a user wants to use iStripper in a different way, why not Although I have no idea what they want to do 😄

Of course if a user wants to do it they can - but if they step outside of the supported mechanisms then they should be aware that although it may work now there may be problems in areas that they had not thought of and that it may cease to work at any time in the future.

The original poster did ask

are there any potential risks in doing anything?

my post addresses that question.

And probably get bored making all those changes after the first couple of hundred cards 😆

Of course @TheEmu, your warning is benevolent 👍

Also @Wsw, but some get bored doing other things. To each his own 😊

I don't see the point to do that. What was filming in the clip will not change after changing the level.

I have done this with many Clips myself.
Our Level rating is based on a 1 second Glimpse, will put that clip into the Higher Level , than what 98% of the rest of the clip is.
So for many clips I have down level rated them for myself.

No one else see's what I'm watching,
and if a clip is Majority Level 2, then I want it to show when I select level 2
I don't want it excluded simply because it has 2 seconds that Might be considered level 4.

And conversely, if I select level 4,
that is what I expect to watch.
But many times you watch 2 minutes of level 2 action for a few seconds of level 4.


So for Me, I wish there was a right click option, that would allow me to alter the level
on the Fly.

Humm, Perhaps I write a utility, or add that to my Clip timer.
a Change Level function.

Presently I just jot down a note, and change the clips when I'm done reviewing the card.

It would be awesome, if all Clips going forward could be Double rated.
Just add a hyphenated Digit to the end of the clip.
1st rating is the Majority seen in the clip, and the 2nd rating is the Max seen in the clip.
Then on the Level control, you have the Option of using the setting for MAX or Majority.

if a clip does not have a hyphen in it, it's an older clip
All current clips with a single Level rating would use that level for both.
So prior clips would not, ALL have to be re-rated.
But could be done on a clip by clip basis.

@wyldanimal exactly you just explained my whole logic for doing this. Have always been frustrated by the split second rule on these ratings and that can cause me to exclude some of the best teasing clips a lot of shows have and conversely especially in the past few months lower level clips have been very few and far between on most shows. I use the app both ways sometimes you feel like all nudity all the time, other times especially when my wife is with me we like to enjoy how hot the models look in their different dresses, bikinis, costumes and outfits. When you have as many shows as most of us that converse on these forums do it lumps in too many of one with the other so to speak. @wrightsayswow I work from home a lot so I will mostly have the time to update the shows and I am not going to be too obnoxious nor am I going to go too far back. Thanks @TheEmu as well your warning makes logical sense and you always seem to be there to help me when I ask wierd questions so thanks again. Happy Thanksgiving everyone !

@jclown781 if I understand from your comment that I was being obnoxious, very sorry about that. How ever many cards/clips you amend go carefully, you don't want to stop the girls dancing altogether with an error. It's great how we can all use this App in so many different ways. 👍

As @wyldanimal says in relation to clips levels of eroticism

It would be awesome, if all Clips going forward could be Double rated.
Just add a hyphenated Digit to the end of the clip.
1st rating is the Majority seen in the clip, and the 2nd rating is the Max seen in the clip.
Then on the Level control, you have the Option of using the setting for MAX or Majority.

which is a sentiment with which I whole heartedly agree.

I think it would be even better if there were Min, Max and Median (or Majority) levels for each clip - plus a user assigned rating (My Level - to continue the M theme). All but the last could be encoded in the file name in the way that has been suggested but it is not so clear that any user assigned value should be handled in this way.

(In passing, I regard it as a ***** design flaw that iStripper encodes data in the file names rather than in a database refering to more arbitrary names, but extending it to cover Min and Max eroticism levels would be a natural way to proceed)

If anyone wants to try rating their own clips in any way they wish, my Playlist Generator supports this. It also lets you create clip-level playlists and sort them based on your ratings. The amount of work needed to do this is considerable, but that work could be shared among many people.

Why not go the whole hog and classify each clip according to how much time she is fully clothed, topless, nude, fully nude and being sexually explicit?

By the way - I'm being facetious!

By the way - I'm being facetious!

I was always getting into trouble with bosses for that and it was so much fun! 😆

I like Money....

@wrightsayswow you have nothing at all to be sorry about..I don't honestly understand why you thought you were being obnoxious I was referring to myself when I said it. Must've floated right over my head but either way...btw unrelated but I miss your avatar picture stupid mastercard rule change :)
