@Bitwrangler

At last a voice of reason and sanity.

I too have been testing the Beta versions for months now and there is no way I would go back to one of the older versions.

When I first started using it there was a big problem (for me) with fullscreen scenes. Far from ignoring the problem one of the dev's spent several days exchanging PMs with me and it was eventually sorted. Not only did they fix the problems I was seeing but they also went a stage further and made it so that if you are using a playlist or a defined queue then all the girls in multi-girl scenes come from the playlist/queue.

Ths improvements to Themes/Skins is also almost unrecognisable compared to earlier versions. In fact you can just pick a picture (needs to be of the correct size) and a colour theme which you can also adjust on the fly. Only drawback currently is that you can't directly save them ( you can still create the palette file and a thumbnail and save the them manually).

Also I have to agree that playlists, for me, are far easier to create in version 2.0 than in the old version. In fact it was so cumbersome in the old version I only created a couple of playlists. Playlists aren't my major use for iStripper but I have created many new ones - some of them for use with specific fullscreen scenes.

Accessing clips list is far easier - just a simple right click on a card to access it. You don't have to keep going backwards and forwards to the card details page to get to the clips list. You can still access it from the details page but now you can also access the clips directly from the collection or from a playlist. In fact if you edit clips from a playlist the card is ONLY EDITED in the playlist - it does not affect the card in the collection.

I am stiill not sure why there is all the negativity with "Right clciking" to access menus. It is something that seems entirely natural to me and a feature that I have felt has long been missing from iStripper. I use right click all the time in other software so why not in iStripper.

Everyone has different ways of using iStripper and I think part of the problem is that people are blinkered by this. V2.0 doesn't work exactly the way they want it to and therefore it is crap. No giving it a try to see if they can find alternative ways of doing things or searching posts to see if ther users have encountered/solved the problem.

How many posts are there about turning off previews and editing clips and how many times have support and other users explained how to do this only for someone else to post two minutes later that they can't turn off previews or edit clips.

Using any new software requires a bit of time to get used to. Yes there is no documention currently available but to be honest looking at the numereous requests for edit clips or disable previews and the number of times these have been responded to, I doubt anyone will bother to RTFM.

Yes there are still some issues that require fixing and I suspect there are are priorities for these. I would imagine that fixing the freezing clips issue (which I haven't personally seen) that some have reported more important than adding a slider to adjust the card size in the collection.

Patience is needed whilst such things are addressed. Despite the fact that many people are saying the software hasn't been tested it has by many users in the Beta testing. They have tried to iron as many problems as possible but there are only a finite number of harware configurations for some of the testing. Some users currently ***** may have a hardware issue that hasn't been tested tested because no-one else in the test group has that particular configuration.

One final thing to consider also is that software itself becomes obsolete. It my personal opinion that the old version of iStripper may be using old versions of the QT software and libraries. I think the lates version 2.0 is also an update to a newer version of QT to try and future proof the app against QT no longer supporting their old versions.

No messing with little icons.

I can not see this as an improvement...

Those "little icons" do open in old version a perfect FULL PAGE for each function, so you can see e.g. all pics and all clips listed just at a glance. Which once opened, it is much easier and faster, much more convenient and satisfacting to use.

Now the Detail page has instead become a sort of mess filled with too many things and all tabs are so small and partial, so you'll have to bother yourself scrolling up and down tons of times in order to merely choose a pic;

moreover, the clip list has become a small popup with just few clips listed, which even slows down animations while it's opened.

I can not even imagine anyone bothering to scroll down after only each 3 or 4 comments readed, no one is going to read comments anymore.


I am not against per se to the "right click" system neither to "all in a page" one, but they should much preferably have been added to old system instead of totally replacing it.
Images tab and Comments one should at least e.g, have a title bar which you can click, opening a full page view for people preferring such one. Same way for Clip list.

POV: First look at 2.0.00 version:

Looks good so far... Nice method of transition...Don't exactly like new wait screen, is there a method to making it more company friendly for both home & work?😐

{look at collections} Ok..still can play models...hmm...WTF?!? how can I select "preview" models now {maybe linking previews with collections after download or store with preview button}?!? Not only that where's the choice in "search" menu for "downloaded/not downloaded"?!? 😫

FRACK...Having owned up to 5,000 shows, more unloaded vs loaded, with my loaded cards piecemeal through my unloaded files, finding them will be like looking through a very large haystack for my fav needles...FRACK...😢

{Playing models & Model menu} Playing is still the same, as well as making models a smaller percentage and a larger percentage via "settings" menu...

Couldn't IStripper link this method zoom percentage to the new "Repeat, Random, Music volume, Show Volume" button?

And would be nice to include the "magnifing glass" here too.
{And yes, Wyldanimal I know what you said years ago about putting a maginifying glass in with settings zoom current set.
However, I also ran a short ranking/poll on general Forum about if IStripper should put the option back in. I was suprised that 75% said yes versus 25% No, but was more 90 to 95% with 5% no, when I included a why, and members found out it was needed due to persoal preferances}.

{Model Menu page} Like the new features and look {very nice and up-to-date style}

Hmm...???...HUH?!?...Where's the custom Clips Film Clapper board Icon?!? How can I play my fav Standing clips/Pole clips/Table Clips now?!?
😫

{new method: with right click on models card or model in Collections or Details then click on "edit clips".

{Prefer either far right or left, due to center interfers with show or when changing clip. Best option is allowing same function like regular windows to move inside program window}.

Conclusion:

Similar to old interface 1.00.00 version, this... 😉too... 😆needs some work... 😕Will be back once 2.0.000 is up to 2.0.100 or 2.0.050😎

Keep up the good work, IStripper Staff & moderators😊👍👍👍

I am trying to figure out why some people have such a negative reaction to 2.0. I have been using it since early beta (trust me, it's greatly improved since then) and prefer it quite a bit over 1.0. But there is a learning curve. If you went down that curve you would see a LOT of usability improvements, but you have to work with it. What surprises me is that people are ***** about things that are the greatest improvements over 1.0. Like the detail page for the models. You click on ANY of the model's card and RIGHT THERE you see which cards you own and which ones you could buy. No messing with little icons. It's right there.

I thought this was pretty slick and like it a lot.

From any model picture you right click and have all the menus available to manage the card, play the card, create playlists, it is ALL RIGHT THERE. You can open the clip list on a card and add different clips to different playlists and even create the playlists as you go. I have both imported and newly created playlists (a LOT of new ones, I was testing this) and it is simply VASTLY easier to create them in 2.0.

And people say how much better the old interface was! I don't get it. The old interface was, frankly, clunky. And had an even longer learning curve, NOTHING in 1.0 is obvious! And the new one, once you get used to it, is very pleasant to use.

The new 2.0 is being improved constantly and if there are things you miss (or haven't found, and yes, some of the controls are not obvious- like the preview enable / disable toggle, which IS there) you need to say what they are. Certainly the beta testers weren't shy about that, we were a noisy bunch! And some of the changes we wanted have already gotten into 2.0. And I expect more are on the list to do. But if you don't give feedback on it (based on more than a couple of hours of use) you won't get what YOU want.

And I absolutely agree that documentation is lacking. This, ah, isn't a new issue.

Btw, a number of Totem technical staff have been on vacation, they're not ignoring you. I think they're back next week.

,,New Versions are not always making it better..." This sum's up pretty much everything very perfectly... I already ***** the Beta/Test-Version when it was out and just went right back after seeing it/testing some things with the new Beta-Version and found it to be very bad. This new 2.0 version is a disaster and NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL! 👎👎
From what I seen in the comments, that you even not can stop automatic downloading Preview Clips, is just one of the things. you can call simply a big step back, than improvement/upgrade!

I do not like this update, not one bit. Many people have been very kind about their frustrations... Do you do any alpha/beta testing with REAL users? I hope this improves... I regret updating and will roll back to pre 2.x and cling to it as long as I can.

@JSN
Click on the Queue button. There, you can Enable/Disable the previews and see them.

Where can I see all the downloaded previews?

@pucker Hi,


To import old playlists : click the big + button to add a playlist, then select "Import" and either Browse or *****&drop the playlist.


Alternatively, put your playlists in the "playlists" folder and they will automatically be imported.

Found it, the new interface is not intuitive!Yes you can have play lists, but you can only run one at the time, in the old GUI you coud just add the play lists to to the queue

how do you play the playlists and can we import the old ones we had somehow?

Switched to the new version as required when I tried to login and activated previews. Only the previews shown are the exact same ones every day. Why aren't the old previews being replaced by new ones like in the previous version?

Yal still love it!!!

I Love it

Is there a way from the software itself to see which preview have been download? Is there a max number of previews that can be downloaded as with the last version?

Once again, Kelly Collins knows how to ride, good lord...
She gets on her knees and knows how to lean back, her hand in her hair and just using her hips to move. It's soooo sexy, no one does it like her

One front-facing ride and one rear-facing ride, both in the last explicit clip

f1737 - Lalita / Chaude Et Humide

Lalita does a short, 30-second, front-facing ride in this card, but a ride is a ride! Plus, she's so petite and sexy, and she makes great faces when it's sliding inside.

Good for you! Congratulations!
I still need to buy 1000 cards left in my Wishlist when there will be sales.

It is about version 2.0.0. If I install it it will not run anymore. I cannot say what exactly was changed what does the problem. Even if the program manager says vghd is running nothing happens, no task bar icon, nothing. If you go to an older version it should work. I think it is really sad. Linux users always get forgotten. I wish they would have a real linux version.

Bonjour. Je n'arrive plus à jouer les filles de ma collection. Seuls les extraits des cartes que je n'ai pas se jouent.
Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

To claim that iStripper 2.0.0 Build 1036 is a stable version is very bold.
The DesktopVideoPlayer of iStripper 2.0.0 Build 1036 freezes almost permanently as soon as a show is to be finished in maxi mode. There is no difference if the rendering is done by the CPU or the GPU.

First of all, new look is good 👍👌

1. For me Sorting of the collection is a downgrade from the previous version. I like to keep the models in Alphabetical order and earlier the sorting was good - older shows to newer shows, firstly erotic shows and then xxx. Now for me its all messed up.
2. Also in Queue section: there should be a option to remove all the model from queue at once.

3. Slider feature is mentioned in the settings but no slider feature to increase or decrease the thumbnail sizes.

@Wyldanimal
I agree with your latest post re V2.0. It is a change, one or two feaures are a distinct improvement, there are some trivial bugs in the GUI display, especially the pop-up when one clicks a model.
I have much appreciated the video tutorials you have made. I have worked through them and I am still working on it.

The operation of the queue with respect to fullscreen is complex! It differs in the various methods whereby the fullscreen is started, and I am still ***** by it. It is, I am sure, an improvement once one gets on's head around it! As the format of the .vpl file has changed I need to upgrade my own playlist management VBA macros. I haven't yet worked out the new format, and it seems to differ with respect to creation and import.

More trivially, I find it very difficut to distinguish whether the Queue "Loop"/"Random" is ON or OFF, and I think it should be made clearer.

Overall, I think it is a significant improvement and I congratulate the developers and beta testers for their major effort..

Hello,

List of clips :

right click on a card (in the collection or in the details page then click on "edit clips"

Can't use v2.0 Mac on M1
Keeps crashing, playback stutters no GPU support.
Won't play clips - saying settings don't allow it and to check eroticism levels and collection settings. Both are set to all and still doesn't work.

Auto preview downloads is annoying - I would like to turn this off as before.

Have to go back to older version because it just doesn't work.

WhiteOak74
I see you have 3 shows now, then all ok for you ?
If yes have a nice shows.

hello WhiteOak74

Find the menu (synchronise with server) and clic on.
hope that help you.

and i see you have 1 show in your collection.

I tried to add a girl to collection,then clicked add now.An error occured during network communication.Can you help?

Hello Wyldanimal,
thanks, i am fine, i hope same to you.

@alerte

Woo Hoo ! It is good to see you.
Hope all is well and you are having Funrious.

Hello CML1

have a look in Queue and disable previews

never mind i see it now in the top header.

I won a gift card but i don't see it in my collection. where do they go now?

I think i had two others too.

TIA

I can't find where to disable the free preview and stop it from downloading a new preview.

where is the clips button in the details of the show?

f1711 - Mia De Vil / Pink Gamer

This is not a suction cup toy, so she has to hold it, but Mia does two rear-facing rides, holding the toy down, for about 30 seconds each in two different clips, and she also does some riding motions while holding the toy in the air, including in the "tripod" position (2 feet and 1 hand on the ground, hips in the air). Mia really seems to enjoy herself in these explicit clips!

I want to import my playlists to 2.0 but I can't find them. Did they get deleted during the update??

@ET

Do you have similar 'enveloping' effects using your Quest Headset with any moving backgrounds ?

I haven't noticed this, I do find that things like the thumbnails for scenes sometimes feel like they had a 3D effect even though I know they haven't. Maybe there is some sort of sideways offset going on for different colours which makes them feel 3D.

You asked about my next work....

I've set off on a huge task. I'm using the gallery style of my last scene and building a template thingamy to build scenes for each and every category of show . All 63 of them so far. Then I'm creating 3D background images for each category, trying to build a selection of backgrounds that suit each category. So far, I've found the results are amazing.... the combination of having 3 girls at different depths on a changing 3D background that is relevant to their show category.

If anyone wants to fire some thoughts for interesting or amusing locations for backgrounds for a particular card category - please feel free.

Have there even been any patch notes listed somewhere? A search of the forums turned up nothing and I don't use discord. I'm reading this thread and seeing a lot of the same complaints from last summer. Is there a way to see what changes and fixes you have made?

@Wyldanimal @celine
Indeed the drop has been done today. Thx!

Send your e-mail to [email protected]

I would also like to have my account deleted. I don;t like to have open accounts hanging around. I have contacted [email protected] twice but receive no response.

I have now spent a full week on v2.0 and i can say without a doubt, it is both a tiny upgrade (more like a 1.5 update, not a 2.0 update) and a massive downgrade.

pros.
1. ui customisation is nice (finally we have easy dark mode)
2. daily jackpot is a interesting addition (won 3 cards so far)
3. changing the menu selecter from the top to a vertical menu on the left is fine.
4. store page is ok, i can get use to it
5. forum page didn't change
really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find pros 😐

cons.
1. lag spikes are constant.
2. slow ui loading is a problem
3. creating new playlists feels janky
4. v2.0 broke alot of VG and deskbabes shows
5. v2.0 turned alot of shows into black rectangles or blank shows (audio plays but not the model)
6. when starting up, my collection is completely gone and i have to restart iStripper 2 - 5 times before cards show up
7. when i close iStripper, it sometimes doesn't close properly and i have to use task manager
8. previews continue to show up even though i have it supposedly set to off according to what someone said to do
9. my collection is set to sort "model A-Z" but has reversed the card number sort e.g.
pre v2.0 - name x0001 x0002 x0003 x0004 x0005 x0006, x0211 x0212 x0213 x0214 x0215 x0216
post v2.0 - name x0006 x0005 x0004 x0003 x0002 x0001, x0216 x0215 x0214 x0213 x0212 x0211
10. being told "right click is your friend" is getting old....
11. having queue tucked away is annoying
12. shuffle doesn't always work
13. removed the mute / unmute toggle for music and shows, so now i gotta go to my settings to set the music back to 50% if i move the slider to 0
14. can't select multiple playlists
15. can't bulk add playlists (i got waaaaaaayyyyyy too many playlists to waste time adding them individually)

after a week of v2.0, i just feel exhausted from using it. v1.2.3.80 was the best and will always be the best.
i will continue using v2.0 for now in the hopes that these cons are fixed.

edit: not sure if this is a v2.0 problem but im constantly seeing server error 500 😟

how do we delete clips and choose clips to watch
