thank you very much

@rb42

Welcome to iStripper!!

Your scratch card winnings are automatically applied to your account if you uncover 3 "S" on a single card.

If you win a card instead of credits it should be automatically added to your collection. I Say "should" because I can't win any cards as I have them all already, so I really don't know for sure.

Yes, the iStripper application will run offline and will play your cards, provided you have downloaded at least one complete card to have something to play.

The only way to play the game or to purchase credits for this application is through a third party processor and as such your credit card only gets charged once for those credits and once you run out of credits in the application the only way to get more is to run your credit card through the third party processor again manually. Totem can not just keep charging your card as they don't have the information to do it.

This may be more information than what you were asking for but your question was slightly ambiguous to me so I added the last bit just in case.

@Wyldanimal

Thank you for that explanation.

@Chicsans, are you sure of the translation: yah or nah...i'll give it a go if you'd like

@gkar45

There was no translation involved. That is a screencap of @Rex actual post. I sent my comment, then as an afterthought decided that I would add his words as a quote. It seems that the system will not allow a quote to be added in an edit, nor was I allowed to copy/paste - using ***** and drop or Ctrl-C with Ctrl-V. I was able to add a picture as a posting edit, which is what I did.

There is a translation that you can help me with though

@Rex wrote in English, using “France - male” as the perspective,
@Chicsans read in English, using “Canada - female” as the perspective.

And we both know that what is written by a man is not how those words are read by a woman.

with my scrachcard winnings does it charge my card if i use my winning and can i use istripper offline with my downloaded cards?

talent of the month....after only 2 shows? I don,t think so.

@wuxjnozy

looks like you only have 30 cards Not yet Bought.
And if any of them are less than 45 days old, they do not count towards Cards that can be Won in the Game.

This type of Game is Not the Best suited for Members with Full or Close to Full Collections.

unless your Goal is to Get one of the Special Event Cards you Don't already have.

You could play for Fun, and if you Do uncover and Win a Card, you get 10 credits instead of a card.

But that is a decision only the Member can make.
to Play, or Not to Play, that is the Question.

Filming
with New 6K camera = Better Clarity, Better Focus, Better RAW video to Start with.

Post Processing
Cut and Edit Raw Video into Clips
Create Masks for Clips using New 256 levels of Transparency, for Smoother Edges
Finer details.
This is the new CC+ type clips.

Encoding
Compress the Clips to a Smaller size.
Set the Bit Rate
Create the Security

As REX explained it
Using a New Encoder with Higher Bit rate, caused the Process to go from 2 hrs, to almost 24 hrs per card.
And the End result, was minimal with the New encoder, and Also Broke XP

So the Decision was made to Keep the New 6K camera, Keep the New CC+ Post Processing
But revert back to the Old Encoder.

To See CC+ clips you will still need to use Newer Version of the Software.
But by using the Old Encoder, XP should once again work.

If i've gotten anything wrong, then one of the Team members can add to this description.

Won't play this game due to the results of the last one. Lost 800+ credits and did not get a single card of any kind.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Not happening.

@Chicsans 😊😊😊 beautifully put

I think we are *****

I think so too.

Is there an ELI5 (Explain Like I'm 5) for most of the comments made in this thread, in particular starting with what @Rex wrote.

If there is no ELI5 available for us lesser beings, then perhaps a warning to not read the comment if ELI5 is needed.

Settings
Advance setting
Scroll down to Display
put check mark in Clip list.

I think we are ***** the Encoding, with Post Processing.

The 'crystal clear+’ is part of the post processing

Encoding is the Bit Rate, Compression, and Security.
Done to the clips after they have been post Processed in to 'crystal clear+' playable clips.

Reading this thread, here are some suggestions:

To the Post Producing in 6K you need powerful hardware (Mac Pro 8K or similar) trying to do it with less can end up being a ***** for the time that can lead to encoding a video.

As for the Codec, I do not know which one is used here, but using H264 is recommended (It could be HEVC H265 but it could not run on operating systems before 2017 - Users with Windows 10 back would be obsolete)

The software engine used here is QT 5.4 (This makes it backwards compatible with XP) but at the expense of not taking advantage of the potential of QT 5.12 and that causes failures in the new operating systems. So seeing 4K or 5K here will be difficult (it ***** if you are using a 6K camera)

Working with UHD (about 4K) It is devourer of everything, as an example when I make a clip of 3 min in 4K, this weighs finally 900MB average in H264 (in H265 it is reduced between 10 and 20% less approximately) and came to occupy a 300GB buffer in the development. At the beginning I used a MacBook Pro and it was a *****, today I use a better computer and the Work Flow was greatly reduced (from 6 hours of rendering, lower to 20 minutes)

If external disks are used it is better to use the thunderbolt port, the transfer speed is up to 60% faster than USB 3.0

Approach: Currently many low average equipment already incorporate HDMI 2 (4K) and the cost is reasonable. The resolution is important. Smart TVs are attached to current computers, either by HDMI or by Airplay or Cast. 1080p is already considered obsolete and 4K in 2 more years will have been displaced by 8K. In terms of multimedia content is a point to consider.

To keep users with XP, it is worth sacrificing the younger consumer market that does not want to buy more because it feels that this is outdated in technology?

To cover a lot is to tighten a little. It is better less customers, happier and consume more (It is my personal opinion). Less can be more financially advantageous. To give an example: Ferrari (Sells less units than massive brands but it is more profitable than many) Pay the one that can pay, it is the market law.

Many users suggest that cards are made in several codecs, that is not viable, it would be crazy. This is not Netflix or YouTube that has a self-management system. So that it is better understood, when I see a video on a cell phone with a 4G network, a smaller file is read and when it is for Wi-Fi, another larger file is read.

The resolution of the GUI is efficient, if it is of higher resolution. It would be too heavy the database (it would eat the hard disks) It is not relevant when the important thing is the final deployment (small mode or Full Screen). IF someone uses PLEX or KODI in the multimedia management of insurance, they understand it. Each Kb must be optimized to the maximum.

iStripper is very complex in that. Large database management, generate iFrame in small mode and render in real time in Full Screen? It should not run on operating systems lower than 2014 given the complexity. In that I recognize achievement.

Hopefully TEAM wish you that mistakes are improved soon and that users are a little more tolerant.

Easy way to find out. WA has some test environments. He can see if a new card runs under the old software. Anyone with the old software can do the same. Just be sure that the new card is not using the new codec.

@Dorsai6 , And how is a person to know if a new card is not using the new codec? It was said last week by a Totem employee that there are still over 20 cards to be released that are not of 'crystal clear+' quality, which to me means they were made with the older technologies These fall into the 'new card' category and can still be played on an older software.

I am assuming here, of course, that 'crystal clear+’ is one of the visual identifiers that a card is made with the new codec.

so how do you delete the previews ?

Nope.

All clips are barefoot - including the table clips.

That's from a quick skim through and assumes she doesn't put the shoes on partway through the performance.

I can take it then that the latest version of the GUI will not be required to play the newest cards that will be post productioned with the older codec.

It doesn't matter why people are using it. I would not but they may have good reasons, e.g. some old important (to them) software that only runs under XP. The important thing is that Totem have said that XP SP3 is supported,
Totem is in error for supporting a obsolete unsecure OS. As Ubullu said why put yourself into this situation if the manufacturer doesn't support it anymore. New CPU instruction sets are released, microsoft has updated new libraries to better support new coding in that 20 year gap. Your going to eventually run into trying to hack stuff together to make it playble on the older software(which in this case it doesn't work.) Some things are just best left in the past.

I disagree. The software could be considered 11 years old or even older. I still play games that are from the same year of release and could be expected to play those games on the same computer, infact most of my system is still from 2007. Can you imagine if Medieval 2 or Skyrim just decided you couldn't play the game anymore on the OS that you bought the game on? Istripper works the same way. Eventually games become too outdated...as there are games from the mid-90s that just do not work anymore on modern computers but I do not believe the tech has advanced so far to say that a person can't use an operating system that still works for a majority of content including fairly modern games.

i agree that Totem might be better off if they did not support XP - but if they claim that they do then they had better do so. At some point I can see them dropping support but if so, even though I do not use XP myself, I would expect an announcement well in advance. For all we know there may be a significant number of very active purchasers using XP (though I rather doubt it).

It is rarely an error, as you put it, to continue to support old customers though it can become impractical to do so.

Does anyone know if Sofie Lilith's 'Into The Fire' card has any 'Standing Up' clips where she's actually got her red shoes on while she's standing or on the Pole? I ask because the three previews for this card only show her standing up in bare feet?

Many thanks for any responses, and my apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Sorry but my understanding is : the post processing uses the new codec which requires the new version of the software to play the new shows. With the old codec, an older version of the software can play the shows encoded like that.

I can take it then that the latest version of the GUI will not be required to play the newest cards that will be post productioned with the older codec.

my understanding is...
You will still need the newer version 1.2.228 or above.
it's not the Codec, but the Post Processing that requires the new software.

@Robertbc73V
In the settings tab of the GUI, check the case "Extended setup", scroll down to find "Display clips list" and enable this function. Now you can ***** and drop the clips you want to play for a model in the column "Play next", or make a playlist and save it to replay them in the future.

no you have to have dislpay clips selected in settings

I do not know why Totem choose to do so but the iStripper webpage from which you can download the newest version says that XP SP3 is supported. Hence users can expect it to work.

plus it is not working on Windows XP

When microsoft is not supporting its own product anymore, why should totem.

@Rex - will there be a newer version we shall install to get the actual codec settings ?

It doesn't matter why people are using it. I would not but they may have good reasons, e.g. some old important (to them) software that only runs under XP. The important thing is that Totem have said that XP SP3 is supported,

"It currently is NOT working for Windows XP SP3"
But Totem have said that they are looking into fixing the problem so don't give up hope.

Why are people running still running Windows XP? I know going to catch heat for this but seriously. If money was a issue I could understand but your using it for a "hobby" software which takes money so.......Anyways, zero day exploits are running wild and critical updates are long gone(5 years ago now).

And Windows 7 keys can be found under any rock you look under(Not advocating priracy but it is just a fact)

I just read in the above post made by @Rex that the new codec used in the cards produced that are filmed with the new camera is now not going to be used. It is my understanding from what various experts here have written is that the new codec required the use of version 1.2.2.28 to play the newest made cards.

Now it seems that this new codec will not be used because of some difficulties experienced in post production and by users in general. He stated that post production is reverting back to the older codec.

I can take it then that the latest version of the GUI will not be required to play the newest cards that will be post productioned with the older codec.

There's no insult here.

However, I wholeheartedly disagree with what @Sexy3DBoy says. It's not the first time that I see someone ***** calm with a lack of energy. Liya is serene, she's very conscious of her great beauty and she knows she doesn't need to move around like a lunatic to get attention. Sexiness lies in slow motion - any woman who waves around quickly, as professional strippers so often do, renounces any chance to exude any kind of sex appeal. I couldn't possibly be seduced by a circus act or a gymnastic performance. And I'm wholly seduced by Liya and by what her eyes say.

Liya knows what she is and isn't. She is blessed with culturally gorgeous body and face but she is not blessed with flexibility. Moving around on a hard floor, while standing or with a pole is much easier if you have a larger range of motion due to being more flexible. One of our flexible girls can go from standing to the floor, to a doggy position, to an M, and back to standing in a few seconds. This isn't Liya. She instead focuses on sexuality and more hardcore stuff and keeps herself in one position for the duration of a clip. As a dancer she is not "talented", as a seducer she is fine and as a beauty she is a top girl. Rarely is a girl all three anyway.

Did Virtuagirl do away with the "choosing what clips to play and not play for a specific model"?

We recently upgraded production and post production to deliver a better quality to our customer at the same price. We’re now filming models with a new camera in 6K. The entire post production process and hardware had to be changed while we were still releasing cards in the previous quality. We ran into significant difficulties, such as post production output jumping from two hours to 24 hours. Customers reported slowdowns while playing videos using the new codec, which is known for better quality but also more processing time. We decided quickly to keep the new camera and post production process but to go back to the previous codec as the increase in quality was not significant at similar bitrate, plus it is not working on Windows XP. Because all the changes had to be done while we were still releasing one new card every day, some of the new cards had to be released without going through QA, hence some quality issues. Please give us a bit of time to fix all of the issues, colors, transparency, compatibility etc The new camera and post production process will bring you much better images of the girls, we’re working on tuning it properly.

Good Job Totem !! .............

let's see more dancing....

... I would of thought that the circus act or gymnastics happens later, under the big top; between the sheets! :)

@Kenzer Hi,Have you tried to click and ***** the strippers where you want them to be on your screen ? Can you please send us some screenshots to [email protected] . Thank you

Im having a weird problem with the Istripper application. I just installed it yesterday but it makes my windows act really weird. Everytime I have the program running it screws up my priority of opened programs. It makes other windows go "Always on top" mode, so when i click on a different program on my task bar it will open BEHIND the "always on top" program. It is quite random which program gets this hyperpriority, but it is never Istripper! Also this makes it so, when i have Istripper activated the girl will be behind the "always on top" program.... So i don't see a thing. It's a bit hard to explain this problem so i hope someone understands what my problem is. I never had this before i installed Istripper so it really seems related to the program

There's no insult here.

Buddy Guy ~ What Kind Of Woman Is This
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un2JONUbxNM

Blues

I decided to play a few tries. I got the "special card" three times but did not qualify with the three S scratches. So lost those plays. I "won" two cards I didn't want, one of which is a 720P card I could have purchased outright for less than 10 credits.

Eh, my decision to play; guess I was bored. But I'm done with the scratch game.

Still a good game for those with few cards.

wow she deserves this award, keep it coming

In that case, being "old style" pics by the way still produced for users not having the last Istripper version, it would be good if both pic versions were downloaded and we could choose which one to visualize on program interface. Thanks

I do totally agree with that.

@All - this discussion has gone far Enough !

The word Talent is used in the Context of, a Model, is herself the Talent.
Have you ever heard of Talent Agent, Talent Scout.

A model is herself an artistic palette
Talent = artistry
So a model is herself considered Talent.

I agree with @lukaszr there was nothing insulting about what @Sexy3DBoy said it was just a critique of her shows...so far (this was given out early)

And i do admit that in general the term of a girl being "talented" is overused here.

In what @Sexy3DBoy wrote, I do not see anything offensive. Let's not ***** criticism with *****.

The quality of the show is not the only aspect taken into account when choosing Talent of the Month. For the record:

iStripper Talent is selected once a month based on :

• her beauty of course,
• the quality of her performance as a stripper,
• the rate she got from our members,
• the number of times she's been purchased,
• how long she stays in our top 20, etc.

And in case of a tie, we ask the shooting crew to choose the girl who has left them with the most unforgettable memories!
