First of all your default File manager in Mint is Nemo, and you have to make sure to configure your
Address bar, to make the full File Path visible, instead of using the Breadcrumb Navigation.

I hope these Links help you to do that, because that is important for our next steps.

As next, please do not change anything any more within your Wine Configuration Window,
underneath the Drives Tab, this looks all fine for now.

Next, here is how to find the Location to your Animation Files,
and you can do this while iStripper is running, it doesn't matter for this Task.

Bring up the POL Window, highlight again with your Mouse the iStripper Logo,
but it might be already highlighted.

Now pay attention to the left side in that Window, and you should see several options
including "Open a directory" with a Folder icon left next to it, please click on that.

Nemo should open now a new Window and should take you to this Location here,

/home/howard/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/vghd/drive_c/users/howard/Local Settings/Application Data/vghd/bin/

and you are now in the "bin" Folder of your iStripper installation.

Click now in your Address bar in Nemo and delete the last "/" and "bin" in it, and press Enter.
Now you are in your "vghd" Folder

/home/howard/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/vghd/drive_c/users/howard/Local Settings/Application Data/vghd/

and you should see only three Folders which are "bin" "data" and "models".

According to your second Screenshot your Animation Files are stored in "models" and will be always
downloaded to this Location.

Also and from what i can see on your second Screenshot too, you have plenty of space on that Disk (4 TB)
and it seems you don't have a separate Root partition on your Mint installation,
but there is no need, at least for now! to investigate this further.

You can leave everything like it is, but there was a big Server Failure from Totem in late 2018 or early 2019
(not sure any more it's been a while) and everyone lost the Access to their Collections, including myself
while i had all my Animation Files stored in there as well.

After everything got fixed from the Team i moved my Collection to another Location on my Disk,
and since that i never ever lost the Access to my Collection any more independent from any Server
issues on the side of Totem.

I will leave it up to you, but in any case here is how to do it on your own machine.

I do not know how to find the path to the Animation Files on my machine.

Not a problem, the information from your Screenshots is good enough for me
to prepare something, as always i will keep you posted.

In the meantime,

One of them runs in an unmoveable screen in the bottom right quarter of the screen.

and like mentioned before, the Desktop mode is not a recommendation to watch your Shows,
even if you have switched to GPU rendering.

And to exit the Full Screen mode just simply click your left Mouse Button,
or the Escape Key on your Keyboard.

You don't give up easily, Stanston! Thanks for persisting when I was reluctant.

I do not know how to find the path to the Animation Files on my machine.
The path listed in the Storage Files screenshot looks like a Windows path. I cannot find it.

I have no idea what "increased distribution cost" you have with a digital product...

and you can add to @Wyldanimal 's reasons the increased costs in employing Totem's own staff that are administering that distribution. All such expenses have an effect on the distribution cost. Digital distribution is far from free and ***** from inflation just like everything else in this world.

I have no idea what "increased distribution cost" you have with a digital product...

Go price out a Server Farm.
How much do they charge to run 100 Servers distributed around the world ?
Each Hosting 100TB of data...


then come back and ask your Question again...

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

As you know, everything is getting more expensive, including production and distribution costs. That's why we need to adjust the price of the cards to maintain the exceptional quality of our shows.

I have no idea what "increased distribution cost" you have with a digital product...


But yeah, I think you will have to start looking for a new customer base soon... with all the casino like games, the lootbox stuff and worthles NFTs, now even an increase to overall price. There are other options out there which provide similar services... just saying.

music issue: I don't hear the music tracks of my choice while playing cards - but I hear sound of XXX cards. I am on Windows 10, 64-bits. Such annoying issues have once already been on for more than one year, then were corrected and so I was hoping to never see them back; but, unfortunately, they are back.

@HansSachs
I have exactly the same issue using version 524 . Same system as you basically.
I tried the multimedia dlls replacement 'solution' at
http://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/51252/1?post=744703
& every other setting relevant, but sadly no joy ..my lack of music persists. So it is back to version 378 for me for the third time.

Update: the latest version 1.2.524 unfortunately gives me back both "old"

• bonus video issue: I can not play bonus videos (error [5]) on interface - but still am able to download
• music issue: I don't hear the music tracks of my choice while playing cards - but I hear sound of XXX cards

I am on Windows 10, 64-bits.

Such annoying issues have once already been on for more than one year, then were corrected and so I was hoping to never see them back; but, unfortunately, they are back.

Please fix them as soon as possible. Thanks in advance

My skin started working again today before and after a windows update. 👍 😎

Oh @Socialhazard .. i'm sorry to hear your skin wasn't working 😕... mine is very old but has always worked, especially when I take a shower 😊

lol "couple of monthes" 😄

ooh damn... really hadnt gotten around to getting it either :(

Where have you been for the last couple of months?

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/53065/1?post=764988

😊

i just noticed dianna isnt in the store anymore even the shows with kristina i cant access her content, did they silently remove her, or did i just miss the anouncement?

@Altara

but I'm an old codger. 😘

Mmm, old codger, you say you are? Hmmm! Wise and experienced, you must be! But 5 years older, I am, hmmm! Age matters not, my friend. Size of your years, it does not define you. Much to learn, we all have, yes! Share wisdom, we shall, mmm! Laugh and have fun, we must. hmmm!" 🍵👴🪄

The people who have invested and/or tenured should be getting more chances of winning SECs,

Why ?

You seem to think that peple should be rewarded for buying things that they like.

In practice the various "rewards" offererd by businesses to their customers are there to encourage people to spend more, not a way to give them more or reduce what they have to pay - why should Totem be expected to behave differently ?

As a triple diamond and premium member you are already benefiting from the maximum reward/encouragement mechanisms much more than those at lower levels of membership but, as is commonly the case, those that have most insist that they "deserve" even more.

Some people should come to Hungary and experience how to live with the 30-40% food inflation, or better to Turkey and experience the 80% or Venezuela and try the 2-300% etc. Nobody is ***** you to buy all cards or any. If you buy 1-2 cards less per month than you used to, you will spend the same. End of the story. I wonder if anyone would do the same in a supermarket. (This refers to some very bad and unneccessary complaints of above.)

*Not paid for this endorsement* 😆

I've watched this product evolve for 13 years.

Case in point, the most recent app upgrade, while a bit of a shock at first, I can see small improvements here and there along with incorporation of new products. Some of the UI changes were unfortunate, but I'm an old codger. 😘

I went full in a long time ago for one reason, it's far cheaper than a single, wild night at a strip club, and you can visit any time you want, paying for more variety or simply just use what you already have. Better because the girls never get old on screen although I am almost certain that some of my oldest cards have models that have likely lost all semblence of youth, had a kid or two, and are living far different, hopefully high quality, lives. I don't know about the rest of the world, but the cost of one card here is far cheaper than a single "friction" dance at a strip club. 😉

They have likely been doing what they can to keep the cost per card level as low as possible. One example I can see from here (other side of the northern hemisphere), is the auctioning online of unique costumes worn once, or costumes that have seen some wear and were worn by more popular models. A lot of fund-raising potential every time.

Costume quality is significantly better now than it has ever been. You can see it directly if you own some of the oldest cards.

Production levels and video quality exceeds anything they did before. They appear to be keeping up with technology, that alone is expensive.

They are producing VR stuff too, on top of the NFT stuff. If I am thinking correctly, I think they also have a VR game out there, and yes, it's a strip club. 😲 I own a copy on Steam. I can't use it now, but I own it. 😉

I remember the iDancer project, and still own a copy. It was pretty cool but there was likely no way they could adapt it to the product they are producing now, despite the hopes that something more could evolve out of it. I think they had about 5 or 6 different dancers with unique styles that "danced" to some limited degree to the rhythm of any music you play on your music apps. It took a minute or two for the algorithms to figure it out and the music had to be consistent. I think I last toyed with it about 6 months ago before my PC died. No stripping, just interesting club style dancing from that time period. I think it was a usable app for DJ's at the time, if they used video displays along with audio. Yes, I had to pay extra for it, and I doubt they are even supporting it now. Just a case of how they are always looking at improvement.

I've rambled enough. 😶

Je ferme ce thread qui fait doublon.

@AZIMUT75
Si ton répertoire Models n'est pas sur le chemin par défaut (c:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\vghd\Models), vérifie dans les réglages du logiciel et corrige-le avec le bon chemin.
Cela se produit souvent quand on utilise un disque externe relié par USB, Windows a tendance à changer la lettre de lecteur automatiquement parfois.

i would like to don t see always the model while i 'm choosing wich one i want see

Use the ON/OFF switch at the top right corner of the GUI's window.

The same control is available as an Enable/Disable toggle via a right click on the iStripper icon in your Systray. You can configure that in the app's settings to be the action that is performed when you left click on systray icon.

hi guys, how i can put pause to the show? i mean i would like to don t see always the model while i 'm choosing wich one i want see

@ColaAluka - if you are a fan of decent (or even half-decent) pole dancing , it is best to use the "pole-dancing skills" tag as we try to ensure this is only allocated to shows that merit it.If a show does not have the tag but has pole clips, the likelihood is that the model simply walks around the pole and holds onto it to stop herself falling off her platform shoes 😊😊😊As for seeing a list of clips prior to purchase, though this is not available in the app it is available if you go to the IS Workshop (www.isworkshop.eu).

Thanks for your answer. The IS Workshop is a good tool for me.

Also and unfortunately it seems that my Internet Provider has some
trouble to keep me connected again, because this was now the second
time today that i had a full connection failure.

I can't tell if i will have a stable connection all day long,
like it was the case yesterday, so i have to sit it out
like many times before until they have fixed it
on their side, just to let you know.

The sync button on left doesn't do anything. When I click the rebuild button I get this.

Open the POL Software, and leave iStripper closed.

Highlight with a single click the istripper Logo in it.

Then click on configure in the top right (that big Cogwheel Button).

A new Window will open, in there switch to the Tab Wine.

Click on the Configure Wine Button, the first option left next to the Reg editor.

In that new Window, switch to the Tab Disks or Drives (not sure how it's translated in English).
Then show me a Screenshot from that particular Window with the Disks Tab selected.

Then close both single Windows again, start iStripper and go to Settings,
scroll down to Data, ckick on "Change Directory" and make a Screenshot from this Window.

As last tell me the Path on your physical Disk (within your Mint Machine) to all your
Animation Files (iStripper Shows).

A final post. Thanks to all for advice.

I can get the software running in Linux Mint - sort of - inconsistently.

I managed to download two of my collection. One of them runs in an unmoveable screen in the bottom right quarter of the screen. I can make this full screen but then I cannot go back! The other young lady does not run - instead a different one pops up.

The '*****' hot key does not work.

All in all, the program runs well on my old W10 machine. But this means I must power it up specially which is a bit of a hassle.
It would have been nice to have iStripper available on my everyday Linux PC.

I always knew one day it would happen 😄, it is not too unfair as well, as we all know the costs are increasing for everything, but on the other hand not everyone is in a better position to spend a lot, because of the disparity between costs hike and common man's earning worldwide. I really feel about it, we are all on the same boat.
I love this site and want them to continue so that we can enjoy future shows, but that has to come with a cost we all know.
My one request is, please increase the possibilites of winning SECs in more creative and newer ways. The people who have invested and/or tenured should be getting more chances of winning SECs, not sure if its a fair ask, let them be pleasently surprised with some SEC gifts for some spending.. Maybe two consecutive 500 topups in a day will reward an SEC or a Joker card. OR a Premium user gets some SEC privilege etc.. See these things are not going to ***** the business because you can always add more SECs in future for people to crave for.

I don't exactly know how you would want to device newer strategies but please look into this if possible.

I wish I had more money.

Yes, I wish that everyone had more Money, or Enough Money
that they did not have to balance Food on the Table or their hobby.

And I get that some members have far less Money to spend on iStripper than others.
So this Increase affects them the most.

I wish prosperity and happiness to all.
Enjoy what you have, spend what you can afford...

@Wyldanimal
I know you have right.
I wish I had more money.

Audio is only a normal feature on sexually explicit table clips on XXX shows - though it can sometimes be found on other table clips on XXX shows.

But there is no audio on non XXX shows.

My skin started working again today before and after a windows update. 👍 😎

How bout another "buy 4 cards and get your credits reimbursed for the 4th" event before the price increase lol 😜

I watched the YouTube video.

To cut a long story short, I can get into iStripper reliably in Linux Mint, but I cannot rebuild my collection.
None of my 49 shows are active.

I know about Settings and the 'advanced' tick box.

The sync button on left doesn't do anything. When I click the rebuild button I get this.

https://web.tresorit.com/l/DYylq#I3T6Mkex51-ZzyvqNIElHw

I cannot activate YES.

I'd be grateful for further advice. Thanks!

Anyone else has missing audio on some of the shows on some cards I hame many of my cards that do not have audio on many shows. How can this be fixed ?

It does look like the difference is that the SEC can only be retrieved at the end of the event - and this time that could be 5 weeks.

Does the same apply if you complete the progress bar prior to that?

That is a long time to wait 😟

Bonjour,
à chaque fois que je relance I Stripper ma collection apparait en grisée et je sui obligé de downloader à nouveau toutes mes cartes.
C'est très désagréable et prend du temps...
Que faire?
Merci

I don't think it's a glitch but you should be able to use a joker to get the card after the event.

I have learned to live with the process over the years it is what it is. What I am starting to get annoyed of is that during the latest event starting today there is no option to use a joker card to get the new SEC. This is the second time that this is happening the previous time was for the Sky Pierce show from I believe the pleasure chest game from a couple months ago. Are we now slowly phasing out jokers too? Or making them selective? If it's a glitch forgive me but if it isn't than taking those out of the equation will become frustrating.

It would be fantastic to see her again but not just to have her sitting on her ass on the taskbar doing repetitive xxx for 4 or 5 half hour shows.

Most anger is associated with not being able or willing to access all the content because of price walls. This makes people feel poor and inferior to others who are able or willing to spend hundreds and thousands on istripper perks. This by nature pisses people off. It takes humility and thoughtfulness to understand that totem is creating tiers for all kinds of customers and figuring out as we speak how to leverage the wealthiest. This new decision is one of the few that ***** the main buyers, especially new customers...most of the time us "poors" just have to deal with not getting a special event card, or a dolz set, now we see our prices rise, which is a big deal for people who do not have a lot of disposable income and are not gamblers by nature. I imagine totem can't survive long term without new customers and maintaining the hundreds or thousands of selectors that pick and choose, but in this new age of people spending 500-1000 for a dolz card, who the hell knows. Maybe seeing the wild spending on dolz pushed them to not worry as much about new or lower level customers. A risky game it seems.

It is also really bad optics to announce week after week thousands of dollars spent on dolz cards, and a new VR project just as they raise prices on istripper. I think the idea that istripper would be supported by dolz and would be maintained at the same price point kept people from boiling over.

@Evaneself

So.. Now with 2728 cards and Triple Diamond, I have 45% discount from 25 credits which means 13,75 credits.
At 3000 cards and Master Diamond, I will have 50% discount from 30 credits, which means 15 credits.
I have to level up to pay more than I paid before and this is a big favor???
Wow!!!
I don't know how I ended up in an application full of rich people.

There will be a price Increase and that will affect everyone.
Everyone will pay a little bit more.
It is LONG overdue. iStripper has NOT increased it's prices in many years...

NO ONE will see a Decrease.

But the Additional Level with the extra 5% discount, will reduce the Increase seen by Members at this Level.
Yes, an Extra 5% is a BIG Favor !


In My previous Post, I showed an example of a Member with a Full collection and Premium Subscription.
who got credits in Bulk during the 20% bonus credit offers.
If this Member gets every card in a Year ( 365 cards )
The Increase for the Full Year is $27
An Increase from $302 to $329 for the Full year of cards.

I hope it goes well, others want it to fail 😟

They are making cards and not putting them in the catalog .. the catalog is incomlete or not to full potential.

True - but that is not what you said before which was that they were shrinking the catalogue. They are not, they are making exactly as many cards for the catalog as they would do if the SECs did not exist and if they did not exist the extra cards would not have been made.

They could, of course, release more than seven cards a week but it is not obvious that that would result in increased sales.

'average' price is not what I meant. I'm talking about income or revenue.

So was I. What should be maximised is indeed, as you say, the total income which is

Income = Sum for all i ( P(i) )

where i runs from 1 to N where N is the total number of cards sold, by any method, in whatever period we want to evaluate the income over and P(i) is the selling price of the i'th sale, Note that the i'th sale may be for a different card to those before and after it, I am not limiting this to the sales of a single card. Also note that by "selling price" I am not restricting myself to those sold normally via the store but the cost to the customer of obtaining that card no matter how it was acquired. The values of P(i) will vary depending on the card,how much it was discounted and how it was acquired, but the total value given by the above expressing will be equal to N * P' where P' is the average of all the P(i) values.

@dar2112v

They are making cards and not putting them in the catalog

They are making exactly the same number of cards for the store as before.

They are making additional cards as NFTs

they are ***** the time value of the card by making them exclusive

There is a healthy secondary market to buy the cards whenever you want one. Many things that are "rare" go up in value not down.

I don't have any facts but I think the cards lose value

Maybe you should do some research. To date the average value of the NFT cards has been going up. The average value of a card from the store is.... zero... because you cannot sell them. No one knows what the future value will be... it depends on many factors.

members will be less willing to jump through hoops to get the cards

That all depends on how the NFT market evolves. Many NFT providers give the holders additional benefits which have yet to be formally announced and will most likely evolve with the product.

NFT providers often re-invest some of their income into further developments.

Personally, I think it is a very interesting project. I hope it goes well, others want it to fail 😟

They are taking many of the best cards out of the catalog
I do not think that less than 1% of the available cards can be regarded as "many". .

I believe I've heard 70 or 1.5 years worth of DOLZ plus several IS game exclusive cards a month.. That may not be many to you but to me it is.

and shrinking the catalog.
No they are not. Every week 7 cards are released for sale, if the SECs had been released as regular cards then an equal number of other cards would not have been released. .

They are making cards and not putting them in the catalog .. the catalog is incomlete or not to full potential. You are correct it is not growing smaller but ***** none the less. And I think they are ***** the time value of the card by making them exclusive. I don't have any facts but I think the cards lose value (less interest/less urgency/etc) as they get older so members will be less willing to jump through hoops to get the cards.

Totem has to figure their way on the curve selling the max number of cards at the max price.
Not quite correct but I understand what you mean. They don't need to seek to maximise either the number of cards sold nor the price per card but to maximise the product of the number of cards times their average price .

'average' price is not what I meant. I'm talking about income or revenue. As the prices go up there will be fewer buyers but more income per show sold (what I think you are calling 'price'). So what Totem wants to do is get the max price while maintaining as many buyers as possible. I think the term is price and demand elasticity. Let's look at in reverse; think of a curve graph showing more buyers coming in as the price drops. You want to stop lowering the price at the point there number of new buyers are not offsetting the lost revenue. Again using my $1 vs $10 per show you have to sell 10x of the $1 show to generate the same revenue. I would buy zero shows for $10 and as many shows as I want at $1 my personal threshold is somewhere in the middle.

I reboot the modem/ internet connection and reboot my computer,
Clear browser cookies, check fiorewall and turn off my anti-virus software,
Open browser and download www.istripper.com, I didn't unistall it
Re-download it again and still NO SOUND in the Music, but have sound in the Show,
I Only hear the Show sound, the cards voices, but not the music in the shows and the back grounds 2D.
I also hear the sound of the EVENT Twenty Five game, but still don't hear the music that I install to the 2D back ground. and or all of my mp3 files,
The cards that i place into the the Previews Column, don't stay in the column.
This the worth software That y'all ever design. The graphics is okay. But the technology within the software is insane it doesn't work.
I've been trying for weeks to get my mp3 music to play and still haven't got a solution from your Tech support team.
Tell me how the model can dance without the sound of music?

I have to level up to pay more than I paid before and this is a big favor

Not a big favour, but just the normal effects of inflation. Have you not noticed that very nearly everything is more expensive today than it was four or five years ago ? If you haven't noticed then it must be you that that is rich.

So.. Now with 2728 cards and Triple Diamond, I have 45% discount from 25 credits which means 13,75 credits.

At 3000 cards and Master Diamond, I will have 50% discount from 30 credits, which means 15 credits.
I have to level up to pay more than I paid before and this is a big favor???
