@Wyldanimal Is there any point in trying to run something in 4K when all I have is max 1080 screen? I can't see the difference is this just a memory hog for me?

I'm not wyldanimal but have heard him say it many a time - pick the resolution that's goes with your monitor. 4K on 1080p is having to be downscaled and unless you have a powerful PC it's just going to work harder and run hotter. That said I can see the difference as I have a 1440p 144hz monitor and the 4K is amazing. I want to sometimes cut off my older 3K cards as they don't come alive as the newer cards do.

I, instead, like much the other features of my Premium membership. Above all, the discount on all new cards. And also the Joker card i got.

I mean if I was more active on the site then yeah the "premium" features would have more use for me, but as of now they don't really serve me any purpose...but hey who knows...things always change! ✌😎

@willyweekly

In this case someone mentioned that it might be an advertising ploy on the part of Totem.

However, usually when this happens it is just that the person making the .png file at Totem forgot to resize it to 1500 pixel height instead of the 4500 or so that it is originally, which results in giantess syndrome in the 'releases' carousel.

They'll fix it tomorrow and the girls will all be back to normal.

Or if it is a marketing stunt then maybe not and they will stay larger than life.

While this looks funny, I am wondering if there is a reason for it.

the other comments can be about gian women.... etc....

Totems customers are paying money for new hardware to run 4k clips but then the Istripper app itself is the bottleneck and not using all the RAM customers actually would have available.

What is the point of adding an option to preload the clips instead of streaming them when some of the 4k clips with audio would benefit from more than 4GB of RAM?

Can you share how long customers will have to wait for a 64 bit version of the app?

The Most I've experienced a Single 4K clip using on it's own was about 1.2 GB of RAM.

I haven't experienced a low RAM issue until I had more than 5 Girls in 4K playing at the same time.
I have even managed to get 10 4K clips playing if I selected the clips based on Time Carefully.
So that All the clips combined would fit within the available Memory to a 32 Bit App.


So the 32 Bit App Memory limit really doesn't become an Issue till you start to play More then 5 4K sized clips at a time.


The Issue you describe using Music, would not be a Memory issue, so much as a CPU processor Issue.

Streaming of the Clips allow the Clip to Start to play once enough of it has been loaded into Memory.
But Now you are also putting a higher Load on the CPU. Backfill the Memory and PLay the CLip and Music

Turning off Streaming of the Clip, might add a short delay, as the Entire Clip must be Loaded into Memory before it begins to Play. But that reduce the CPU load a bit..

Also, Playing a 4K clip on a Non-4K screen eats up TONS of CPU cycles.
Every frame of the Clip has to be Reduced in Size to fit your Screen.

So the same that has been said many times before applies.
Use the Clip Resolution that Best fits your Screen Size.

This will make the Best use of your CPU cycles.
Resizing gets very Hungry. That is the same for Up sizing or Down sizing the clip.

the bottom of the GUI appear for a second and then are gone

That to me sounds like an ad / popup blocker at work...

Bug?

The last few days when I log in and the scratch game appears, the mechanisms to actually play the game at the bottom of the GUI appear for a second and then are gone. So I have no way to play.


I'm just reporting this a possible bug. I have no desire to play this game again.

Well 10 of the 12 Talents of The Month had a best selling show....... 😎
Good job picking them @Totem 👍

I was wondering........just wondering.......what if @Totem wanted to name a Talent of The Year ??
Could you pick one (poll ?).......... to be honest I could narrow it down to 3, maybe 4, but still could not decide..........

Thank You @celine for this info 😎

Currently the App itself is developed as a 32 bit app.
It can use a Maximum of 4GB of ram.

So you will need 4GB of Ram Free for the iStripper app to use.
above and beyond what all other apps are using.

a system with 8GB of ram should be ok.


When / If the App is released as a 64bit App
I would say that 8GB Ram for the App will be sufficient.

So a system with 12GB or 16GB or ram.

Thank you for sharing this information. That explains a lot.

The work computer has 64 GB RAM and the laptop 12 GB RAM.

Clips with just video mostly work fine without slow down.
But as soon as audio is playing as well some clips start noticeable to slow down.

und ???
2020 wird noch schlechter ??? .....

haha, thats good! You never know...

At least I have 9 shows of the above mentioned

i am not sure what is a breastfast i would like a breastfest ^^

i like when model have a lots of stripping most than just flashing ^^

for me smallbreast prefered :)

milk and cookies :) @gkar45

Finally i got it my exclussive card 345 scratch ^^ GG me :)

@TheEmu and @gkar45 thk for answering me ^^

@trish01 - if you are referring to getting a Joker card from a scratch card then the answer is not this time. though It has been possible from some previous scratch cards.

we can get it from scratch ?

what is a joker card ? i got only regular card

scratched 300 cards no exclussive disapointed ....

I could care less about the rest of the features of a "premium membership" lolI, instead, like much the other features of my Premium membership. Above all, the discount on all new cards. And also the Joker card i got.

Think a lot of people over looked getting the Joker card. I acquired all the new SECs without using mine but it's still nice to know if a new one comes out and I don't want to jump through hoops I don't have to. And the additional discount is another cherry on top.

Yeah! My personal fav is Avery. Can't get enough of her)) Glad to know that she took the place among best sellers and TOTM in 2019))

I could care less about the rest of the features of a "premium membership" lol

I want more joker cards please.

Glad to see the cospllay shows did well, here's hoping that it will mean we will get more of them.

well two of my top favorites making the list im happy about that :D also playing Belka's shows becuase of the talent of the month nomination :D

it is VR

I agree, however I do have a 4K display and the extra quality is worth the very small extra cost I'm paying.

I'm sure that it is...still not paying a single cent simply to watch 4K shows on my 4K TV...I wouldn't use a TV to watch shows on in the first place...a gaming monitor is much better imho but whatevz lol

And don't even get me started on 8K TV prices!!! 😆😆😆

I agree, however I do have a 4K display and the extra quality is worth the very small extra cost I'm paying.

I'd imagine you need a 4K monitor
At a scale setting above about 70% a 4K card will look a bit better than a 3K card on a 2560 X 1600 display. On a 4k display it's a whole lot better.

Well obviously...but I am not paying some ridiculous fee just for 4K resolution...I could care less about the rest of the features of a "premium membership" lol

@HombreSinSombra

Maybe you'd want to reverse the aging gene before you switch it off, you might want to still have an easy way out of this world too, it would suck living forever with brain damage or being ***** or something.

....I just wanted to make single post, not a 40+ post thread lol, just never learned to stfu.

I'm still waiting for the immortality pill. The one that switches off the aging gene. Hopefully before I'm too old and decrepit to enjoy it! 😭

@HombreSinSombra

Didn't think about how long this was even around

@gkar45

It really depends on what type of work, physical work I'd require no concentration for, but for creative work I to give it all and can be both physically and mentally exhausting, but yeah, I've worked up to 8 hours without taking a break, also hours after doing 4 hours of woodworking prior (I'm unable to work a full week for personal reasons I'm not willing to go into), it's not a job it's all personal time but hopefully I can turn it into a career someday, it's art though so no money to be made unless you become famous somehow, maybe I should paint porn, I heard sex sell haha.

It's great to see that all shapes and sizes have proved popular this year, hopefully bodes well for diverstity in 2020.

I second this.

maybe this software is less popular with people my age, or older people tend to post more?

Possibly. But I vaguely remember a few years ago there was a survey done by a member on ages of members. If memory serves, it was a fairly balanced spread from 18 to almost dead 😉 I guess most of us start early and never stop. I certainly won't unless I one day go completely blind 😕

Questions:

Are these the best sellers in order?

Are these the best selling models, or the best selling shows? I'm guessing models, because no model repeats?

Celine, thanks for posting. The business end of Istripper is fascinating to me.

In years past, there were promotions of discounts off shows from the prior year, not including the shows in the year end advent calendar. I would hope to see such a promo again. :)

Actually I'm guessing shows. Li Moon appears twice on the same line. 4th line down.

would it not be nice & wonderful thing if Carolina Apiril won Employee of the month of Feb

She gets my vote 😍

sorry, to hear this...

It's no problem really, I think this type of entertainment messes with anyone's productivity really, I tend to paint 5-6 hours on a day if I have the time and energy but in order to do that I need to reach a flow state, so that's why. I need to turn off my devices once in a while and practice my patience, that's all.

Well - Kaisa Nord upgraded to 4k interestingly uses less memory (around 400mB) but processor usage goes up to 50-80%.

Which gives me Kaisa in slo-mo whether I want it or not.

Time to buy a new processor!

At the least a 9th Gen Intel or a 2nd Gen Ryzen. Everything else is obselete and probably won't be too future proof. The 1st gen Ryzen stuff will be super cheap but don't buy it. It took the fight to Intel for multi core but the single core performance just isn't there and I always had weird lagging on my 1700X no matter what I did.

I have a 4 core /8 thread Ryzen 5 2500U I can throw iStripper on and see how it handles 4K on 1080p display.

Preview clips are a requirement of how iStipper promotes the cards that are on Sale in the store.
Every card on Sale must have Preview clips.

During shooting of the show, there may not be footage that can be used to create a level 1 preview clip.

So any clip designated as a preview clip with Above Level 1 content will be classified as Level 2, regardless of the actual Level content it might contain.

Level 1 clips are the only level that will not have content above it's level designation.
( there is a Level 0 designation, but no card to date has been released with level 0 clips )

While it doesn't happen often,
there are some preview clips that do exceeded Level 2 Content,
but they can only be classified at most, as level 2.

The Team does it's best to make sure that No Level 1 classified clip, contains content Higher then level 1.
And the Team does it's best to properly classify the other clips to match the Content Level.
But on clips of Level 2 and Higher, it is not as strict.

The Level classifications above level 1,
are approximations of,
what is the Maximum Content level that can be expected to be seen.

The Words assigned to the Levels are just that, a word to to describe what might be in that level.
there are actually, a written set of guidelines that describe what content fits into which level.
and the Guidelines go beyond just that single word.

iStipper could have just called Level 2, Level 2, with no descriptive word..
but it is easier to understand and call it Topless,
even if level 2 encompasses more than just topless nudity.


Hope this helps to understand the different level classifications.

Kaisa Nord

Wonderful hall of fame. 2019 was a great year. May 2020 be even better 👌

I know for a fact that a great many of the iStripperXXX cards from the earlier generations (this was especially the case when duos were king the second or third year or so since the XXX cards' introduction) have demo clips that are accurately classified.

It's not at all clear to me why the functionality would have to change for later collections but not retroactively.

If that is indeed built into the code, it's a terrible functionality idea, as it conflicts with the ability to accurately set the displayed "Levels of eroticism" setting in the Desktop section of the settings (uncheck "Progressive hotness" to activate).

Además, los espectáculos se alinearon en Elis y Anastasia Brokelyn

No será tan difícil, ya tenemos Carolina Abril en nuestros estudios hoy :-P

The amount of Memory used depends on 3 things.
Resolution of the clip
Length of the clip in seconds
Streaming of the clip

If the Last two, are the same

then an Increase in Resolution will cause an increase in the amount of memory used.

Currently the App itself is developed as a 32 bit app.
It can use a Maximum of 4GB of ram.

So you will need 4GB of Ram Free for the iStripper app to use.

Thanks Popeyed. I've been looking at the performance stats and with iStripper open it is taking 5% CPU and 580mB memory. With one girl up and running that has gone to 25-45% CPU and 800 mB RAM. I'll try upgrading a card to 4K, run it and look at the stats - which may point to what power I need.

Again - thanks for your input.
