Thanks @Spiderman in another thread for this:

To disable previews in this new version, right click a playing clip to open the wheel menu. Then click the check mark once or maybe twice and the preview should be then disabled. Sorry but this appears to be the only way to do it for now. But it DOES work :)

As you can see from the wheel menu on my screen I don't have that option. Can't find that option.......Although after posting it and starting to post this reply the solution hit me in the face. /ouch

For others having the same problem go to Settings > Controls > Contextual Menu and select enable/disable

Disabled all of mine and returned to my usual control options. Thanks :)

what a first girl deskbabes ?

This update about previews is a worst idea yet. I don't want them downloading if I don't click on it.

I get how to turn off the preview pusher but how do you stop downloaded previews from playing?

Have the same annoying problem.

7 previews downloaded that I don't want that keep replacing one of my models. Was going to add more to this but can't be bothered, simple is quick and does the same.

Give us a
activate/deactive when right clicking,
clips icon on model page (disable clip their)
automatic play preview push clips in settings
or any other ways to disable them playing please!

I ***** this new feature, who thought this was a good idea? I had a few previews saved as I want them to buy later but now they are gone. Have to save as wishlist now, but I too want to disable previews and how to delete the ones that I downloaded?

That's my understanding too :)

Sorry if I misled anyone with the beta downloads in Bugs & Fixes. I assumed they would still work.

For a long time now, I've downloaded and stored each new beta installer in a folder on my external drive and can switch between any of these versions at will. (Takes around 10 seconds to switch)

I've also advised doing this a number of times in the past. When a new beta or official release comes out, don't just click, 'Run'. Click 'Save As' and create a folder just for storing iStripper software. Each new release is around 25 MB. (Rename the download file to the release version number).

Here's a screencap of my (heavily edited) iS software folder...

If I'm not breaking any rules, anyone who wants one of these versions, PM me with your email addy and I can send you the installer file :)

@kaiju

The photo manager ( icon top right in the chat box ) is still not working. Only if I use a browser.

Idea for next update: a possibility to send a card to a friend. I pay - friend can download.

I'd like to decide for the location where IS saves the models.
Yes, I know, I can add an additional drive path ( e.g. external hard disk), but the software decides where to save. The collection is split.

Have a nice weekend!

So.. I found a couple of locked topics in Bugs & Fixes section with download links for beta versions.. each named with version number:

https://www.istripper.com/binary/beta/1_2_140/setup-istripper.exe
https://www.istripper.com/binary/beta/1_2_144/setup-istripper.exe
https://www.istripper.com/binary/beta/1_2_146/setup-istripper.exe

PC versions. All on page 3 or 4. But there is no download link for version 1.2.148. The following link is edited by myself:

https://www.istripper.com/binary/beta/1_2_148/setup-istripper.exe

But the downloaded file shows version 158 then. So I think they have no setup for version 148.

I also tryed to delete the /beta part out of the link.. but then it will download the new version 158 automatically.

And I'm not sure if the above beta versions are the same as the release versions. Could someone answer that?

@staff

Please add a download for version 148.

see this thread.
https://www.istripper.com/forum#/forum/thread/35008/1

Version 1.2.148 was never released as a beta.
it was a New Release.
Since there wasn't a beta there is no Archive of the Install files. Unless you Kept a copy on your Computer.

using the Link in the Release thread will Download the Most Current Release. 1.2.158

try the Internet Archive Here:

Another bonus from previews are.. all not-downloaded previews are somehow new and unseen. Please tell me.. if the preview tab will delete all your previews except 7.. how to check if you already have seen a not-downloaded preview? Impossible!

ANSWER:
If you Add a card to the Previews, and it Pops up instantly without downloading, then you know you Already saw them Once before.

This leads us to a following negative: You need to re-download the same shows again and again. Maybe by automatic download of the preview tab ( I know you can disable it ). Or just to check if you like it or not..

ANSWER:
I guess you haven't been paying attention:
The Previously Downloaded Previews are not Removed from your Hard Drive
20GB of HD space is allowed to be used by Previews, before any of them are Deleted.

And here is another negative: If I find a show which I like.. I go to details, and the list of other shows of this model. Then I went through all of her shows.. from first to last.. from last to first.. to check if I like them or not. Some of them I add to wishlist to buy them on weekend. This is also not longer possible.. if this model has more as 7 previews. If you reach the last show and went back through the list to the first.. you start over with downloading the previews.

ANSWER:
Even if a model has 30 Shows. You can go through All the Shows. If you find one you think you like, add it to your Wishlist. When you reach the end, you can go backwards and re-preview the Same shows and you DO NOT have to re-download them. One on your HD they Stay there till you reach the Storage Limit of 20GB.

20GB of my hard drive!
In a future update: you will be able to adjust this Size by a registry setting.

Look,
REX already told us that there are 100,000's of Free users just downloading and watching previews.
And that iStripper can't stay in business to pay bandwidth for all the Free Users.

So this is the way it is..

7 Previews in the window at a time.
You can Add one any time, and the Oldest one, is pushed off the list..
up to 20GB of Space is used to Store all the previously Viewed previews.
So if you add a card you already saw, it is NOT re-downloaded again, and again...

If you have purchased One Card, then you can Control how Often NEW previews are Served to your Preview List.
you can Even turn it OFF.

And in a Future update, you will be able to Set the Size limit of How Much Storage space is Used.

this is my Understanding of how it all works...

Dillion is looking very cute with that hairstyle.

@Number6

When they introduced the "Wishlist" I couldn't see the problem.

The problem is..

A downloaded preview shows me.. that I already have seen this show ( the demo, of course ). Probably I have rejected the show for a reason. Maybe I have rejected the outfit or the girl. Maybe I found better shows to purchase. Maybe I thought the show is simply not worth the money. [**]

The wishlist is for shows I want buy in the near future. Usually I randomly start iStripper couple of times a week and mark some shows for wishlist. On weekend I buy credits.. check for news.. check for weekend deals.. add more shows for wishlist.. and buy as much shows from wishlist as my credits allow.

But now the developers ***** us to "missuse" the wishlist feature just to keep previews up. It's not just the missuse of the feature. It is also that we have to spam the wishlist with shows we don't want buy. This is somehow ironic.. "wishlist" and "unwanted shows". [**]

[**] You could say "why you want keep previews of unwanted shows". The simple answer is: iStripper gives us no alternative for that. There is no filter which let us ban shows or girls or categories out of the carussel, the store or the preview tab. You can select some categories in the store, okay.. but carussel and preview tab will ignore that completely. And there is no way to mark a show in carussel or in the store for "I don't want see this show".

Another bonus from previews are.. all not-downloaded previews are somehow new and unseen. Please tell me.. if the preview tab will delete all your previews except 7.. how to check if you already have seen a not-downloaded preview? Impossible!

This leads us to a following negative: You need to re-download the same shows again and again. Maybe by automatic download of the preview tab ( I know you can disable it ). Or just to check if you like it or not..

This is also not longer possible.. if this model has more as 7 previews. If you reach the last show and went back through the list to the first.. you start over with downloading the previews.

The developers break & missuse their own features and cut an important part away from our capabilities.

Sorry.. if you can't see a problem here. It's no question that the developers / publishers / models need to be paid for their work.. and that users who missuse these previews and not do any purchases should be "punished" somehow.

But for me.. it's no-go. I would upgrade to check how this really works.. only if I have a setup for 1.2.148 in hands for downgrade. But if this feature comes as they wrote here.. this is reason for me to stop any further purchases!

I get how to turn off the preview pusher but how do you stop downloaded previews from playing?

TBH I have been using the beta's and this limitation has been going on for a while.

I had similar arguments - I have 2700+ cards (at the time ) why should I be limited, etc. When they introduced the "Wishlist" I couldn't see the problem. Yes some people ***** that the Wishlist wasn't working but I have seen a post recently saying that this has been fixed.

So with wishlists and demos that can be assigned at any time - why do you need access to unlimited playable previews?

If you are away for a few days then you can download a weeks worth of previews. If you are unsure about a girl you can put her on a wishlist and go back to the preview at a later time, if you wish.

In the original VG software you could only preview girls that were on the carousel and these were put there by Totem. Now you have a choice.

Totem said at the very beginning that if people ***** the system they would review it. People have obviously been abusing it and so Totem is hitting back.

Even with the changes the system is far more flexible that the original VG software - give it a chance.

So.. I found a couple of locked topics in Bugs & Fixes section with download links for beta versions.. each named with version number:

https://www.istripper.com/binary/beta/1_2_140/setup-istripper.exe

@StrammerMax:

From Alexisg 2 days ago in Bugs & Fixes Beta release of 1.2.158:

"The limitation to 7 Free Previews at a time can not be changed as we believe that 7 was a good number of girls to remains in the “I want tot see her on my desktop because I might purchase her show”. If you need to bookmark more girls than that for your future purchases, we added the Wishlist feature, where you can store as many girls as you want and re-download (or re-add, see next paragraph) them as many times as you want.

As you might also know, Free Previews are not immediately deleted from your hard drive when they disappear. We manage a buffer of 20Gb of them before they get deleted. This is how we can afford to offer unlimited Free Preview download to so many users every day through P2P. This comes handy when re-downloading the Free Preview of a girl you already had in the Preview Tab as the download will be instant.

Users with at least one purchase will be able (not in this beta) to set the size of the Free Previews buffer to their like editing the registry."

They are NOT wiped from your hard drive. You can simply go into the Girls Store, select a card you probably already downloaded and when the pop-out window opens, click the preview button twice. If the demos are already downloaded, they should play instantly. Works for me :)

The only reason I'm staying with 1.2.148 for now is I can't turn the demos OFF when I want to :(

(Oh, and yes I've tested this all out)

Anybody wanting to roll back to 1.2.148 or any other version still playable, they are ALL in the Bugs & Fixes area. Just scroll down the pages to find the version you want :)

Thank you again for your help. Would give you a like if this would be possible here!

Please let me know one more thing about the previews: Actually I have downloaded 50 previews.. and after upgrade to 1.2.158 there is the 7-previews-tab. If I just start iStripper and let it run through the clips.. will iStripper show just this 7 previews ( assumed I have set it to _not_ download new previews automatically ).. or will iStripper randomly show all my 50 downloaded previews as with version 1.2.148 ?

And now I will go through the bugs & fixes pages to find version 1.2.148

While I think a lot of people are jumping ship too quickly, I'd like to address several things.

The implementation is poor.

Even though this ultimately serves to disincentivize freeloading Totem's servers for demos without ever having to pay, it causes the software to be clunky to use, and quite likely especially during large discount weekends where we'd have to compare handfuls of cards due to the limit, having to toggle/re-enable cards that dropped off the 7 floating window previews.

The Wishlist is a great idea, but judging by the comments, it seems not everyone jumped on to using the Wishlist. For those that had already downloaded over a couple hundred previews, there doesn't seem to be a one-stop button to access previews 'hidden' by the software Update. Yes, you can click each model from the Wishlist and play them, it's still incredibly clunky. Those who didn't Wishlist probably find this very frustrating.

This drama may have likely been avoided if there were a button added to the 'Preview' window (or under Wishlists) to display existing downloaded previews, but have them disabled by default until played or added to the 'floating window'. There's plenty of white space around all that text and the models to put a button there to access our previews. This would allow those with numerous previews to still access their archive, while fulfilling Totem's need to cut down and disincentivize freeloading of demos.

Limiting us to 7 previews seems rather excessive, but since it was already mentioned in this thread I'll leave at that.

One final thing: it might just be me, but the 'buy 1, disable Push demos' is rather insulting. Just as it is with the blanket nerf to preview Demos, both of these changes chuck us regular customers into the same boat as those who'd buy a couple of cards, then spend the rest of the time downloading demos, with no real regard.

I will probably only do them for new girls, and probably for only one card, and for girls I buy. I work a very creative job, about 50-55 hours a week, so my creative juices are generally exhausted as well. There isn't much motivation to spend 90 minutes per review on some nights. Just depends on how fresh I am.

Will there be new guys or some of the old ones finally doing some new stuff? I really want to see more of Mickael and Jonathan Agassi

Read this carefully mark........so you realize what I'm saying is indeed the truth

Also, you should check your keyboard to see if it needs cleaning. Your M key seems to be sticking

@mark7772
I've tried to explain this to you so many times I've lost count

Copyright Material is PROHIBITED in this category
Only Totem content is allowed here in "Everything about iStripper"

I've even offered to help you understand the photo posting rules if you're ***** about something

You've disregarded my attempts to help you out and completely ignored every warning

Therefore, you've earned yourself another ban

How do I disable the preview models? I do not want them showing up

I'd like a better Understanding of How the 7 at a Time Limit, combined with the New Wishlist, is restrictive?

You can have as many cards in your wishlist as you want.
this solved the "I use the Preview to keep track of cards i might be interested in"

and the 7 at a time is a floating window. You can Add one to replace the oldest one, at ANY time, no restrictions on how many you can add.

So when you go to your Wish list, and want to re-preview one of the cards
you add it, and watch it..

If it was previously viewed, then the clips are already there. So you Don't re-download them again.

Based on the Above two Features, I am just not understanding, how it places a restriction on you?

and Third.
Any Member who has at least ONE purchased card, can Disable the Automatic downloading of New Previews.

So from my Perspective..
All the Complaints / Issues are Covered?

Please explain what I'm missing?

I don't think you can even post in this area unless you have bought at least one card...

Once you have bought one card, you can turn this off. Please stop scaremongering!

@Llander:
Pushing unwanted products has NEVER worked... Really?

VHS/Betamax... Windows/Mac... Bluray/HD Digital. Shall I go on?

Ok, I'll add another... The Model 'T' Ford. Wanted but crap. However, Mr. Ford introduced mass production and cheaper products so we could all enjoy them :/

I hope people will remember this comment when their hard drives die young because they're constantly downloading unwanted bloatware every 10 minutes.

Sounds fun. 😊

Again, to all those who don't want this limit, don not buy any more clips.

The ONLY way Totem will remove this NAZI function from the software is if they find that their sales are going DOWN because of it.

The lower sales get, the faster it will light a fire under their collective a...s to go back to a more democratic version.

If they want to increase sales, lower prices are much better. Making special offers of "packages" for a low price is nice in theory, but when the package is filled with girls you don't want, they don't get bought. period. A "build your own package" would move sales better.

Pushing unwanted products to customers has NEVER worked in the past, and will NEVER work no matter how much Totem or any other company tries.

@Spidey:

Dammit! I didn't realise that right clicking the 'wheel' and left clicking the 'check' mark would permanently disable a demo! (Might have to click it twice tho). Thank you so much for that :) It DOES work!

Now I have no excuse to not stay with 1.2.158 :D

Would have been nice to have had an answer earlier from the Team on this one. I've mentioned it at least 3 times before now :(

I can't wait until the 14th.

Viola hot sexi. mmmmm

@StrammerMax

When Totem first raised the subject of allowing customers to download previews of their choice, I suggested that they keep it simple and have no limits. My argument was that it was the simplest programming approach and they should give it a try. Many of us (forum members) suggested approaches similar to yours that increased the preview limit base on either the total number of purchases or the number of recent purchases. That would be much harder to implement in the software than a fixed limit like the current 7. I suspect with all the bad feedback they are getting Totem will be rethinking this issue, but any change will require a significant change to the iStripper application so even it they decide to make a change it will be a while before we see it.

Although I read about this feature coming to future a update of the iStripper software sometime I think last year. I had no idea when it was coming. I unfortunately updated on one of my systems and "lost" all of my previews which I used as my wishlist. I believe the same as others here that this limiting feature should be directed towards those who just created an account and not towards those like myself who purchase monthly. I would also like to mention that during every update of the software my previews get "lost". So please add a feature that lets the software scan my computer for local files that can be re-added to the software. I don't have the time to start a diary just to remember which cards I've reviewed. It's time consuming and frustrating. Also, please find some better videographers because I and other have stated many times the quality of the video clips with over saturation, or just totally off color settings is another reason your sales are going down. People want quality, and if your clips are making it past "Quality Control" and out to servers where all of us can see the clear LACK of Quality Control it does little to inspire us to purchase those cards. Also, it then takes YOU a while before you respond to our messages that something is wrong, and then it take YOU longer to go back and TRY to fix the problem that should have NEVER made it past a Quality Control check. I have waited for some cards to be fixed for quite a while and I know from personal experience that it prevented me from purchasing those cards which later I did purchase but the waiting really put me off. This problem is happening from both the US and European studios. Listen to your customers and check your work multiple times before sending it out. Check your camera/video equipment settings, do a color calibration check, check the clips to make sure that the videos came out without artifacts in them, check to see if they come close to the photos representing the video clips, and finally one last check from a person to say YES, these all match up and can be bundled together and sent off to the servers. I see YouTubers put out higher quality videos and I don't pay them directly large sums of money. I and others I'm sure feel that YOU can do better and MUST do better to earn our trust and with that our hard earned money.

Bitte mehr Girls mit großer Oberweite. Es ist hier ziemlich ''flach''.

Vielen Dank im voraus

there is no xxx shows this week? :(

bad

Is it just me or is there no discount? Just wanted to get Pammie Lees show but it's still full price for me.

EDIT: nvm, now it works

New version is available. Good. Long time ago was Chat? How with Chat Today?

Shyla Jennings

No can has delete...can has PUSH now!

Thanks for the temp fix.

How I can delete preview now? It download automatically, and I don't need it.

I agree. What happened? its been a month.

Is that 'little something' for us an Estonika show? I can't wait!!!!

Can I have mine covered in chocolate, strawberries, whipped cream, and hearts? ;)

A two girls special, licking each other of these things would be superb.
Even one girl speading some on her body would be erotic.
We will see the Valentine day special...in a few days.
I hope Totem deliver.

It's been a while since the last review. Any future ones coming in the pipeline? I, like others I am
Sure, are yearning for more.
