@Chicsans No I hadn't changed it, but thanks for the tip. I use only one external drive for iStripper, of course, but even if I always use the same USB port for it, for some reason my system sometimes makes it a G-drive and some other times H-drive.

I googled a bit, and finally managed to find "Disk Management", where I could change my external drive's letter to G: (it was H: at the moment...).

This was nice bit of info, thanks again. I only have three external drives in total, so I can pick the drive letters for the other two later on.

Is there a planned scheule for VR releases?

Here is the image showing the contents of zip archive (as a reference).

Unfortunately, some files may be considered dangerous by some anti-viruses. These files are:

• batbox.exe
• bc.exe
• cursorSize.exe

These files are not a threat. To avoid moving these files to quarantine, add them to the list of exceptions. I will not say how to do it, because it may look different depending on the antivirus program.

Thanks to the batbox.exe and cursorSize.exe tools, it is possible to build more user-friendly interfaces in the console window. The bc.exe program is used to perform calculations that go beyond the capabilities of the cmd command processor (cmd is standard in every Windows system).


@Dfner, @Chicsans
I have to admit, there is one case that I forgot to test: when there is a path saved under the ModelsPath in Windwos registry, but the path didn't exist because user has moved his whole collection somewhere else, he deleted the old directory but he didn't removed the old path from iStripper settings.

Two things to do:
1. Fix the above bug.
2. Add the possibility of defining custom target path by the user if there is no default path.

Thank you both very much.

EDIT:

Could you perhaps change the installer so that it checks the folder from your GUI settings, or, if there is more than one folder set (as in my case), the installer would prompt user to enter the path?

iStripper saves all paths in the system registry. Preview Downloader reads these paths and decides where the files will be saved. If the user has defined several directories (multipath), Preview Downloader will check if there is a "x0123" subfolder in any directory for the currently processed show. If it exists, Preview Downloader will check if the disk has enough space to save the files. If it doesn't exist, then Preview Downloader will look for another directory and choose the one located on the disk with the largest amount of free space.

I'd pay double for doubleing time please Like the Li Moon one... it's really short insomuch as she uses 90% of the clock teasing. More play more pay hehe

I read it more as standard legal boilerplate. They are required to "warn" you... if things go awry, it's your fault! :)

@Dfner , have you assigned a drive letter to your external drive using the disk management tool in Windows?

Thanks @kaiju!

When the issue is giving us shows with better quality through new software version, please feel free to "threaten" us all you want! 😀

I'll download the new version now, and I'm very much looking forward to the new show tomorrow.

The desired device for viewing is a set of VR headwear;

This works in conjunction with any mobile telephone to give a passable VR experience...

... more expensive VR technology is available.

If, like me, you lack the necessary... parts to make a VR experience work @wyldanimal gave a good player that works on your desktop.

Thanks for tip about antivirus. That indeed was the reason, and batbox.exe was not in the data-folder. I use McAfee Livesafe and it had moved at least some of the files (including batbox.exe) into quarantine. I disabled McAfee, then downloaded the zip again and extracted it, and now it worked further in the installation.

But then I was halted with the same issue as @Chicsans: the installer couldn't find .../vghd/models -folder, and that's because my shows are on the external drive. In GUI settings I have set the folders only as "G:\iStr\Shows" and "H:\iStr\Shows" (because sometimes my PC assigns drive G: and sometimes H: to my external drive...)

Is there a way through this obstacle? Could you perhaps change the installer so that it checks the folder from your GUI settings, or, if there is more than one folder set (as in my case), the installer would prompt user to enter the path?

"You won't be able to watch the new shows......" sounds pretty threatening to me.

Whatever, I don't trust anything that the OP of this thread writes anyway.

The new Crystal Clear+ quality videos are encoded with a new codec (and that's why there are much better). This is the reason why older versions of the software can not read the new format.

No intention to appear threatening here, just the desire to offer you the best quality possible, even if it requires a mandatory update :)

Ok, there is no threat, but I am not happy at all about such a news which is, de facto, a mandatory update.
Even less about planned automatic updates of the software.

ok, downloaded it now. I'm curious how the new cards will look.

Will you implement a VR feature inside the programm in the future? Maybe an overlay for the real room, like it is now an overlay for the desktop?
HTC Vive has a camera, so there should be a way to do something like this ( I don't know if there is any access to the camera input for your developers. But I like the idea of have an Istripper girl overlay, of my living room. That would be a great use of VR
Well ok it would be more like augmented reality, instead of virtual reality (and this is something that no one else offers atm)

As far as I understand right now I have to download VR clips to my harddrive and watch it in Deo. Thats not different to download any other clip (for example on a pornside that offer VR Girl solo scenes) so I don't think you will make very much money with it, because there are too much other companys offering the same stuff.

"You won't be able to watch the new shows......" sounds pretty threatening to me.

Whatever, I don't trust anything that the OP of this thread writes anyway.

There was no “Threat” and this sort of software update is not unprecedented.

Also......
Yes, we need the update no matter what resolution of the shows we download.

Hello guys!

A new version of istripper is available to download!
This new version is very important if you want to be able to read all upcoming shows.

What's new?

The main reason why we release a new version of iStripper is that we have upgraded our production chain and created a better quality, named, "Crystal Clear+"!

This new quality features :
Natural tones and accurate colors. 256 levels of transparency (instead of 8).A significant improvement of sharpness and details in the picture.
The first CrystalClear+ quality show will be released on Thursday, May 23th (card #e1208).

And the great news is that this significant improvement won't cost you more! The price of CrystalClear+ quality shows will remain the same as for Crystal Clear quality shows.

IMPORTANT : Crystal Clear+ quality can only be read with version 1.2.228 and above! You won't be able to watch the new shows released in Crystal Clear+ with older versions of iStripper.

I take it then, from the threatening words written that this is a '***** update' to the latest version and it will be required to view any card after e1208.

Does this apply to the cards starting at e1208 that are downloaded in 720p

Thanks for all the replies and the clarification that it is tomorrow

The first CrystalClear+ quality show will be released on Thursday, May 24th (card #e1208).Quick question is the first "CrystalClear +" show released Thursday (23rd) or Friday (24th)?

Thursday, the 23th - tomorrow :)

Running the install program changed the entire website into French!I'd better get out my translator...

My bad, the download link was redirecting to the french version of istripper.com . But it did not affect the language chosen in the software. I just changed it.

do you have to have some kind of equipment to view these?

it said the 24th thats friday

The first CrystalClear+ quality show will be released on Thursday, May 24th (card #e1208).

Quick question is the first "CrystalClear +" show released Thursday (23rd) or Friday (24th)?

There it is... thanks! :)

@shodan084 Running the install program changed the entire website into French!I'd better get out my translator...

didn't see it since it's already in french for me.
On the bottom of the page, you can change the language to...English Français Español Deutsch Русский Polski 日本語 中文

Running the install program changed the entire website into French!

I'd better get out my translator...

Sound great.
This new "Crystal Clear+" quality is surely still available in all resolution ?

Do we get discounts on VR shows?

Do we get discounts on the VR shows?

Sounds good to me! Thank you. 😎

There are some bug fixes too :

• A bug that makes the network not always work on Windows XP and Windows 7.
• A bug that displays an error if there is no room available on screen when you start a show in multigirl.
• A bug that prevents full screen filters from working on all categories.
• A bug that makes few piece of clips appear on the edge of the screen, only on multi-screen setup.

Download and installation.

Link for Windows:
https://www.istripper.com/fileaccess/software/windows

Link for MAC:
https://www.istripper.com/fileaccess/software/mac

Download and run the install without uninstalling your current version.

IMPORTANT : Crystal Clear+ quality can only be read with version 1.2.228 and above! You won't be able to watch the new shows released in Crystal Clear+ with older versions of iStripper.

Thank you for info. Let's see...

@Dfner
From what i see the script can't find the path to the batbox.exe file. Batbox.exe is a helper that allows user to extend functionality of the console with things such as, for example, coloring the window content or creating interactive buttons. As a pretty large part of this type of helpers, some antivirus programs may treat it as a trojan or unwanted software. Try this:

1. Unpack the archive.
2. Go to the unzipped content and open the data folder.
3. Check if the batbox.exe exists.
4. If the batbox.exe does not exist, it is quite possible that the antivirus program moved it to quarantine.
5. If so, try temporarily deactivate the antivirus, unpack the contents of the downloaded archive and run setup again.

Let me know what antivirus you use.
Later, I will try to post a picture with full content of the arcjive. At least we will be able to check if content of the zip isn't modified by any antivirus software.

@R2D34ever2

The software was changed several times over time.

Some time ago, the shows and the previews were displayed in the section of my collection. During this time you could also have more than seven previews and could also delete the previews.

Later, a new section was created for the preview in the software. Since that time you can only have seven previews and it is not possible to delete these previews yourself.

###

You have taken three steps of which you have forgotten the first two steps.

Step 1: The preview of a show has been downloaded.
Step 2: The preview has been deleted.
Step 3: The show was bought.

###

If a show is deleted in the GUI (Graphic User Interface - Software), then a file is created there to be able to recognize this action.

In the section Girls store the deletion of a preview is not displayed.

By buying the show the two stickers "Clips deleted" and "NEW" are displayed. After the download, the file responsible for the "Clips deleted" display will be deleted.

I get the error that reads that the models folder is not found. It's true that I don't have the models folder n the C:\ drive with the 'bin' and 'data' folders in the vghd directory folder. My models live all alone on an external F drive. They were moved there by the GUI when iStripper was still VirtuagirlHD in the way back when of 2013.

I have no idea how the models get from the external drive to the iStripper program and eventually onto my monitor, nor, to be honest, do I really care. But it would be handy to be able to tell the 'preview downloader' where the models live so that the missing previews can be restored.

yes keep them coming :D haven't had the chance to view it yet but its on my HDD ready to view :)

Thank you very much for creating this tool! I haven't lost any demos yet (knocks on wood), but it sure is nice to know that there is a tool which makes it possible to download them again, if necessary.

However, I encountered problems when trying to run setup.bat (didn't make a difference whether I was administrator or not). See pictures above. By pressing enter I could move at least until "Choose Installation Path" even with this error, but didn't proceed any further than that, just in case, and back pedalled with "Esc" to Welcome-screen. With every enter press, the number or error lines increased.

No buttons were created ("Next" and "Cancel") on the console, neither was the "Quit" action on the right corner.

I circled the section of the path that looks odd to me with red pen.

Hopefully this is something easy to fix or maybe I need to change something in my system before it can work?

this week I have been amking a lot off use of the redraw pack..
I noticed it let me buy showws I already owned.
I don't think this is how it should work.
Is there a way for me to check how often this has
happened ?
I noticed this another time also but in between I had to reinstal my windows again because of an unfiendly virus and had to download more then half of my shows due to a HDD faillure..
So the above screencap is the only one I have ..

And now for something completely different.

Users have often lost demo clips by some strange algorithm hidden in the iStripper code. When free previews on the disc reach a certain size, iStripper deletes all previews (.demo files). The previews included in the purchased shows are also deleted. I know that this is annoying for many users (I'm one of them).

Updating the entire collection is very cumbersome and can consume a lot of time, transfer... and patience. You can update your shows one by one, but it requires a lot of clicking, sometimes iStripper updates the entire show instead of just downloading the demo files (especially in older shows) and you can't play the show while updating.

I decided to do something about it.

I knew that it is possible to download only the previews without having to update the entire show. So I decided to create a tool that will automate the process.

And here it is: Preview Downloader (v1.0)

With this tool you can (quote from manual):

• Update previews of purchased shows - download free previews of only those shows that are in your collection (full shows have been purchased).
• Update previews of non purchased shows - download free previews of only those shows that are not in your collection (full shows have not been purchased).
• Update previews of all shows - download free previews of all shows, regardless of whether they are in your collection or not.
• Update previews of selected shows - downloading free previews of shows selected by you.
• Continue previous session - resume the previous session if it was interrupted.
• Set the disk space for previews - change the amount of disk space reserved for free previews.

This tool has been tested on Windows XP, 7 and 10, but should work with Windows Vista and 8 as well.

If anyone's interested, the program can be downloaded from here:

Requirements: www.isworkshop.eu/index.php?p=preview_downloader_req
Manual: www.isworkshop.eu/index.php?p=preview_downloader_manual

TRIVIA:
Did you know that with this tool you can download all missing previews with just 5 clicks?

NOTES:
1. Inspired by this thread (especially posts #596751 by @Wyldanimal and #605106 by @DestinationSeekr):
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/40547/1

2. Because I'm not a professional programmer, the only thing I could do was to create a batch file (.bat). Who knows, maybe someday I will learn some normal programming language (C or Java). For now, the Windows scripting language must be enough for me

3. Any information about bugs found are welcome.

Nikky's Case:

Enough evidence has shown that no matter where Nikky goes... she will always be with us in our hearts! 💖

Keep them coming!

You're pumping those VR shows out! :)

Did you check Francys' backstage posted this morning ?
Lovely beauty, isn't she ? :-P

If you can't wait to get her on your desktop, then get her VR show now!
It's available from the "VR" section of your iStripper software or directly here: https://www.istripper.com/vr180/detail/b77efd6b082f7226

Enjoy !!!

great job 👍 with valeria borghese😍

YES! Please, please, please...

Five more years of Nikky?... It's a no brainer! ;)

I think, I'm in love. Valeria Borghese is just the kind of woman I'm very fond of 💖💖

The only thing about ***** dvds is after about 5 years they are not totally reliable. But even with a HDD or even a SSD after using so many years would just replace to be on the safe side.

thanks!

You could always ***** them to a CD or DVD. It would be cheaper... if things go really amiss, they will be right there.

great suggestions @Wyldanimal at first I was using dropbox to keep my favorites stored on the cloud but since I only have 1TB I decided to just watch the forums and upload the ones that are no longer available. I have 2 external HDD's one that is used alot and 1 that I make weekly copies to and is rarely used and when one fails I still have another to use until I buy another backup external

Where is Nikky sailing off to? We will miss you Nikky baby! 💔


Edit by Mod:
We mods will need to remove all photos of Nikky that we come across. Starting with the one which was posted here.
