Now I do have an idea how to fix this, thanks to DuckDuckGo and Stack Overflow. Posting it here for me to find later and for other to maybe find useful:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22745076/libpng-warning-iccp-known-incorrect-srgb-profile

That 6-clip (with 3 shadows) scene I built today came up randomly and my memory usage shot up to 1GB! haha Then, after it switched to another scene that I made that only has one clip, it dropped to 170MB. So, yeah. More clips = more resource usage. Makes sense. 😊

But in that 6-clip scene, I see an error that I have seen in some of my other scenes:

libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

I have no idea how to fix this. I use GIMP to edit my backgrounds, but it doesn't happen with all of my scenes. I'm wondering if it has to do with the source photos that I acquire from the Internet? Anyone know about this?

Huh. I'll be damned. I had no idea you could do that.

No problem, glad to help out 😎

This is off topic, but I'll Answer it...
You can Update you cards to a higher resolution, all at once, or in small Batches.
I recommend, doing them in Small Batches. 10 or 20 at a time.

Start with your collection disabled.
after you select them. Enable them, so you know which have already been updated.

Then use the Resolution drop down to select the new Resolution.

I've prepared this demo on my laptop.
I didn't click YES because I don't want to update my Resolution on my Lap top..

But I think you can follow along and get the Idea,

To Use CTRL-A to Select ALL
click in the Blank space between the cards first, then tap CTRL-A

@sh42n81
Thankyou 😉, that scene had so many layer / order lessons in it, was invaluable lessons at the time when I made it, ***** my brain hahaha. Yeah just cut out the ones you dont want. It was early scene making days for me but should've made a couple of different variants ( 1, 2, 3 girls) ...but, eh

Thanks.

Are the scratch game odds posted anywhere in the app?
I wouldn't mind buying a few to try and get an event card I missed, but if it is .1% or something stupid I won't bother.

Thanks

@TokyoHome

The scratch game odds are not posted anywhere in the forum. The odds of you getting a "Special Event Card" are usually very low. But you can build up your collection with other random cards you can win.

@Carstrip

That "Lush Motel" scene I made struggles to play big time. Looks amazing but too much!

Not for me! I removed one of the clips so now it's just the pole and the bed, and it plays great! 😀😀😀😀
(Lush is one of my favorite scenes.)

@Grabandt !!!! bahahahaha the nose knows all, buried inside one is another story 😂

@sh42n81 & @Wyldanimal
Wonder if its something to do with the recent iSripper upgrade? I dont mind having errors that much if the scene still plays, but its interesting. It wont be @TheEmu scene issues, something has changed somewhere that disagrees with that style of scene.

(Cabin Fever (3 + TV on) is running right now. Going to check CPU usage and the log....so it's using about 8% of my CPU and 300MB of memory. Those decode errors are constant and looks like it just happens on every scene.

So, @TheEmu 's Prison Ship "Celebration" scene just came on, and I'm still seeing all those decode errors. If that's happening with his scenes, there's nothing I'm going to be able to do to my own scenes to avoid it.

The Celebration scene features 12 clips, but I cut it down to 6. It also has an animated star field moving past the window. My CPU is at 19% and memory use is up to 900MB. But the scene is playing fine, and I'm still able to navigate in other apps and type this post with no issues. The only time the scene bogs down at all is a brief hitch when one clip ends and another begins, but that happens literally with every scene. With six clips, it happens a little more often than average, of course.

@Wyldanimal will know the answer to that one. When I decided to upgrade to 3K I filtered the resolution in my collection and clicked on each show, but back then I only had 400 shows. You have over 4500 shows!, there will be an easy trick he will know how to do it 😉

@sh42n81
Yeah thats why I said I wont make scenes with more than 4 max from now on, especially if there are scenes with 6 or more and shaders and buffers and shadows and relections blah blah blah. A lot of people only want one show on the screen, and sometimes so do I, thats why I made a few like that, they work beautifully, That "Lush Motel" scene I made struggles to play big time. Looks amazing but too much! Besides, how many pairs of boobs can you really watch at the same time!! hahahaha Mind blown hahahaha
@Gbrandt
I tend to take out scenes when I'm not using them (or having a break from them) but dont worry, there are plenty scenes coming from everyone so you'll have plenty to add to your collection! Its all a great insight into how quickly programming improves, shame that our computers wont upgrade themselves at the same rate hahaha. 12 Core!!! too funny, wont be long 😂

I did a few searches but could not find anything.

@Carstrip

I'm now making scenes with no more than 4 shows in them (3 is best) to stop this happening, especially those with lower powered systems, they wouldnt even play 😕

tbh, Although I like a lot of your scenes, I have been known to go through and cut the number of models in half. Not only is 6 models too much for my computer, it's too much for my brain. 3 or fewer is good to me. That said, I just finished a scene that I spent all day building, which absolutely needs 6 clips to make sense. 😀

(Cabin Fever (3 + TV on) is running right now. Going to check CPU usage and the log....so it's using about 8% of my CPU and 300MB of memory. Those decode errors are constant and looks like it just happens on every scene. I'm using an HP Z400 workstation from 2009 with 2 Xeon CPUs, 9GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA Quadro NVS295 graphics card on Windows 10.)

For me, the best gauge of a scene's performance is: does it run without bogging down, and can I perform other tasks while it does? If it works on this PC and the even older Dell in my living room, especially on Linux/Wine, it should be fine on most any rig.

I do also have performance trouble with some of @TheEmu's scenes that makes them unplayable. He builds very complex scenes which are too much for a PC that even struggles with the "fire" and "water" scenes that come packaged with iStripper. I think certain shaders must create a higher CPU load than others.

Also, it's not just the number of clips: if you have 6 clips in a scene, and all of them have a shadow (or 2), and a reflection, then you're really asking the GPU to render as many as 24 clips simultaneously!

Yeah frame buffers, labour intensive on the CPU. I try to avoid them.
They had a massive impact on my system when I upgraded all my cards to 3k about 3 months ago.

@MiwdI just checked the error log when I ran your scene and it has lots of errors. Not sure if you want to check this and see if it can be rectified 😉

@Carstrip Are you sure those errors are coming from the scene and not from the clips? After you mentioned errors in my scenes, I checked my logs and found tons of those decode overflows going all the way back to 2014. I didn't start making my own scenes before this month, rarely used Full Screen, and even when I did, it was one of the scenes that come bundled with the app. I never applied a user-made scene before July of this year. That's what makes me think that something else might be causing those errors.

EDIT: Just saw @WyldAnimal 's reply. The only way that would be caused by a scene, then, is if it's trying to make the machine do too much.

Decode Overflow errors are Because the Frame couldn't be Decode fast enough to be displayed on the screen
This is usually because of Memory or CPU issues.
not enough available Memory or the CPU doesn't have enough free threads or Cycles.
Lost or Dropped frames...

If your error log has a lot of these, then I suspect your CPU is also MAXED out.

The CPU has to read the clips from the hard drive, Decode the clip frame by frame using the previous frame to decode the next one, and store that into Memory one frame at a time, so the GPU can display it.

Possibly too many 3K or 4K cards
These are extremely CPU and Memory intensive.

on the GPU
I saw a Max Texture of 32768 in the list.
I think this is frame buffers
Perhaps the Camera resolution of the Frame buffers, have reach MAX size.

@Grabandt

@sh42n81 You inserted the fireworks well into the "Carnival 1" scene! 👍

Thank you very much. I had to do some quick learning to figure it out.

@Carstrip

@sh42n81Yeah get into the glass scenes! They're soooo good 😍, I recommend u get some in your collection!

I typically reserve my credits for cards that indulge my stockings fetish, unless one of my favorite models has a non-stockings card that I just can't resist. Now, if Totem would do a glass card that also included stockings, I would be very into that!! But I think the audience for a card like that would be quite limited. 😐

@Grabandt
Just saw your last post. The "ambient" and "sRGB" errors are common and dont really influence the speed or operation of the fullsceen that much, they just get ignored. I know where they are now but because a lot of scene makers are copying .scn files from other old files it gets carried forward into new scenes. The only fix for this is to clean the code in each .scn file.

The long errors you are showing are definitely and issue though, Have a look to see who's scenes they are and maybe ask to see if the member who made it would be kind enough to have the scene cleaned up?

Hahaha 12 girls!! Yeah thats way too many.
10 years ago when the shows were all 720p it would've worked fine, now 3k shows, I recon my computer would just refuse to play it. Pays to check your error log when a scene plays up, Its in the - local>vghd>data folder, Run the scene, close it and open this file. It logs errors and will tell you whats happening.
There are older scenes made years ago that show errors in the error log now, I think maybe the fullscreen programming and internal operation of iStripper has changed and improved over the years, which means some scenes made some time ago, have code that doesnt function properly with these changes.
I had an early example of that with "Club Delights" posted about 6 years ago. There was script in there that the program *****, it may have been correct when it was made, but no longer works correctly.
Programs always get better and faster, just means we need to upgrade our systems at the same pace aaargh. 5k will break everyones computers, including mine! lol

@Miwd
I just checked the error log when I ran your scene and it has lots of errors. Not sure if you want to check this and see if it can be rectified 😉

@ComteDracula j'ai lu vos commentaires lorsque vous les aviez postés. Je suis d'accord avec vous que les pratiques basées sur les jeux de hasard sont plutôt douteuses. Ce qui me gêne, c'est de faire croire que l'on peut gagner ces cartes spéciales alors que ce n'est pas le cas et qu'au final on se retrouve à payer plus cher des cartes dont on ne voulait pas. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi Totem n'a pas cherché à régler ce défaut.
Quant au post de Kaiju, je pense qu'il parle réellement de la fin d'*****ée 2020, on verra à ce moment-là..

@arise77

Non il parlait de la fin d'*****ée 2019.

Son message date de septembre 2019.

Et la preuve que cette promesse n'a pas été respecté, est que la sortie des SEC, s'acquiérant seulement par les jeux de hasard, a augmenter en fréquence en 2020.

De plus malgré l'insatisfaction grandissante de plusieurs clients, il n' y a plus eu d'intervention à ce sujet d'un membre de l'équipe de Totem sur le forum.

Personnellement je n'ai plus confiance, qu'il puisse y avoir un changement de politique à ce sujet de la part de Totem.

La seule solution, serait que les membres se tiennent et ne participent plus aux jeux de hasard, pour forcer Totem à changer cette façon de faire, et je ne sens malheureusement pas cette unité.

Plusieurs personnes, soit par ignorance ou parce qu'elles aiment ces jeux, continuent à y participer, même si après coup plusieurs sont frustrés du résultat. Soit de ne pas avoir gagné une carte joker, pouvant leur permettre de l'échanger contre une Carte Événement Spécial (SEC), de se retrouver avec des cartes non désirées, et de se rendre compte qu'au final cela leur a coûté beaucoup trop de crédits.

Et l'histoire se continue, avec des messages en continue sur ces SEC, sur le forum.

On appelle cela "un cercle vicieux".


@arise77

No, he was talking about the end of 2019.

His message dates from September 2019.

And the proof that this promise has not been kept, is that the exit of the SEC, acquired only through games of chance, has increased in frequency in 2020.

In addition, despite the growing dissatisfaction of several customers, there was no longer any intervention on this subject from a member of the Totem team on the forum.

Personally, I no longer trust that there could be a change of policy on this subject from Totem.

The only solution, would be that the members stand and no longer participate in games of chance, to ***** Totem to change this way of doing things, and unfortunately I do not feel this unity.

Many people, either out of ignorance or because they like these games, continue to participate, even if afterwards many are frustrated with the result. Either not having won a joker card, which could allow them to exchange it for a Special Event Card (SEC), to end up with unwanted cards, and to realize that in the end it cost them too much of credits.

And the story continues, with continuous posts on these SECs, on the forum.

This is called "a vicious circle".

@Grabandt
yes, I have same issues sometimes too and my computer is setup for Flightsims, so is more than capable.
I found If you are playing a scene that has 6 shows in it lets say, then number 1 girl you can choose, but the other 5 are chosen randomly by the program. So what I found on my system was if the program picks 5 other shows and they were all 1080p shows, computer loves it and remains calm, but if it chooses all 6 at 3k... I have stutter city lol.
It'll be because of the resolution variance in shows that gives different results.
Fullscreen you cant choose the other girls in a scene which sucks. And even if the girl is in the background and small, your computer will try to render the show at 3 or 4k.

I'm now making scenes with no more than 4 shows in them (3 is best) to stop this happening, especially those with lower powered systems, they wouldnt even play 😕

Nice @gkar Here is lrina Gubeva one boob out

@sh42n81
Yeah get into the glass scenes! They're soooo good 😍, I recommend u get some in your collection!
@Miwd
Nice work 👍 the layout of the 6 girls scene is cool, nice idea. Playing 6 shows at the same time puts heaps of pressure on my computer though but looks great, keep sharing 😉

Answered my own question by downloading and trying it out. They are NOT using Msharp, but shaders created by @TheEmu. My GPU does not object to these and these scenes play just fine. Again, really nice work!

But it does change the color of the clothing and hair, contrary to what I had thought I had seen in the preview stills, so I'm sticking with my simple method for "Orions."

@7171al71 Interesting that you had the same problem with Msharp. I thought it was my 10-year-old graphics card which was designed for HD video but not gaming.

@sh42n81: It didn't work for me either, I have 40 of RAm and video Radeon Pro 575 4 GB, incompatibility in the library? @Z22, what can I be ?, It happens to me with several of your scenes.

@Miwd

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/29408/49?post=676873

This is VERY nice! This would go well with my unpublished Star Trek "Orions" scene. Are you using the Msharp shader demonstrated by @Z22 above? You must be using more than just a color statement on the clipsprite because the clothes are the original color.

Msharp.fsh doesn't work for me because it's too taxing on my GPU. 😢 If you used some other technique, please share.

@gkar45

what does OT mean/stand for

Off Topic :)

@Miwd. I like this style 👍, I also tried your Cartoon scene 👍 (With music by Iggi Pop is very ad-hoc)
I leave you a video that the audio track is sci-fi

@Wildanimal...LG 3D? ... Nice !!!! ... I do the same! ... I do it with a 3D NEC projector and broadcast on an apple TV.
It's quite an experience, it looks great!
I also do it with a Viewsonic 3D monitor sometimes.

Hello everyone!

I'm back with another one of my scenes. This one is probably not in everyones taste, but if you are a fan of Star Wars, Star Trek etc. you might find this enjoyable.

I basically made a bunch of scenes taking place inside a space ship with "Alien" girls in many different colours, todays scene is Blue.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c-Cc5gCewqSmxsFGA6acSCUaWiAuE5Jw/view?usp=sharing

There are 4 variation of the scene including:
3 girls on table
3 girls pole
3 girls standing
3 girls on table and 3 girls standing behind

Hope you enjoy.

I suggest members not buy shows that are not to their liking, and never purchase a preorder.

👍

I am glad that that I did not purchase this month's preorder.

J'ai pour la première fois accepté une offre de pré-achat UNIQUEMENT parce qu'ils y incluaient la SEC de Nici et pour le coup ce fut ma première SEC!!! et c'était plutôt sympa de leur part.

Ceci dit, si iStripper se fait plus d'argent avec les SEC, on peut se dire que c'est pour mieux rétribuer nos très chères danseuses. Qui pourrait être contre cela?

On peut se dire aussi que c'est pour étoffer la garde-robe des danseuses. Qui pourrait être contre cela?

On peut se dire aussi que c'est pour toujours plus de développement techniques et informatiques. Qui pourrait être contre cela?

Quant à douter de la légalité de tout cela, perso, je préfère voir iStripper comme une compagnie qui nous offre du très bon divertissement...

I prefer full nudity/ explicit cards. I may buy one or two of the just nudity cards if I like the model and the outfit, but I never buy the full set.

Totem will offer variety and if some variety does not sell I would suspect that fewer and fewer of those shows will be offered.

I suggest members not buy shows that are not to their liking, and never purchase a preorder.

Collectors who want to own every show? To each their own. Every time I participate in one of the special offerings and receive a card I would not buy I know that a full collection is not for me.

@sh42n81 I also think since the company is based in France, they are not regulated by US laws.

I've watched all the VR 180 shows now. I like them all, some better than others. My favourites from memory are Veronica Leal (probably most of all), Li Moon, Agatha Vega, Polly Pons, Kecy Hill, probably a few others, but there's too many to remember without watching them again.

Kecy's show is the only one where you can see "your" legs I think, and it's the only one with music and the only one with a smoke machine, like in a fancy strip club, I really liked the atmosphere. And there was a kind of vulnerable look in Kecy's eyes that is sexy. I like the confident, blissfully happy look on an erotic entertainer's face best, but there can be huge sexiness in vulnerability where the girl is placing her trust in you, and I wouldn't want to be unworthy of that trust - not that that would be a problem really in a pretend situation.

I love it best when the woman puts her face very close to yours and looks in your eyes, whether it's with confident bliss or hopeful vulnerability. It's so intimate, even more so than her state of undress in my opinion and I love the intimacy, which seems almost real in VR.

Yes, the worst that the U.S. could do would be to block U.S. citizens from accessing Totem's applications

Opinion those who want to block such Content are feared about the internet
and his opportunities because they don't know how to handle this Technology.

If you Have Multiple Screen setup you can select which screen to cast.
on my Laptop I only have One screen connected.
But in the 2nd pop up, you will see a Thumbnail of each screen. you have to Click on the Thumbnail
then click Share.

Yes, I do this often.
I set up a playlist of cards or clips to watch
Select the Full Screen Scenes with Single Models slots I want to watch.
turn of istripper sounds ( the Mute Icon )
Put on a Music app with a playlist
then Cast my desktop ( in sources at the bottom of the cast window )
Start the Music app
Then Start full Screen

It takes a second or two for the cast to start.
You can't interact to the Cast Screen in real time, as it is streamed to a Cache and then displayed from the cached copy.

but most of the time there is no Pauses or loss of Cache content to wait for..

it's just a second or so behind the actual screen.

one of My TV is a LG 3D TV with a 2D to 3D mode.

iStripper looks really good in 3D
Sometimes the 3D conversion is a bit off, but most of the time it's really good.

Especially If I created the Scenes to look good in 3D.

Anyway, I am not saying that this way of doing things is illegal. As I said, it is unfair towards loyal customers, and especially those who have all the cards, because in this case, we have more to lose than to gain. I don't think the American government can do much about it, Totem being a company based in France.De toute façon, je ne dis pas que cette façon de faire est illégale. Comme je le précisais, elle est déloyale envers les fidèles clients, et surtout ceux qui ont toutes les cartes, car dans ce cas, on a plus à perdre qu'à gagner. Je ne pense pas que le gouvernement américain puisse y faire grand chose, Totem étant une compagnie établie en France.

Yes, the worst that the U.S. could do would be to block U.S. citizens from accessing Totem's applications, as they did with the poker sites. The poker sites continue to operate outside the U.S., but I can't use them. I would not like that to happen to iStripper! 😦
