For the syntax and other information of the various OpenGL features see

https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Category:OpenGL_Shading_Language

However, I think that most, if not all, of the things referenced in those "warning" messages are functions provided by the OpenGL API rather than by the shader language.

(Why the messages are classed as warning is anybody's guess. Mine is that they ought to be simple informational messages but that something in the system only allows warnings and errors through to the log)

Cubemaps that I would really like to convert to VGHD.

Same here ..I would also like to know how the Shadertoy authors using WebGL seem to have
access to display of high definitions of their textures while regular folks browsing the Shadertoy
site only seem to have "thumbnail" eg 96 x 96 sizes to work with ? Where does one access the
full definition versions of these textures ?

I think this is a question for @TheEmu ...

I noticed in my vghd.log file some references to the OPENGL features at start up:

[2023-05-31T13:35:24 fullscreen: [Scene::dumpOpenGL] WARNING[FullScreenPreview OPENGL features: ("Multitexture", "Shaders", "Buffers", "Framebuffers", "BlendColor", "BlendEquation", "BlendEquationSeparate", "BlendFuncSeparate", "BlendSubtract", "CompressedTextures", "Multisample", "StencilSeparate", "NPOTTextures", "NPOTTextureRepeat", "FixedFunctionPipeline")]
2023-05-31T13:35:24 fullscreen: [Scene::dumpOpenGL] WARNING[FullScreenPreview OPENGL texture features: ("ImmutableStorage", "ImmutableMultisampleStorage", "TextureRectangle", "TextureArrays", "Texture3D", "TextureMultisample", "TextureBuffer", "TextureCubeMapArrays", "Swizzle", "StencilTexturing", "AnisotropicFiltering", "NPOTTextures", "NPOTTextureRepeat", "Texture1D")]

In particular the references for :

Texture3D
TextureCubeMapArrays

Does anyone know if/how these can be used and their syntax ? There's quite a lot of shaders that use 3D noise and Cubemaps that I would really like to convert to VGHD.

Much more on that bug concerning custom images.
It is not the SECs. It is not cards not owned. It is the difference between the store and the my collection.
(check out Sybil)
I posted about this at discord, starting here: https://discord.com/channels/709339443777110026/890605069324664863/1113415104759857172

This is the biggest thing for me. I created a custom image for each of the SECs I do not own. I expect to continue to see the custom image for the SECs. Instead the app changes them.

En même temps les utilisateurs qui font ce genre de modifications ne doivent pas être très nombreux 😄

At the same time, users who make this kind of modification should not be very numerous 😄

Nobody cares that the "_custom.jpg" images are no longer kept as desired?The app should not be replacing the "_custom.jpg" images. Has anyone else even noticed this?This is the biggest thing for me. I created a custom image for each of the SECs I do not own. I expect to continue to see the custom image for the SECs. Instead the app changes them.If this cannot or will not be changed, then I will need to revert back to version 12376.

We'll look into that, the custom images should be working, there might be some unwanted specific code for the SEC

Actually, the bonus video downloads are not automatically removed from the list upon completion. They stay in the list until manually removed or the app is closed.

Sky with this card you have made a great start your slim and very seductive body and your shiny smile with the great performance have excited and impressed me very much you are incredibly beautiful and have an amazing seductive smile. I'm really looking forward to all your upcoming cards. Nice that you exist, love, kisses and hugs, Christian💋😍😘💖

Correct me if I'm wrong, what you reported here is only a display problem. The music correctly plays but the first time they're added, they're not checked in the Music tab while you would expect them to, is that right?

If the app performs a rebuilding collection during startup it would be helpful if a message to that effect were to be displayed on the splash screen (this being in addition to the spinning "busy" indicator on the systray icon). This would let all users know what is going on rather than just those that know what the easily overlooked spinning,icon means.

Duly noted, we'll look into adding an explicit message for it

As @pickle1 mentioned, the colors of the downloads is as such:

• If there's an "Update" tag on a card (green sticker with the default skin), the download bar is green
• If you're downloading a Preview (whether manually or automatiquely), the download bar is blue
• Any other download (new card, card you already downloaded but then deleted, bonus video etc.) is red

Also, there is no "Remove All" button anymore as downloads are automatically removed from the window when they're finished.

Very nice, insta buy for me....

She has a superb ass and she knows very well. 🔞💖😛

I wish there was a Play then Disable.
or an Advance Option,
What happens to the card after it is Played.
1) Nothing.
2) it is marked as disabled.

this would allow for a random shuffle of the entire collection that is Enabled.

a card is picked at Random and it is played, and also Marked as disabled when it is moved to History.

you can get a random Shuffle, but only one time through.
Use Random, without Repeat.

Each time a card is picked at random, it gets removed from the list.
So Every card on the List will be played at Random, just one time.

when the PLaylist is done, Just Insert it again...

I would change that by changinf one word, in my opinion it is not a relatively risky strategy, it is a very risky strategy !

1 - The risk that there may be an unsuspected but significant bug.

I totally agree

why some of the cards play less than others?

I suspect that all you are seeing is the natural result of random selection.

With random selection there will be some cards that just happen to be selected more often than others and this will be by pure chance, not because of some bias favouring those cards.

If you want each card to be played the same number of times but in a random order then you don't want a random selection mechanism, what you want is a random shuffle. However, iStripper does not have such an option though i think it might be good if it did even if this was only as a way of playing a loaded playlist.

thanks for the replies, but what I was trying to ask is related to the random selection of the next stripper.
Some of them appears less than others..

@pickle1

That makes sense to me. 👍 😎

I forget to mention one thing I noticed hours back.
If on the 'home' page, the banner can be increased in heights.
There is a small icon (two arrows pointing toward {or away from} each other). When this is clicked the current banner can be toggled between two heights. The width does not change, at least for me.

• arrows pointing toward: make shorter in height
• arrows pointing away from: make taller in height

As you will see in a discussion on this in Discord (prompted by the questions from JonC001 in Discord), It looks like the system views any action you take to update a card is viewed as being a fresh download. It will only be recognised as an update if the update flash is shown across the card image and the update has been driven by the post-production team.

Whether that is planned or accidental - I will leave that up to the team to explain 😊

My problem (not a real problem) may be that I had no cards to update, when i updated several different cards, maybe one or two twice.
I rebuilt my collection and found I now have just one new card but no updates.
Do not click to rebuild the collection if you are a rather impatient person. You will need to let the app do its business, which will vary depending on the size of the collection. Mine takes a few minutes.

Ok, in that case update progress bar is still red.

(edit)

Also tried deleting previews of a card then checking it for updates which makes it download them again as an update. Still red progress bar. Might just be for me though and it's a ***** thing. 😕

(extra edit)

Some of the custom skins I have will change the color of the download progress bar but not the preview download progress bar.

You can click 'update' on any card. It does not necessarily need to say 'update' on it.
I updated a bunch of cards while testing some stuff. None of these cards had the 'update' tag.

Never click 'update' on any removed card. You may lose the card animation files. Unless backed up, they will be gone.

Also, I would like the 'X' top right corner to come back when viewing a card's details.

Me too. 👍

You have a skin loaded, so that might change the colors of the progress bars.

I have the default ( no Skin ) loaded...

I have a custom skin and the color of the progress bar is blue for preview downloads and red for full show downloads. I don't have an update so couldn't test that one.

It is excellent that the app still keeps my bonus video downloads showing (listed) in the downloads. (that is until I click to delete one)
Bummer that 'remove all' no longer exists so it is impossible to remove all items at once.

Not so good that it simply never remembers my playlists location AFTER downloading a bonus video.

I tried again just now. I downloaded a bonus video. Later, I went to my collection. Then, I clicked 'playlists' on the right side. Then, I clicked to 'insert playlist' and I get to the location for the bonus videos.
Playlists is elsewhere.

Also, I would like the 'X' top right corner to come back when viewing a card's details.

new screenshot showing a new bonus video download with only the 'basic' skin.
(still pink)

Removed?
I deleted the entire post, so that I could put up all three images again, where one of them was not edited completely.

@JonC001

Concerning colors of the download bar

My post will be in the beta version test thread: https://discord.com/channels/709339443777110026/890605069324664863

I saw your post before it was removed.
You have a skin loaded, so that might change the colors of the progress bars.

I have the default ( no Skin ) loaded...

Sort by Release Date is very useful in the My Collection.

All of the "removed" cards in the collection now appear altogether either at the beginning or the end of the collection dependent on whether you sort ascending or descending.

It sort of makes up for the "unknown" release date having been removed from the filters.😊

Concerning colors of the download bar

I will post three screenshots to show:

• one card being downloaded
• three cards being updated (one actually in queue)
• one bonus video being downloaded

My post will be in the beta version test thread: https://discord.com/channels/709339443777110026/890605069324664863

Giving brand new users access to the beta (and not calling it a beta) may be a relatively risky strategy but what it gives is an opportunity to discover rapidly any issues that impact new users and their take on.

I would change that by changinf one word, in my opinion it is not a relatively risky strategy, it is a very risky strategy !

There are at least two problems

1 - The risk that there may be an unsuspected but significant bug.

2 - The general ***** it brings, in particular making the term Beta Release mean even less to naive users than it currently does.

I have no problems in making a beta release available to everyone, including brand new users, but it should be something that they actively opt into using after being told the implications thereof and it should not be the default version for anybody - especially new users.

@pickle1 @wyldanimal,where do you see the different colors for downloads?I downloaded a full (new) card. pink colorI updated another somewhat older card. same exact pink color.I am talking about the downloads area at the bottom right.Is it skin-related?

When you click on the download button (now at the bottom-right corner of the screen in 512 / 514, if you are downloading a show, the colour of the progress bar differs depending upon what is being downloaded - you get a red progress bar for a new card (first time you are downloading it), green if you are updating a previously downloaded card and blue for a preview.

I use the basic skin so I cannot say if using another skin will affect it.

Will VR work with PICO 4?

Yes, definitely. Pico 4 is similar to Quest 2 (I have Quest 2, not Pico 4).

These are just VR180 videos, not nearly as demanding as PCVR games, like VR Paradise (Pico 4 will work there too, assuming the PC meets the minimum system requirements - the better GPU the better experience).

You can just download the free sample clip for any show to try it. Choose 2700p.

2700p is 5K resolution. Pico 4 could handle 8K.

However, we have decided to make this version available to all in order to collect as much as possible datas from our new users.I think that is a mistake - at least in the way that it has been done. If someone like @WyldAnimal can be ***** as to whether it was a beta or an offical release then what chance do naive, non-software developer savvy, users stand of understanding that there may be problems with it.The version 1.2.378 will remains available to downloadWhere from ? It's not on the web site's front page which has 1.2.5.14 - is it hidden away elsewhere ? Giving brand new users a beta release is not, in my opinion, a good idea.

Giving brand new users access to the beta (and not calling it a beta) may be a relatively risky strategy but what it gives is an opportunity to discover rapidly any issues that impact new users and their take on.

As Moderators, we are not necessarily privy to the strategic decisions of the team.

And if you need to go back to 378, it is here.....

I do wish one thing:

the app would remember where I have stashed my playlists

It only remembers until I download a bonus video.
Then it forgets the playlists and remembers the bonus videos.
It always remembers the location of downloaded bonus videos. Why not also the playlists?
Every time I download a bonus video, and then create a new playlist or open one already existing, I have to search my computer (browser) for the playlists folder.

@pickle1 @wyldanimal,
where do you see the different colors for downloads?
I downloaded a full (new) card. pink color
I updated another somewhat older card. same exact pink color.

I am talking about the downloads area at the bottom right.
Is it skin-related?

Good news!

• the app is remembering when I have a year(s) chosen as a filter
• no problem with a full download of yesterday's card
• no problem with an update of a somewhat older card
• cards downloaded on an external drive, if updated, will be remembered there, and not downloaded elsewhere
• eleven cards I now have hidden are fully visible in the hidden cards collection (no blurring)

With version 1.2.5.14 toggling between Cards View and Thumbnail View resets the Sort By and Order By options so I have to manually put them back to my preferred settings, Date Of Purchase and Descending, each time I change the basic view.

Not good... hope it's fixed as soon as possible.

I have long felt that some moderators are too ready to close threads

I agree with @TheEmu on this.

If you Haven't Noticed it..Card Download Progress is Shown with a Red colored BarCard Update Progress is Shown with a Green colored Bar

And a preview is shown in blue 😊

Did you ask for that preview?

No, it's always some random automatic download over it. It's only after sign in though. The easy solution is to never log out, which is what I normally do but in the spirit of beta testing, I did it anyway. 😄

(this thread is getting kinda busy, I'll just lay off for awhile. 😳 😄 😎)

Is it possible that a bug is causing the app to take me to the first page, if someone else posted since I opened the thread?
Maybe, a one-time thing and not a bug?

(edit): it looks like this was a one-time thing. I do not know what caused it.

With respect to @WyldAnimal 's post

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/52963/10?post=764578

If the app performs a rebuilding collection during startup it would be helpful if a message to that effect were to be displayed on the splash screen (this being in addition to the spinning "busy" indicator on the systray icon). This would let all users know what is going on rather than just those that know what the easily overlooked spinning,icon means.

@Socialhazard said this:

It's downloading a new preview over the old in the same slot.

This does not sound good. You have six empty slots (spaces) and yet the same one is being replaced.
Did you ask for that preview?

Bug?
I do not know.
I took a while making that last post.
When I was done, I was taking to the first page of the topic/thread. But it still posted.

Has the remove all items from the list been removed from the downloads? I was never able to get that to work for my cards.
It always removed all downloaded cards automatically, regardless of version used. I never had a chance to remove them via that button.
However, downloaded videos always worked as it should. I was able to gather a few videos and then click to remove all.

What exactly do you mean? You are allocated seven spots for previews. How many have you used and are using?
Also,
is the app downloading the preview of a card already previewed, or is it adding a new preview card, next slot?

I mean the first slot because I only had one preview downloaded. All others are empty. It's downloading a new preview over the old in the same slot.

I see that when opening up the details of a card, there is no 'X' to close it.
This is true for all tabs of the card, though the individual card photos still have the 'X'.

Download completed without a problem.
It seems to have downloaded in the same resolution that I have set as default, and I see that has not changed in the settings.
