@wyldanimal: Can you confirm the impact of 'Never attempt to Update a card that has been removed from the store'? Is this why I can't play these cards even though I have backup copies of the data? Have I lost the license? Thanks.

Victoria Sweet exists.
She has six solo cards from 1229 to 1234 in the 'a' cards.

She also has four 'c' cards, one a solo.

Her cards are only in the medium resolution.
You need 40 cards (gold level) to see these cards in the store and have the ability to buy them.
Her cards were released in 2012-2013.

I can't find Victoria Sweet anywhere D:

Thanks @celine, I'm one of those who are very interested in seeing how Silvia handles the whip😱😜😛😋❤️

@vg4us

Sounds very strange indeed... I guess it's possible that some files have had (temporarily) wrong file names and that causes problems with duplicate names later on. I haven't bought all VR-shows (about 70% of them), but I certainly have never encountered such issue with my downloads

Maybe you just bought and downloaded it earlier and forgot about it 😉

@diner

Thx. The files download just fine. I keep them all in a folder. What surprises me is that sometimes when I move them from the windows "download" folder to the folder I keep on an external driveI am prompted for a replacement. I would have thought that given it's a new show the file name would be unique. That is why I am asking the question about the file names. Could these names possibly have been "reused" on the serrver side for example ...

I am just curious about why the files are being replaced,. I don't think it's important as when you play it with DEOVR you open it into DEOVR. Only matters if you want to download it to your headset. Just a curiosity. I started noticing it a few months ago on occasion.

@celine

Yes that seems to sometimes occur. I have a folder on the same drive as the VGHD shows My downloads end up the windows downloads folder and then I copy the files to the location I have in my post. I sometuimes get a message prompting me t replace the files. Puzzling? Howcould that be given they are new shows? Are the file names right for this show from what I posted. It could just be something my system is incorrectly thinking is being replaced but that would make it a serious windows bug. I doubt it.

For what it's worth, I just purchased this show and downloaded 2700- and 2160-versions without problems. Two differently named files in my download-folder as expected.

sorry I don't get it :-P

the 2 files are different:

"G:\My VR\iStripper_g0042_h264_2160_59.94_LR_180.mp4"
"G:\My VR\iStripper_g0042_h265_2700_59.94_LR_180.mp4"

Also, when you say a new download replaces files you already have, do you mean files from other VR shows ? Seems impossible as every file has a different name...

Pls clarify, thx

I am a bit puzzled at why when I download a new VR show it's replacing files I already have. Take this one, the ffiles downloaded are

"G:\My VR\iStripper_g0042_h264_2160_59.94_LR_180.mp4"
"G:\My VR\iStripper_g0042_h265_2700_59.94_LR_180.mp4"

Are the file names being duplicated? Am I missing something?

After the release of her first show yesterday, now you can enjoy Silvia in VR !
And I know, some of you will be particularly happy to watch how she handles a whip...

@JonC001

What @Wyldanimal said... I wish we could include pictures here to demonstrate.

Typically a new card has four files in the data folder, using f1625 as an example:

• f1625.jpg
• f1625.xml
• f1625_fullhd.png
• f1625_nude.png

In this beta-version, once you open the details-page for this card, the following file gets downloaded into the same folder:

• f1625_large.jpg

Basically, f1625_large.jpg is just a larger version of the card image, although many times there are ***** differences, as is the case with f1625:

https://imgur.com/a/okL8xfu

I have noticed that there are many cards between e0001 - e0100 where no large card image has been added (and probably same for early f-series cards), but new cards typically has this larger version available. And if you want to have them downloaded into your data folder, you need to visit the detail page of these newer cards --> and hence my wish (and for other reasons, too) for better navigation in my previous post :)

@JonC001 wrote in reference to the post from @Dfner,

I have never seen a "_large" picture.
...
Is this something new, only seen in the istripper 2 betas?

Ther are 3 different card images
aXXXX.jpg - used by the newer versions of iStripper
aXXXXc.jpg - used by the older version of VGHD Deskbabes and iStripper
162 x 242 w x h

aXXXX_large.jpg - used by iStripper 2.0 in place of the Fulldh image on the left side of the details view.
324 x 428 w x h
This image is only downloaded if you visit the cards details view.

you can make custom images by adding the _custom.jpg to the end of the file names
aXXXX_custom.jpg -162 x 242
aXXXXc_custom.jpg - 162 x 242
aXXXX_large_custom.jpg - 324 x 428 - Not Implemented yet

These are png images with a transparent background
aXXXX_nude_custom.png - has no Specific Width or Height but there may be a Max W x H that the size must stay within.
aXXXX_full_custom.png these are - 900 pixels tall
aXXXX_fullhd_custom.png these are -1500 pixels tall


if the _custom image exists in the data folder, it is prioritized in place of the regular image.
I don't believe that the Stickers / Overlay images are placed on the _custom card images.
So no logo / branding added on top of the image.

@Dfner,
I have never seen a "_large" picture.

I have only seen the "_fullhd" (or "_full") and "_nude" images, plus the jpgs.

Is this something new, only seen in the istripper 2 betas?

I'd like to have to Previews tab back (it could be added under Store or Collection tabs) so that I can see what "demos" from the free preview push I have currently available and for how much longer the flash sale for them lasts.THIS!

Yes, I agree

I've been waiting for this day to come.

Me too! It compliments my FanSign prize, nicely!

First I deleted the cards from my Collection, so they were grayed out and ready to be removed, and I closed the app.
I don't want any bugs or problems.
I just want a bigger HDD asap and that's my priority right now.

Was it so difficult if the withdrawal was announced on the Forum, as with other models?
I know about "lost processes" and others, but give us a small chance to get them!
I log in every week to read the Forum, but in vain.
You announced only two models, and not the last one.
However, thank you for the penultimate models announced!

Totem can do anything in this app.

While the card(s) no longer show in your collection.
the Files for them are still on your HDD
Totem does not reach out and Delete the Files from your HDD,
you must do that on your Own...

Question:
If I still have the Animation files on my HDD of a card that has been removed from my Account
Can I later, still Play these Animation files?

Answer:
For a Card that has been removed from the store and also removed from your collection History

• You can NOT play the full clip files that end with .vghd
• You can NOT play the Preview clips that End with .demo

For a card removed from your Account History, But is Still Available in the Store

• You can NOT play the full clip files that end with .vghd
• You CAN play the Preview clips that end in .demo, if you add the Previews back from the store.

( since the files already are on your HDD, the add Preview will be instant. )

• You CAN also still purchase this card, or Win this card in a TGIF event.

This is only true for cards that are still available from the Store.

Question:
I Own, and have already downloaded the cards animation files, Before it was removed from the Store
Will this card Automatically be removed from my collection ?
It no longer has a card image, just a grey box, can I still play this card?

Answer:

• Cards removed from the store, are NOT automatically removed form your Collection History.
• You retain the License to Play these cards, so long as you still have the clips Downloaded on your HDD.

The Card Images, are removed from being displayed, this is why you see only a gray box.
You can still Play, and add that card to a playlist, even though it does not show a card image.
( you can create your own CUSTOM card image and save it in the Data folder for that card.)

The only time you will have the License removed from your History, is if You Ask customer service for
help with the card.

• If you want to KEEP the license to the card do NOT contact customer support and ask about this card.
• You should also Make a Backup of this cards Models and Data folders ( all of the files in Both folders )
• Never attempt to Update a card that has been removed from the store

while some removed cards can still be re-Downloaded, Many Can not be re-Downloaded.
and the future ability to download some of the removed cards, could be removed at any time.
If you try to Update the card, and it can not be Downloaded, the only way to get the files back, are if you have a backup copy of them.

disappear

Yes, the cards are gone now, like I never had them.
Totem can do anything in this app.

The app will not download or remove or change any of the animation files (*.demo and *.vghd).
Never click to update any of the removed cards.

If the two small files the *.vhdshows and *.vhdtrailers are lost, the show might become useless as well.

not totally true
It is possible to copy these files from any other card, just change the file names to match the correct card.
I checked this file in three of my cards (using NotePad) and this is all that is shown:

720p

Make sure the file name is exact.
example:
If e2010 does not have that file, see if e1995 has it.
If yes, copy "e1995.vhdshows" to the e2010 folder.
Then, change e1995 to e2010.
(no need to edit the file itself)

Beautiful ❤️

Has anyone tried if a read-only setting on these files prevent them from updating ?
If the two small files the *.vhdshows and *.vhdtrailers are lost, the show might become useless as well.

Thanks for the updated list.

I've been waiting for this day to come.

The cards that support removes from your collection will totally disappear.
You will not see them anymore.
There will NOT be a placeholder for the cards, showing as empty. They are totally gone.

I still have all cards of Dianna and Karolina, playing in the app sometimes.
I no longer have the cards of a few others.

She is beautiful

disappear

Will the cards that will be deleted by Support from my Collection be empty / blank cards or disappear?

Having used the new beta a few days now, here's some feedback:

Bugs/problems:

1) Sometimes one or few of the card images don't show in collection view. Synchronizing doesn't help. Right now at least Amalia Davis - Smooth Bunny is missing card image. A couple of days ago there was another one of the recent cards with similar issue, but now that one shows ok. The card images are in the data folder, so it's some kind of display issue in iS software.

2)
I bought Silvia Wise's first card about half an hour ago, but it still doesn't show in my collection. Synchronizing doesn't help. The card is playable and is downloaded, and the vghd+demo files are in correct folder. I had to go to my account history and click the link to the card there on my purchase to access the show. I can't find it with search "silvia wise" or by sorting cards by release date.

3)
Playlist playing order issue, already mentioned above.

Wishes/requests:

The new detail page is very well designed IMHO, but I would like to have navigation buttons on that page. So that whatever the card order is in Collection view, once you enter on detail page on any card, you could easily move to next/previous card with these buttons. Now you have to always return to collection view and select another card.

(this navigation improvement would also help one to get the nice bigger card images (with "_large" in file names) in data folders. I have noticed that those get downloaded only when you enter the detail page of that card. Going through your collection for this purpose would also be easier)

What better way to start the week than welcoming Silvia Wise on your desktop ?
Silvia will make you melt! She's fresh, sweet and delicate, plus her lovely body is absolut natural perfection !

Enjoy!

The List has been Updated to Include the Cards of Karolina
I also updated the SEC list and Add the EX cards.

same on version 2 :)
Test it @muttonjeff, revert to stable version is as easy as 1 click :)

I have only two cards of her. How can I get a refund?

Write an E-mail to [email protected]
Give your Username and a List of what cards you Purchased and want the refund for.
And why you want them refunded.

In most cases, they will refund you credits, and then remove the cards from your History
and you will never be able to play them again, Even if you have the files backed up, you can't play them.

Personally, I want to Keep every card, even if it's only One card that has been removed from the store, I want to keep
and Enjoy them all..
The Enjoyment Value of getting to watch them, is worth more than the few credits I would get back..
But that is just my view.

Long Explanation follows:
Every card you Purchase has it's very Own Liscense code that is Sent to you from the server..
Without the License code, you can't play the card.
So when you get a refund, the License code is removed from your account, and you can no longer play the card(s).

Not related to your Question, but some Info to share.
This is also why, when there is a Server issue, your Collection might show as empty.
the App Needs to Communicate to the server and Get a copy of the License Codes for all the cards you own.
The Files are still there on your HDD, but you don't have the Server connection to get the License Codes.

This has Happened to me, and I'm sure many other members when there has been a server issue.
You just have to be Patient till the issue is resolved.

I know some members tried to Delete everything and re-install , and then create a bigger issue for themselves.

I want news on this forum like other removed cards. I check in every week for this because of my limited HDD.
I don't wanna miss a thing.

That news is after the cards have been removed.
Why is at "Bugs & Fixes"?
I don't want her cards anymore. I don't like to have just two cards which are not on server anymore.

@Evaneself

When was Karolina taken out?!?!?!Why I did not see the news? I always check for this thing. 😪😟

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/55353/1?post=784484

I have only two cards of her. How can I get a refund?

The two cards you have should still be playable. If so, do not ask support for a refund or you will lose the right to play them.

Do not try to update the two cards and make sure you back up the model and data folders for the two cards.

When was Karolina taken out?!?!?!
Why I did not see the news? I always check for this thing. 😪😟

I am sorry! I need a bigger HDD.

they can be seen directly in the "FULL SCREEN" (I use the full screen a lot) and it would be great if in the options they allow us to enjoy the lists created.
because for now I can only click to enjoy it on the DESKTOP and add them to the queue

Open the playlist
use CTRL-A to Select ALL of the cards in the play list.
Right click on any of the cards, then Add to Top of Que.
Start Full Screen.
the cards displayed on Full Screen Now come from the QUE, which al all from the Playlist.

But I agree, the Full Screen should be More Front and Center.
It should be Added to the Left Menu.
and on the Playlist screen, there should be an Added right click option to Start on Full Screen.

in the Que Control, you can Toggle the Loop and Shuffle options on and off.
( you Must use have the Shuffle option enabled, Before you Add them to the Que. )
Loop is pro-Active and toggles on and Off even After makeing the QUE

Shuffle is only Active, for when you Add the cards to the Que.
it has No Affect of the cards already on the QUE list.

Never update the removed cards, as you may lose the files.

I put all of the Removed cards in the Hidden Collection.
That way, I can't accidentally Update them when I select ALL to do an Update.

Then when I want to play them, I just view the Hidden Collection and that has all of the removed cards in it.
all for Safe Keeping.

I also have a 2nd and 3rd Backup of the Models and Data folders for these cards.
So Just in case, I can restore the files if Needed, and then do a Rebuild of my Collection.

Also, you should never contact customer Support with questions about a card that has been removed from the store.
There only option for Help is to Give you A refund and remove the card from history.
You will never be able to Play it after that.

It's a very useful list; so I would ask our Moderator @Wyldanimal to please update it. Thanks in advance!

Thanks,
When I get a chance I will Have to Update that Post.
I think I'm two Models Behind...

what version are you using ???

I am on 1,2,552 and it's under... Settings > CLIPS

I have no idea for Version 2 ... I don't use it (yet)

This list is not complete, but does contain most of the cards:

I can add Karolina (e1509 to 1514) and Dianna (e0807 to 0812) to the list.

Is there a current list of cards that have been removed from the store? Due to some technical issues I needed to reinstall. I was able to rebuild all my downloaded cards but now all of them show as needing update. I'd like to avoid any issues with updating them.
