Hello, didn't know how to search this in case some one has asked this before...

I was wondering, if it is possible to watch the short "attention craving" clips in full size somehow? I mean the clips where the performer is waving her hands to get your attention if the card has been running at small size for a while. Some girls yawn, some of them act frustrated due to lack of attention by you, some of them point at an imaginary watch on their wrist :) etc... when you click them, and enlarge the show, this clip is ended and the show continues as before. These seem to be special clips that you can't view in full size, or can you?

I think some of them are quite funny, and I would like to include them in some of my playlists.

Yes, it can be done, but it takes a bit of work. Like you I really enjoy these clips.

If you make a playlist of these clips, you can play them in the "full size" (single model) mode. The problem is that the iStripper GUI does not have the capability for adding a transition clip to a playlist.

If you have some programming skill, you can create a .VPL playlist file yourself. The format is simple. The first four bytes is a long integer with a version number = 1 (0,0,0,1). The next four bytes is the number of entries in the playlist as a long integer. The remaining bytes are the card or clip ID's. Each ID consists of a long integer containing the number of bytes in the ID when that ID is expressed in UNICOD followed by the ID in UNICODE. For example, a card ID of e0391 would be encoded as 0,0,0,10,0,"e",0,"0",0,"3",0,"9",0,"1"

The clips that you want are the ones containing "_it01_" as part of the file name.

Some of the third party playlist managers will let you do all of the above, but I'm not sure which ones have that capability.

There is a third option. I have created a Microsoft Access application that will do what you want. It's in beta, but I'm happy to share it if you send me your email address via PM. The ZIP file is 1.4 MB. You don't need to own Access to run it as there is a free run-time application available from Microsoft.

Wow, thank you very much @Dorsai6. To be honest, I didn't catch much of what you wrote about the .VPL-playlist in the third paragraph... I'm not that much acquainted with the software yet. But I do have Microsoft Access and some knowledge how to work with it, so I would very much appreciate your application!

I'll send you my email and thanks in advance for your help!

Re: I didn't catch much of what you wrote about the .VPL-playlist in the third paragraph

Since you are not a programmer, I'll keep my answer short. The simplest files .TXT files. They contain nothing but characters, usually in ASCII (50 year old standard). These files can be opened and read with a text editor program. Other files require that you use a program specifically designed to read them or that you understand how their information has been encoded into binary data. The iStripper VPL files are a simple example. If you are not a programmer, ignore the details I provided.

As you requested, I'm sending you a copy of my application. Since you have a copy of Microsoft Access, you will be able to see all the code I used to make it work including the code I use to create playlists. If you want an explanation of some of that code, contact me at my email address.

Kicking up this old thread...

@Dorsai6 Since iStripper changed formatting of models.lst a while ago, it meant that your excellent MS Access playlist generator stopped working with new data. I still have it and my collection is in it up to the "breaking point", but hundreds of shows that I have purchased since last spring can't be uploaded and worked with.

Are you perhaps planning on updating your tool to work with new models.lst-file?

After learning the basics of Hexadecimal structure of .vpl-files (thanks to your and Wyldanimal's previous posts) I just managed to make a little excel-utility of my own to create playlists for these "attention craving"-clips this thread was created for... 1) I search .demo- and .vghd files with string "_it01_" and save list to a file -->2) I paste the list of file names in MS Excel, where set of formulas check the number of entries and count the bytes of filenames and create one continuous textstring of hex-code, which I then paste into a free "HxD Hex Editor" I downloaded earlier today, and save as .vpl.

With no coding or programming history, I hit my head on a brick wall a few times before I got through... :)

So, my "attention craving" clip playlists are now up to date, and iStripper software accepts them nicely, but I really miss the ability to add my own clip-level tags and creating playlists using that criteria...

In case you decide to make an updated version of your playlist generator, and need "beta testers" again, please let me know (I'm using new Access version in MS Office 2016 suite).

@Dfner,

Yes, I plan to update my database application. About 3 moths ago I was about 80% finished with a major improvements. Since then I've been so deep into paying work that I haven't had time to finish. I plan to do this over the holiday period.
