Hi

Now that I got permission from Rex I can finally share this program with you.
It gives you the possibility to either play just one type of clips for example only pole dances or to watch a show from start to finish with no repetitions. You should however know how to make a playlist in the VG software to use its full potential.

It comes with a readme file that tells you more. The screenshot shows the main dialogue
and the explanation of the different playmodes so you can get a better idea what this program is for.

It is written in Java 6 and to execute it you just need an Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. There is no setup necessary for Java programs if an JRE is present. The readme.txt will also tell you where you find the JRE.

It was tested on all 3 current Windows Versions.

Go here to download the zip file.
Thanks to zebrazuk for his support on writing the readme file, testing the program and offering the webspace for it.
http://kp3d.com/vgmanager.html

Make sure to read the readme.txt file before you use the program.
If you have questions you can also ask them here. And feel free to let me know what you think of it.

Extra explanation: Scenes
Scenes are a feature that is used for recent DeskBabes shows to group clips that should be played together like one long clip. Often there are direct transitions between the clips belonging to a scene. Per default only DeskBabes shows above sow no. 125 are scened. No VG show has scenes per default as of today.
I say default because the grouping of clips into a scene is done by clip name and anyone can rename the clips though it is NOT recommended. More advanced user however can do that. If the models list is renewed afterwards the clip will still play.

This looks great, Starryk.
Is access to VG's clip selector necessary?

Whoa yeah...I am so Happy for you, my VG/DB brethren & sisteren, for Lo, Evolution has indeed smiled upon you with this, Starryk's Play any & all cards in continuous order & selected erotic experience, player.
First I must say that I never used Wylde's player, not being techy savvy to do so on my own.So none of this is meant as comparison to his.
Starry was helpful in setting this up for me & I've found it to be just the example of VG/DB Visual Evolution I've been craving & begging for since I first came to VG.
This is an ability that has LONG been needed here on VG/DB...the ability to control the flow AND level of erotic action by ourselves!

You want a playlist of only pole dancing on all cards or just your 199 (any amount you choose) select cards?
Now you've got it!
You want a selection of all ***** card's on-bar clips rated explicit & X rated(so you don't have to go hang around schoolyards & get in trouble :) )?
You've got it!
(And so do I !!!)
You wanna see all your DB cards, start to finish BUT want to save the rest of clips not played yet if you have to cut and run cause wifey(or hubby) just got home?
You've got it.
Simply the greatest ability to store & play What you want How you want to When you want In the Erotic level you want..

Example:Create a playlist of, say, your 50 best liked cards,save it as My FaveBabes.You can then play them in any combo...topless...topless on bar only...topless pole dancing...topless standing,Explicit on bar, explicit standing, etc.You can change the combos EACH time you play!

it's easy to do too...
(for the tech lite folk like me)
Basically:
Go to "my Collection"
deactivate all cards
Choose cards you want to activate into a playlist
click "more" then "save playlist"
Name playlist in "save favorites" screen that pops up
(you can delete playlists from there later if desired)
Activate vghdplay.jar (the "VG play set up" screen)
Choose playmode desired
Select input (start with "playlist" first I'd recommend)
Set (click on)filters to what you want to see (nudity levels, clip type, site(s) accessed.
hit "start"
then activate V on task bar.
Watch 'em dance and/or GirlFuck as you choose!

I think it's a good idea NOT to click "next model" "replay" "webpage" "heat up" when in play, but Starryk can answer this if I'm wrong..
I don't know about extra controls use yet.(slo mo etc.) ask Starry.

That's basically it..
Play around with the choices...make more playlists.

SOME I have:
TotalTeeny
FingerQueens
HoneyDolls (large breasts)
BigLegBabes
ShortySkirty
SweetSeductresses
...and then I got into merging babe types...
JenMaxPepitoAshleySatinAletta
BluAleskaDavon

It's easy to start creating combos when you relize you are more in control if the content.
(Hmmm..."Women who SEEM to be saying "Plas DO ME!!!"...I'm doin' the research now!)
:)

It's also a good way to see DB shows (newer ones with long clips especially) in order...just activate only the card you want, save it as playlist, name it, then hit Start & activate V!

Have fun playing on whatever level...
I know I was/am thrilled to play so focused a bevy of my FaveBabes for...er....EFFECT!
:)
Cheers!
Thanks again Starryk & Zebezuk!!

thank you Plas. Well the vip slow mo option should be ok but to select next clip, next model, next outfit will return the control which clip is being played next to VG Software and so it probably won't consider the filters set in my software.
So its indeed better not to use them. my program is for the folks who want to lay back and relax while watching the girls dance. if you often use the next model/next outfit options my program might not be the right thing for you.

Bless you! I've only been experimenting with it for about 30 minutes, but it looks like the dream come true card/clip viewer utility for the current VGHD version. You just made me one happy camper!

Thanks to my quick draw editor Starryk for that up to the minute bit o' correct info...
So quick ...like you were right behind me in my Yurt...Under the covers? ...behind the stacks of cd's?
I just wanna say the operative words are "lay back & relax" (I might add " then get tense, then REALLY relax" if I were ..um...a PornDawg!)
But "Let the girls dance 'n' sex" is what it's all about!


EDIT:
Oh "happy camper"...So... that's what the "kids" are callin' it these days!

@ALL,
Let me start by saying I am indeed so excited and elated for my mate starry as his hard work is finally on display!!!
I have been one of the few privileged few who was lucky to have received this program from starry a month or so back and have been just soooo lucky to have had the opportunity to play with it since then. Starry was just waiting for Rex's go ahead before we brought up this topic in the forums.
Now I must confess, that ever since I have had this program, I have hardly used the official GUI. This is what REAL EVOLUTION means for VGHD. This gives you TOTAL CONTROL over your cards and clips and how you interact with the software.

Now that I have starry's permission, I cant stop ranting and raving about this brilliant piece of EVOLUTIONARY program he has come up with. Its been a month since I have been playing with it, and I have had no issues or bugs at all. This is the STEP in the Right Direction and the true Evolutionary Accompaniment, if you will, for VGHD...
Ofcourse the real use will come when You do build various playlists and then presto!!!
Get entertained where you have total control...
In the past we have had WA's clip player for various versions, but THIS program is on a different level and I am sure WA will agree with me... I would love to hear from him about this and his thoughts as well as CV's, Cartref's and Rex and his team since Rex too got this program a while back...

Please cast your mind to when Rex released the current beta and I had posted a few posts regarding that we need real evolution and and more control over how we interact with the software and more control over our cards and clips. Well, I was in possession of this program even then, and that is why I said those things since Starry didnt want to speak about it till Rex's go ahead...

I am just so pleased for starry because HIS CONTRIBUTION to the virtuagirl community is just huge and right up there and it is only fitting that he would come up with this brilliant piece of technology (YES, That would be the word for his program :-)..

Hope everyone has fun with this program cos trust me, once u start using it, I doubt u will fall back on the original gui But not taking anything from the original Gui and eventually you will see that Starry's program is a perfect accompaniment to the original GUI... Or maybe the way round IMHO :-)....

So folks, start building those playlists if you want to really take advantage of this program and with starry's persmission, if anyone has any kind of questions regarding his program and functioning, pls feel free to ask and I'll be glad to answer and share my experiences :-)....

Here's to Starry... CHEERS, MY FRIEND...!!!!

P.S - Thanks to Zebra too for his contribution as he too is in an always giving mode as a far as the communtiy is concerned... Cheers Zebra :-)

Well damn.

Unfortunatly it is Incompatable for me as double clicking the .jar file opens Nokia Suite.

Once Nokia Suite is open it attempts to install Vghdplay on my Phone and then quits install as it is also Incompatable with my Nokia.

I will re-try after un-installing Nokia Suite.

Edit
After un-installing nokia suite still not compatable.
Pop up asks what program should be used to open the vghdplay.jar file with.

using Win7 fully updated with JRE installed.
Hope there is some kinda workaround.
If not Thanks anyway guys.

@bugzme: I would suggest that you install the JRE again. somehow nokia Suite took over the control over Java libraries on your system.
With uninstalling you removed that control but it didn't automatically give the control back to the JRE.
In the end its an entry in the registry telling Windows that jar files are to be started with the JRE. This entry was overwritten by the Nokia Suite. it might be possible that you can select the JRE in the dialogue where you can choose the program to use. But the easiest way will be to install the JRE again. Then the necessary entry will be written by the install procedure. I would however suggest to install the Nokia Suite first if you need it. Then reinstall the JRE. Nokia suite will still work then and my program will work too.

@bugzme,
Bugz, Just uninstall the JRE program from your control panel, restart windows, go to http://www.java.com/getjava/ and download java again... The latest version is Version 6,Update 31... This should do the trick.... But its important to uninstall Java first before installing again...

Also see in your uninstall program list if there is more than 1 version of JRE installed... It does happen sometimes though an older version is left behind with a newer version... So uninstall ALL versions of JRE before reinstalling...I am pretty sure if you uninstall and reinstall JRE, it should do the trick...

Thanks Starryk for this great addon. I'm trying it out now.

@bugzme:
I had the same issue. Reinstalling JRE didn't fix it for me.

As you'll see I'm even a little behind Plasonic on the techie part.

How do create a folder for the zip files and put into that folder? Then how do I unzip them to that folder? I have completed the porogram download and created a play list but then when I try to run the program it tells me that the "JRegistry.dll not present in the same folder as the jar.file."

This sounds like the way to go with the girls so Thank You Starrky! I had tried WA program but it was not in my capacity to get it to work.

@HarleyCharley: The zip file already has the jar file in an extra folder(see first screenshot
If you unzip it all needed files should be in the correct folder.
Just tell me if you look into the folder where the jar file is does it look like seen on the 2nd screenshot attached to this message? Are all these files there? If yes and you double click on the jar file and still get the message then it must have another cause.

@all:Don't start the jar file from within the zip file. The programs that can handle zip files often offer that. But this won't work. Unzip it first. click with the right mouse button on the zip file and look for an option called Extract or Unzip or Unpack or something like that. For the non english user it might be something in your language.
For German its Datei entpacken or just Entpacken or Extrahieren

I checked and yes my file looks like your 2nd screenshot.

I clicked on the file it put on the desktop, I right clicked and extract came up, it opened another file with the play list in it but when I open the playlist all that comes up is read me. When I get this working I'm sure it will be great!

@HarleyCharlie: now you ***** me. If you extract it creates a new folder. and in that folder is the readme text and another folder. and within that folder all the files can be found like seen on the second screenshot. And when you click on the vghdplay.jar when you see all the other files too you get the error you posted in your first post?

Edit: just did the same as you said. Put the file on my desktop and extracted it there. then i opened the folder that was created.
You can see on the screenshot how the content of this folder looks.
Another folder that contains the jar file and all other needed files and the readme.txt file. Just double click on the folder VGPlaylistManager to open it and then on the vghdplay.jar.

Yes I get the same message as in the first post.

Where do I start the program maybe that is the problem? I have been trying to start the program from the "vghdplay.jar Executable jar file" is that the correct place to start?

@HarleyCharley: if you select complete colllection it will take some time.
You should then get a popup telling you how many shows and clips are in the playlist the program builds. Do you get that popup? Not the error message anymore?

@Starryk: big compliments, your programs looks great!
A question: is it possible to select individual clips & save them to a playlist like in WA's app?

@member84392371:
No this is not possible. The output playlist is always a result of filtering. you can for example make a playlist with one show then use my program to filter only the topless on taskbar clips and save them in a new playlist.

@HarleyCharley: I think i found why nothing happens. you get the same error as before but sadly as you don't use Playlist as input but complete collection you don't get the error message.
I fixed that now in my program but this won't help you. It will just prevent that nothing happens.Instead there will now be an error message(the one you know already)
I am not sure why the program can't find the dll although it is in the same folder as the jar file.
I have an idea but that would be too technical for you to understand.
Can you tell me what version of Windows you use? (Windows XP, Vista or 7 and if you know it 32 or 64 bit)
