This product was the BEST DVD Collection software out there, kinda still is, which is what sucks the most. But the company is trash & refuses to make ANY efforts to communicate with its customers or update it's product. A halfway-decent coder could update this for 64-bit for a small fee, which I'm sure the community here (myself included) would be more than happy to cover. But they're not even trying, which should tell you everything.
For me, what "sucks" the most is self-centered individuals that don't consider the impact of their words. If you don't like the site, simply stop using it. What Invelos is doing or not doing tells you nothing except what they are doing or not doing. It imputes nothing about circumstances or motives.
For example, would you want us to consider as motivation for your nasty post, that you might be developing a competitive offering and want to get rid of, what you admit is still likely to be the best DVD Collection software? Well of course not, and no well-meaning person would say or think that about your motives. | Posted: Topic Replies: 32, Topic Views: 45409 |

Ok, got it. I was totally confused about the issue you were describing. I thought it had to do with displaying cached images from AppData that worked on Win10, but not WIn11. So, scratch that.
I have confirmed that your supplied URL does not work inside a DVDProfiler HTML window, even on Windows 10. When I substituted another random image URL, it displayed properly.
By the way, here is the image URL I used. It reveals a method that Invelos uses to pass an image to the browser. It displays properly in an HTML window. Could you use something similar?
"http://www.invelos.com/getopenresource.axd?id=14813"
I Googled it:

2. .axd files:
.
These are HTTP Handler files in ASP.NET applications that handle embedded resource requests, like JavaScript and CSS files. They are generated at runtime when using ScriptManager.
Seems like it would be simple to replicate the code. | Posted: Topic Replies: 18, Topic Views: 13761 |

That being said, I have no idea where the application caches those images.
I'm still confused. I already posted details on that based on one of my plugins. I must be missing something. Sadly, I do not have windows 11. Otherwise I would look at it directly rather than theorizing. | Posted: Topic Replies: 18, Topic Views: 13761 |

I took a fresh look at this just now and discovered that the issue can only be replicated when attempting to display images from my web space! Example provided below for "Landman: Season One".
Below is the HTML (minus the <> at each end) used to display the thumbnail (400x225) for Episode 1. In DVD Profiler for PC a broken image link is shown within the HTML Window used for the "Overview" section.
img src="https://www.lowpro.net/phpdvdprofiler/bd/overview/191329277447/s1e01.jpg
The original image (1920x1080) was obtained from Amazon Prime so I figured why not. Let's try hotlinking to the image instead resizing accordingly.
img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/pv-target-images/0146f47b3c5a07c9ca51a483ef9d8c43d09a2270ebb7544a6fae34cff5721248.jpg" width="400" height="225"
Well look at that. DVD Profiler for PC displays the image without issue. Rinse and repeat for all 10 episodes. No issues. I then tried random images from various websites including this one. Again, no issues.
So it appears the issue here is limited to images residing on my secure web space, i.e. "https://www.lowpro.net", the file permissions having been reset for good measure since encountering this issue. Sadly that hasn't helped. And again, no issues with DVD Profiler for iOS or a conventional web browser. I also added my website as a Trusted Site to IE.
Any thoughts? I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Well, short of finding a different provider to host my website. At least I've narrowed down the scope of the issue. That's something I guess.
Wait, I thought you were using HTML windows where the images are cached in AppData. Seems you have switched horses on me. When rendering images from PHP, you will get them from your web space, but if you are processing HTML pages, the images will be coming from the AppData cache. BUt I don't know how your web site interacts with Profiler HTML windows. | Posted: Topic Replies: 18, Topic Views: 13761 |

... XML to update phpDVDProfiler.
Have I ever asked you about a plugin to do that from a Profiler menu? It has been a thought for years. I do have a "plugin for non non-plugin writers" if you have an interest in doing that for fun. All the plugin scaffolding is done for you. You write your own code in C# to do the work. Maintenance is simply updating your dll in the host plugin folder. | Posted: Topic Replies: 18, Topic Views: 13761 |

I have a feeling that this is one of those where we are all gonna go "D'oh" when you figure it out!  | Posted: Topic Replies: 18, Topic Views: 13761 |

Here are my notes from the HTTPJolie Command Reference. These notes are for the "HTML" command, which retrieves the contents of an HTML window. Notice my comment about this working for windows that have been displayed at least once. That may be your problem. The cache in AppData is not built until the window has been displayed one or more times. I hope this helps.

Note:
HTML sections are cached in the user's AppData folder when they have been displayed at least once . The
"list" option displays a list of the cached html files found in the c:\users\username\appdata\dvd
profiler\temp\design folder. There are several folders under that folder with some kind of hashed name that
coresponds to the HTML section. This auther has not been able to decode the hash. Each folder has a file
named "index.html" which is the fully rendered HTML section with all DPVARs resolved. When "cached1",
"cached2", ... is suppled as the view parameter, HTMLJoile reads the index.html corresponding to the list
index, converts all local images to encoded byte strings, and responds to the GET request with the HTML
contents. The calling browser or program then processes the contents as desired (such as simply
displaying it.)
I think HTTPJolie has code that forces the HTML window to appear, but I'm not sure and I don't feel up to reading my old code unless this hint isn't enough - I will gladly do it for you.
By the way, I'm guessing that the hash codes do not survive across sessions. That might be why the links are broken. My code scans for "index.html" to retrieve the list of HTML windows. | Posted: Topic Replies: 18, Topic Views: 13761 |

| Oh, I just remembered, I have code for HTML windows in HTTPJolie. Let me take a look. | Posted: Topic Replies: 18, Topic Views: 13761 |

| DVD Profiler does not usually store images for HTML windows in AppData. Do you have a mismatch in expected default folders somewhere? (shooting in the dark here) | Posted: Topic Replies: 18, Topic Views: 13761 |
