I recently installed DVD Profiler 4.0 Build 1762 under Windows 11 Home.  Prior I had only run DVD Profiler under Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  That being said, everything is working great with one exception.  For the "Overview" section of my profiles I use a HTML Window, my TV series profiles including numerous images which are stored online, not locally.  Below is a recent example, my online profile for the TV series, "Landman".


(Click on the image above to view my online profile for this title.)

The images populate without issue when viewing the profile via my phpDVDProfiler based website per the above.  The images also populate without issue when viewing the profile via the DVD Profiler mobile app which I sync directly with DVD Profiler for PC.  Within DVD Profiler for PC however all the image links are broken.  Accessing the properties of the HTML Window (file:///C:/Users/ASUS/AppData/Local/DVD%20Profiler/Temp/Design/3B878279A04DC47D60932CB294D96259/index.html) the temp HTML page populates the images without issue as well via my web browser.  See below.

So what gives?  Any thoughts?  I'm logged in to Windows 11 with local admin rights.  I have Full Control over the folder where DVD Profiler is installed, the executable set to run as an administrator.  I turned off Windows Firewall for good measure and still no dice.  None of the image links populate within DVD Profiler for PC.  They're all broken.  No issues with my Windows 7 build.

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)

Thanks for chiming in.  I'll take a look at that.  All my images are stored online.  DVD Profiler does cache the images for a given profile's HTML window locally once viewed for the first time.  Not sure where that folder location is though.  Well, at present all I get are broken image links.  Perhaps that's the issue.  Perhaps DVD Profiler for PC is failing to cache the images locally, hence they aren't being displayed within the HTML window.

So that's the path to the html file being used by DVD Profiler, but what is the path for the images within the html file? Are the images actually in the file location the html file is specifying?

Any images that populate within the HTML window for a given profile are cached.  The cached images are then displayed going forward short of performing a right click and selecting the refresh option.  That being said, the images aren't cached in that temp folder.  Not sure where they're cached.

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.
