OK, I figured it out ...

You have installed a really old version of the software ... from March of 2008, actually. I'm actually pleased to see it working as well as it is :)

You might want to install the latest version (it has had quite a number of changes since then). You can find the current version here. You should be able to simply drop the files from the zip over top of the files you have and run an update. It will remember all of your settings ....

Ahh. Ok.

I had tried to get it working before and couldn't...couldn't get the host stuff figured out at that point. 
When I decided to try again I just use the file I still had somewhere.

I'll try to get the update installed.

I got the files uploaded and stuff updated...it was taking several tries to get the collection stuff updated - it did that to me before too..and I read that others had that problem.  So I just kept restarting it.  But I wasn't expecting to have to do it several times and I had to leave with it only partly done.
Anyway, I got that finished after I got home.  

It is working good from my end..though I don't know what audio stuff you said didn't look right before.

I just looked at the statistics stuff...I have graphs now.  There is an error about a few fonts - I'll try to get those uploaded later - but there are graphs now.

Dragonfire

I uploaded those fonts and I still have the errors for them.

The error message says "cannot find /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf". There's definitively a "jpgraph" missing in that path, since the file is to be found under http://dragonfire88.byethost2.com/phpdvdprofiler/jpgraph/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf

Check the file jpg-config.inc in the jpgraph directory (simply open it with a text editor like Notepad) and look for an entry like this:

DEFINE("TTF_DIR","./jpgraph/fonts/truetype/");

I found this....

// define('CACHE_DIR','/tmp/jpgraph_cache/');
#
// define('TTF_DIR','/usr/share/fonts/truetype/');
#
// define('MBTTF_DIR','/usr/share/fonts/truetype/');

OK, then take my code snippet and add it just under these lines and try it again.

Is it really that easy to upgrade from an older version? To just overwrite all the files from the zip folder into my install folder on the host? I have been reluctant to try and upgrade as I remember so little from my initial installation a few years ago that I was afraid of buggering up my existing version which still works fine for me.   :fingerchew:

Same error.

Here's what is in the file now.

// define('CACHE_DIR','/tmp/jpgraph_cache/');
// define('TTF_DIR','/usr/share/fonts/truetype/');
// define('MBTTF_DIR','/usr/share/fonts/truetype/');
// define("TTF_DIR","./jpgraph/fonts/truetype/");

I copied over the files into the different directories on my server and it worked for me.

ok..thought since the others had that, it needed it too.

It works. :)

Thank you so much again.

Hopefully I can stop bugging you all about this stuff now.

So you watched one disc around the time jesus was born (can't see what it was though) and then some at the end of 1899 :hmmmm: Then you started regualr watching in 2001. Does that sound about right? :devil:

In short, unless clearly done on purpose (actual watch date unknown) you might want to check out and correct those.
