Please note this is editing the Ruby Install not the SimpleStats Script. If you update ruby after this fix you might need to re-apply it.
Please use caution editing your files. Edit at your own risk.

Basically you need to open the document.rb file, find the:

def write( output=$stdout, indent=-1, trans=false, ie_hack=false )
etc.

and replace with:

def write( output=$stdout, indent=-1, transitive=false,
ie_hack=false )
       if xml_decl.encoding != "UTF-8" && !output.kind_of?(Output)
         output = Output.new( output, xml_decl.encoding )
       end

Note that you need to delete the original def write( all the way to its end statement which is a few lines and replace with the new bit. After that it works fine for me. I was seeing same issue on friends computer but this solved it.

I’ve been tyring to get your stats to work with my JW player and i have been able to generate the .log file properly, however, when i run the Ruby script, i get the following error:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:186:in `write’: undefined local variable
or method `transitive’ for … :REXML::Document (NameError)
from ./SVG/Graph/Graph.rb:211:in `burn’
from SimpleStats.rb:344:in `simple_summary_bar_chart’
from SimpleStats.rb:343:in `open’
from SimpleStats.rb:343:in `simple_summary_bar_chart’
from SimpleStats.rb:409

and the SVG file is created but at 0 bytes ..

it’s difficult to track all of the updates in the various threads on the JW forums, so i’d appreciate if you could contact me directly ..

are you still planning to update the script?

are you familiar with the error i’m getting? should i reinstall ruby?

I’m running windows XP 64 bit, by the way

many thanks
