TV-Browser-Forum

Hi,

I just wanted to check if the version 4.2.1 will only work with Java 11.

I'm still using 4.0.1 and would like to upgrade to 4.2.1 as it contains some fixes for hd screens that would be useful.

I must have Sun Java 8 on my system as it's required by two other programmes I use and I'm not sure if it's advisable to run Java 11 along side it just for TV-Browser as the two Java's may conflict with each other.

Can you advise me about this please as if I have to use Java 11 then it might be better to stay with 4.0.1.

Thank you.

Hi,

you can install 4.2.1 as transportable version with there own Java executable's.
That's the same behavior what I have installed.
Java 8 system wide definition and only for tvbrowser java in the tvbrowser folder.

You'll found the java files at tvbrowsers sourceforge home as a zip file.

If you are on Windows the easiest way to install it, is to use the TV-Browse full package: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tvbrow ... e/download
It comes with Java 11 and it will only be used by TV-Browser if installed into the TV-Browser directory, which is the default behaviour. You still can keep Java 8 on the system. Sorry, I've just been too lazy to translate the install page for TV-Browser for Windows.

Sorry I should have said in my initial post that I was using the Windows 10 operating system.

I think then the best thing to do is make a back up of my data folder, uninstall 4.0.1 and then install the full package of 4.2.1 from the link given.

If it doesn't work or I get a Java conflict then I can always uninstall and go back to 4.0.1.

If there's a problem I'll come back on here to report it, but I think it should be ok from the comments made.

Thanks for the help.

It will work.
