TV-Browser

Today we can finally release TV-Browser 4.2. The release took a little longer because the changes to Java 11 had to be tested to make sure everything works fine.

Windows users will now get a new form of TV-Browser packages. It's no longer needed to install a JRE on the system because TV-Browser will be shipped with it's own JRE that only contains the needed functions, so it's much smaller than a system wide JRE.

For users with other operation systems all keeps the same, just that TV-Browser now needs a Java 11 JRE to run.

Of course TV-Browser 4.2 also contains new features and bug fixes, espacially those who use high definition screens will finallly be able to use TV-Browser. A full list of the changes can be found in the changelog.

To the download of TV-Browser 4.2.

TV-Browser for Android 0.7 vP final is now available publicly at GooglePlay (if you decide to use the GooglePlay variant please consider rating it at GooglePlay). It is customized to work with Android 8 also. At the same time the free variant of TV-Browser for Android 0.7 was also published at GitHub.

It's not possible to install both variants on one device, you have to settle for one variant. You also cannot switch between variants without setting up the new installed variant again. But you can backup your settings, channels, Favorites and I don't want to see list with the help of the synchronization function and import that backup in any variant of TV-Browser.

For easy update of the free variant you can install the TV-Browser UpdatePlugin, it will search for new versions of TV-Browser regularly. To install TV-Browser free for the first time, it's also recommended to use the TV-Browser UpdatePlugin.

Today TV-Browser has reached it's 15th birthday. To celebrate this occasion TV-Browser is back on Google Play thanks to Thorsten Giesecke.

Since it was necessary to release it as a new app at Google Play (with some limitations compared to the free version) it's currently only available for beta testers, but everybody can become a beta tester, just follow the link: become a beta tester of TV-Browser vP. To install the beta version you further have to deinstall the current TV-Browser app on your device.

To make sure your data can be restored, use the synchronization function of TV-Browser to upload your channels, favorites and settings configuration of the installed TV-Browser app.

If you prefer to keep your current (free) version of TV-Browser without limitations you can also test the new beta version with manually downloading and installing it on your device. In the future a plugin will be available that checks for new versions of the free TV-Browser and will be able to download and install it without you having to do it manually.
