Download of TV-Browser 3.0 RC1

After a long time TV-Browser 3.0 (Beta2) is a version that comes with new features. You will find features wished countless times and also new features you wouldn't dream of. The most important new features are:

• Presentation: The program table shows tool tips. They show which Plugin has highlighted the program, when the program ends and more
• Clear arrangement: Long tiltle are shorten, the default information are shorter, the column width was optimized and more. Of course you are able to change this behavior.
• State of the art: Changes for Java 6, Java 7, OpenJDK, Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.10
• Integration: TV-Browser is now better integrated in the different platforms, so shortcuts, naming, menu position, color or other details will fit much better.
• Performance: This version is also faster (and saves memory) than the previous version and that despite the new features.

Though some changes you may find some Plugins that won't work with TV-Browser 3.0 (Beta2). Please inform the developer of the Plugin to get a new version.

Like always TV-Browser 3.0 (Beta2) fixes bugs of the previous version, but as a beta version it may contains bugs, so this version should only be tested by users who are experienced.

A few days ago we asked for a new Server. Our current Server can't handle the current load. Today we can anounce that domainFACTORY will help us with a server and their long hosting experience. With this new server we can continue our grow. Thanks to everyone who offered a new server.

The new server will go live in the next few days and the domains will move to it. We will try to reduce the outage to a minimum. Don't be afraid. TV-Browser will work without the main server. That's because we have many other people offering some server capacity. A list of our supporters can be found here.

We badly need a dedicated server to host our website, the forum and the data processing. Our current server doesn't have the needed performance and the payment is also no longer possible.

So we need someone who is willing to provide us with a free dedicated server. We will gladly provide a "Hosted by ..." sticker on each of our pages to repay for the free server.

We need about 500GB traffic per month and at least 2GB RAM (better would be 4GB), contact under: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

For developers the best place to look at is our ticket system and our Wiki. There are a lot of todos. We can also discuss new ideas you might have at our forum. We will certainly help you at the forum if you have some problems.

TV-Browser provides a broad field of interesting tasks, from the programming of graphical user interfaces to the deep introduction into data structures is everything present. It gets never boring and afterwards you know what you have created and that it will be useful for people all over the world. It is desirable for the development of TV-Browser if new developers with different ideas and concepts join the team. It is to be kept in mind that a growing experience in programming will also be helpful in professional life, and the collaboration in a big and well-known OpenSource project is always a good in an application.

Non-developers can also help. There are some suggestions on our Mithelfen page in the Wiki. E.g. you could start with translating that page for the english Version of our Wiki.
