Happy birthday TV-Browser is now 10 years old. We have opened a thread for all of you who want to thank us for our work. Feel free to post in English in the German section of the TV-Browser message board.
If you have problems with the start of TV-Browser under Windows with the new Java update you can read here what to do against it.
TV-Browser brings new languages with version 3.3. Added were Croatian and Greek. Since TV-Browser 3.3 it is possible to install additional languages in the settings of TV-Browser.
Date separators were added for better orientation in the program lists of the plugins. Bugs of the previous version were fixed and the third party libraries were updated. This can cause older plugins to cease function. Updates are available for plugins that are provided by the TV-Browser team.
The list with the changes can be found here.
TV-Browser speeds up. Older versions of TV-Browser were heavily troubled with a huge number of Favorite programs, so it went a little bit on the slow side. That's an issue of the past with TV-Browser 3.2.1. The speed when using with tabs was also improved and you can use the tree view in a tab. TV-Browser 3.2.1 can join two channels that are side by side in the program table if the data provider enabled it or the channels have separate time restrictions. TV-Browser 3.2.1 also fixes bugs, one severe that could have destroyed your filter component list when a plugin was deleted or disabled was also fixed.
Data provider can add more than one country to a channel, so for instance the channel 3sat can be filtered in TV-Browser for Germany and Swiss also beside the current filter for Austria.
You will find the list with all changes here.
Today we proudly present TV-Browser 3.2, it's the most advanced TV-Browser ever now with tab support. Until now plugins had to open their own windows to provide you with informations but since TV-Browser 3.2 they are able to show that information in the main window of TV-Browser. So you will get a far better accessibility to you're favorites, reminders and all other plugins that support the tabs. Plugins can also show a completely other program presentation than the program table like the Timeline plugin does.
The program info now has an information and navigation bar, you will find many new predefined filters for your convenience and some other improvements. TV-Browser 3.2 also fixes bugs for better stability. We've worked on better Persona support to make TV-Browser look gorgeous on every operating system. Note that the Personas are now disabled by default and TV-Browser 3.2 will take the font sizes from your system settings for better accessibility.
So we highly recommend to update to TV-Browser 3.2 to profit from the better user experience. We also suggest to look at the list of available plugins after the update to TV-Browser 3.2 because it has grown slightly since the last update of TV-Browser. Since this version we provide an own installation package for Fedora.
To the download of TV-Browser 3.2.TV-Browser is becoming colorful. To Halloween, Christmas, season or any other event, TV-Browser 3.1 can look fitting for the own taste with support of Personas. For all that like it classical the old GUI is still available.
The program table will look more like the selected LookAndFeel theme with TV-Browser 3.1. How TV-Browser can look you can see here.
For easy handling and installing of new Personas the plugin PersonaHandler can be installed with the plugin download of TV-Browser. For those who only want to select the used Persona or to disable the Personas look at the graphical settings of TV-Browser.

For your information again, TV-Browser 3.1 also is shipped without the most plugins. All plugins are easy installable with the plugin download of TV-Browser.
TV-Browser is Plugin based, so most functions are done with installable components (Plugins). This includes the Plugins for the TV data.
Because everybody needs different function, TV-Browser 3.0.2 will not contain the most Plugins that were delivered with TV-Browser in the past. You can easily install the needed Plugins with the download function of TV-Browser. Additional for the meantime there will be a Plugin package that can be downloaded and installed with Drag'n'Drop in the program table, that contains all Plugins that were delivered with TV-Browser in the past. But no rule without exception, the News plugin will still be delivered with TV-Browser so you can receive News about TV-Browser. Besides that the four basic Plugins Favorites, Reminders, Program info and Search are also contained in TV-Browser.
