Before installing TV-Browser you should install Java.

To install

  • Windows: Installer
  • Mac OS X: Open the disk image and start the installer
  • Other: Extract the zip file or look for alternative packages.

If you want to install TV-Browser for multiple users you can change the TV listings folder to a shared directory. This helps to reduce the traffic generated by TV-Browser. Since our traffic is donated to us, everyone should try to use as little as possible.

If you have problems with the installation, please read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) or post your question in the TV-Browser Forum.

A TV-Browser installation consists of the following files and directories:

Installation directory

imgs/ The images
plugins/ This directory contains the plugins. If you download plugins from the internet, move them into this folder. TV-Browser will automatically detect them.
themepacks/ This directory contains the skins for TV-Browser. You can also put them into any other directory.
tvdataservice/ This directory contains the TV-DataServices. The default installation contains exactly one TV-DataService, called TvBrowserDataService, which loads the TV listings of TV-Browser.


Home directory

The Home directory contains the respective users' settings.
