Availability of JavaFX build incorporating JDK-8366217 fix

[Bryon Dunkley-Smith]

Thank you for your guidance Nir.

 

At this stage building JavaFX is beyond me. So I’ll just monitor the progress of early releases and test once a build contains the fix of interest.

Hi Bryon,

 

The fastest ways are building JavaFX and testing it immediately, or waiting a bit until the early-access build contains that fix (https://jdk.java.net/javafx26/).

Hi All,

 

Apologies in advance if the terminology in my question is incorrect as I’m somewhat out of my depth here.

 

I have been monitoring https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8305842 (Video sometimes does not start when reinitializing in Windows 11) for progress with interest because I have a legacy JavaFX based application which has functioned flawlessly for several years, but since upgrading from Win10 to Win1, there has been intermittent/random failures of videos playing with a ERROR_MEDIA_INVALID being thrown, even though I’ve used the same “media” with success previously and it often runs without error. 

 

So when I saw https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8366217 (Update GStreamer to 1.26.5), I wondered if the update to GStreamer may resolve my issue of intermittent/random failures of videos.

 

I see that “This pull request has now been integrated.” and being ignorant of how this finds its way into a release of JavaFX, could someone advise me of how I would know if a version (early release?) is available incorporating this “fix” and where I can download it from.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryon
