Availability of JavaFX build incorporating JDK-8366217 fix

[Bryon Dunkley-Smith]

Thank you for your feedback Alexander.

 

>From what I can see there doesn’t seem to have been any, but do you know if there has been any progress towards a resolution of JDK-8305842 and if not, what would trigger activity on that?

 

I’m surprised JDK-8305842 has remained unresolved because I assume many others must have encountered this bug. I have certainly had “conversations” with others (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/javafx-mediaview-under-win11.166839/ & https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jmediaview.166994/) who have also encountered it. In my case since updating from Win10 to Win 11 earlier this year, I have had to abandon using the feature in my basketball stats display application which shows a sequence of short videos because of the random/intermittent/flaky nature of the symptom and reverted to use of a separate application (vMix) to do this, which is disappointing/inconvenient.

 

Incidentally, thank you to this community which I find very welcoming and supportive, especially for someone like me who is somewhat out of their depth.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryon

Hi Bryon,

 

No, JDK-8366217 does not resolve JDK-8305842. JDK-8305842 is still reproducible on Windows 11 with JDK-8366217.

 

Thanks,

Alexander

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> 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> 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
