Hi.

I've been using FRD for years on Linux Mint 17.3 with no problems at all. Couple days ago I installed Linux Mint 21.2 and can't make FRD work. When trying to check for new plugins I got "javax/xml/bind/ValidationEventHandler" error message. Without updating plugins I am not able to add any urls from ceskatelevize.cz. That ValidationEventHandler has got something to do with Sun Java I guess but before I start removing current Java on my system and installing Oracle Java, which I dont need for anything else than FRD, I tried this:

On another computer with Windows I unzipped FRD, exceuted it, checked for new plugins, then copied VitySoft\FRD folder to .FRD folder on computer with Linux. It's possible now to insert ceskatelevize.cz urls for download because all updates are in plugins folder I have from Windows. But download doesnt start and I get this error message: ERROR-cz/vity/freerapid/plugins/services/applehls/AdjustableBitrateHlsDownloader

Can be this solved to start downloads and finally get FRD working?

Can you attach app.log from the VitySoft\FRD folder after getting both of these errors?

Sat Mar 30 17:40:38 CET 2024 WARNING: Couldn't create fir /home/candy/.FRD

I run FRD by opening the file "frd.jar" with "OpenJDK Java 11 Runtime".
candy (/home/candy/) is my computer.

Oh, sorry, you were asking for log files, not copypasting...

This is a weird issue, it's probably because FRD (and the libraries it's using) is so old that it doesn't work with Java 11. Which Java version are you using on Windows? Is it possible for you to use Java 8 on Mint? (OpenJDK 8 is fine)

I forgot to say I had tried to run FRD with Open JDK 8 also, with the exact same result. On Windows I installed Java 8 (jre-8u401-windows-x64.exe) and FRD worked fine after that.

I downloaded both Java 7 and 6 packages for Linux and will try to install them tomorrow, I am not very experienced user in compiling/installing and am struggling with it right now. If I wont get FRD work I will use it with Windows.

Thanks for help!

My memory is a bit rusty because it's been a while, but apparently version 1.0beta should work on Java 11. If you're using 0.9u4, could you please try 1.0beta? This is what you should use in any case, sorry that it's not on the main download page. [wordrider.net]

Everything works with 1.0beta! Thanks a lot, ntoskrnl!
