Thank you for the clarification. I kept chasing this only because I thought I needed to test with Java 9 and that the only way to do so was by installing the entire JDK.

And why doesn't the "Update now" button in the Java CP find the newer version?
Because Oracle changed everything from Java 9 onward, including any links such as "Update now".
"Update now" DOES NOT WORK ANY LONGER. Ignore it and install Java 24. It is a jdk, there are no more separate runtime ...

1. Go to the link Graham provided: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
2. About half-way down the page you will see "Linux macOS Windows" , click on Windows
3. There you will have a choice of a compressed zip, an exe installer, or an msi installer
Well, apparently I'd done that ...

Well, this turned into a long road. Please excuse my ignorance, I have no experience with Java development and minimal with Linux.

I downloaded the JDK 24 but was unsure how to install using the tar.gz under Windows (as there doesn't appear to be an .exe installer nor a .msi package). In the ...

I discovered I was unable to download a newer version of Java as the v.9 seems to be restricted to developers who have an Oracle account, which I do not.
I don't know where you were looking. Here is a link to Java 24 which explicitly says "JDK 24 binaries are free to use in production and free to ...

Ok, I downloaded the latest RMIR (which is a minor version higher than the one I was using, 3.2.7 vs. 3.2.0) and did as you suggested - new folder, opened the RMIR in question, added a new Roku device and...same symptoms. I was surprised actually.

Ok Mark, as none of us are able to re-produce your RMIR issue, it has to be something in your setup that's doing it. So, here's what I suggest, take a fresh download of RMIR and load it into a brand-new folder, so everything's fresh, then start again. Start with the RMIR file that you posted for me ...

I may be wrong, but t appears to me that the JRE is numbered differently than the SDK and that v.8 is indeed the latest.
I take that back, I just found this page .

I'm tied up right now but should I try installing that later or hold off for now, since v.8 is supposed to be fine? And why doesn't ...

I was asking which version of Java that RMIR is using.

In RMIR, go to Help > About > then scroll down to System Properties

System Properties:
java.version = "20.0.1"
java.vendor = "Oracle Corporation"
os.name = "Windows 10"
os.arch = "amd64"

Oh, sorry - this is what I see:

I just downloaded v3.2.0 and tried it again and it still works fine. Could it be your Java version? When I go to Help > About I see that I have java.version = "20.0.1"
Is this on Windows 10? Because when I look at "About" in the Java Control Panel it says "Version 8 Update 451 (build 1.8.0_451-b10 ...

Rob, I just shut down my PC (sending this from my phone) and heading out - I'll check that in the a.m.

Thanks

From "About": RM Setup Editor (RMIR) v3.2.0

Yes, I opened the RMIR you sent and everything looked fine - although I didn't actually test anything tbh - but the protocol parameters appeared correct. Out of curiosity, I deleted the Roku 4.251 device and re-added it, and it displayed the same behavior ...

I am interested because I've never heard of RMIR doing that before, and I am having trouble believing that it's doing it now. We can leave it as is, and I'll just assume it's user error, or you can post the files as I requested, and I'll look into it.
Makes sense - I've uploaded it here .

I only used your old file because you haven't posted a recent one. If you'd like my help, please zip together the RMIR file that you're starting with and all the RMDU files that you want to add to it, and I'll see if I can do it.
I appreciate that, but I don't think you need to spend any more time ...
