Ok so I have a sony smart tv. it has google play and uses google chrome as its browser. I am having trouble launching projects. I can get to the main screen in chrome however when I try to launch a project or the designer, it gives me a download popup. it will never open java or actually open the screen. went to the downloads and found them. tried to open but I get a popup of failed to open. any ideas? went to java website but couldn’t find a java download for a tv ---

If you can’t run Java on the TV, you’ll have to use the [mobile module](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/scada-software/mobile-scada-hmi) to run clients. (Try the demo to make sure it works, as we don’t test with smart tvs). A quick g-search seems in indicate that you won’t be able to install Java, but check with Sony to be sure. ---

the only way I could get this to work is running the mobile apps. no way to download java just as you explained. we are adding a thin client to be able to view easily. Thanks
