You will have a hard time finding any TV without some smart functions but that should not be a problem. Just buy the TV with the best screen for the best price and don't use any of the smart functions. You can even do that now 🙂

@Deepak Suresh Ya I gave up and got an android tv box much better. No more WebOS for me. Next tv will be anything without it.

Hi Ken, I sure that resetting your TV probably is not going to help, the problem is that the webOS browser does not play nicely with the embedded player used on the site. From what I can tell timelesstoday.tv uses JW Player (https://www.jwplayer.com) which is based around Javascript, which in turn it appears the webOS browser does not support, or pretty much any other plugin. That said other TV brands probably would not work either going by various bits and pieces I have read. Here is LG's information page on the browser: https://www.lg.com/uk/support/product-help/CT00008334-1435838149474-web-browser-specifications-operation Basically it is limited in what it can do, a conscious decision I expect by LG to save having to reinvent the wheel by programming for technologies that have really had their day. Of course if the timelesstoday.tv site embedded its audio and video files with HTML5 instead there would likely be no problem with playback. This is because the webOS browser (as of 2016, latest figures I could find) has the best Smart TV browser support for HTML5: http://html5test.com/results/other.html#television In summary, HTML5 good, everything else bad. JW Player $50 per month (https://www.jwplayer.com/pricing/), HTML5 free.

I have stopped using the LG media viewer in favor of the Plex app. Initially I didn't use the Plex app because it wouldn't discover my media server and LG viewer would. It turned to be I wasn't signed into my Plex Media Software. Once I signed in it all worked perfect with the PLex client software. I used LG viewer because it found my media server regardless of whether I was signed in or not. The Plex app is Waaaay better than the built in LG viewer. It has no problem with any type of subtitle or multiple subtitles. If you still need to use the LG viewer use a program called mkvmerge to embed the SRT file into the MKV file. If there are multiple types of subtitle files in the MKV file make sure the SRT file comes before all the rest.
