George Hofmeister replied to Prasenjit Kanrar's question in LG webOS Smart TV Questions
Hi @Prasenjit Kanrar Do Lionsgate actually produce an app for the webOS platform? -
External hard drive confusion
George Hofmeister replied to Scotty's question in LG webOS Smart TV Questions
Hi @Scotty Haven't been on the forum for a while so you may have found an answer to your question by now. Recently I was running a 4TB Western Digital portable (unpowered) drive on a 2019 & 2022 LG TVs, now I have an 8TB desktop (powered) unit which works well. -
Hi @Nixon Sylvester Generally this means that the website may not been written well enough to recognise the webOS browser identification string and/or the version of WebKit and other technologies used is not supported by the site. This really does not mean that the site would not work at all, rather that the site provider does not want to spend the time, effort and money to provide the compatibility. To date I have not test my 2022 TV to see what the HMTL5 comparability scores are. I will report back when I have had a chance to do so. It may have been better for LG to have recompiled an existing browser to run on webOS, as building a web browser from scratch is a complicated thing.

Hi @Nixon Sylvester We guys are not going to update anything on LG as this is a user-to-user forum. Which streaming sites, what standards are they using and which 2023 standards are you referring to? LG do not make apps for the platform as they do not have access to the information that would be needed to create an app for a client's infrastructure. Companies such as Disney et al are not going to give a third party access to their proprietary information and servers. If you would like an app produced you need to badger the content providers to do it.

Hi @PoeyYong Wong If we knew what model your NAS was the forum could probably confirm whether it supports DNLA, which if it does should show up in webOS is configured correctly. Using an app such as Plex or Emby would give you an overall better experience than just using DNLA though (in my opinion).

Smart TV Bluetooth volume
George Hofmeister replied to Chris Cawley's question in LG webOS Smart TV Questions
Hi @Chris Cawley Have a look at this article: https://techbuzzireland.com/2023/02/05/what-causes-low-bluetooth-volume-in-your-android-and-how-to-fix-it/ Failing that not helping there seems to be plenty of videos out there that might help: https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=volume+from+android+device+to+portable+speaker+low Please let us know if any of the above helps. -
Hi @JeanF The short answer is no, the long one is yes but only if you or someone else creates it for the platform. It is not as simple as actually taking an existing browser, say like Chrome, and installing it on the platform. (mansplaining over...)

Hi @feaco I am afraid that while this feature is a popular ask here on the forum, as of this post it is not an option that LG have implemented. Raising the issue via LG's Twitter feed would be my go to starting point.

Hi @Chris Cawley Could you provide some details to help other users help you? Which model of TV, what Bluetooth device are you having issues with, and is the problem that you are unable to increase the volume at all because it is fixed at a particular level? -

Plex unusable on webos
George Hofmeister replied to Lgrump's question in LG webOS Smart TV Questions
Hi @Lgrump I suppose it is going to be a Plex issue as they produce the app, I know users not just on LG but other platforms as well who have had issues . If you are prepared to try something else then have a look at Emby, I have been using it instead of Plex for about a year now and have found it stable and an excellent replacement for Plex. -
