Similar to YouTube player on Android, it depends on the developer to expand that capability on YouTube player on WebOS. Question is who is holding the source code ? 3rd party, LG ? Sent from my Xperia Z1 using Tapatalk

I am not sure is this consider good news or bad news. My model is listed under 14'WebOS TV, but at the same time 15'WebOS TV includes my model. For example UB85xx in 15' and UB850T in 14'. Theoretically, xx includes 0T isn't it.... Finger cross. This app updates is preparing for WebOS 2.x. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.app1 From Sony Xperia Z1 using Tapatalk

MediaTek is making sure that the latest chip offers support for Android, WebOS (used by LG), while providing room for Panasonic to tweak it for their upcoming TVs based on Amazon's FireTV OS, according to CK Peng, marketing director for MediaTek's home entertainment business unit. http://www.eetasia.com/ART_8800708734_480200_NT_6a8497f5_2.HTM hopefully it is not one time off experiment but commitment from LG and provides the 2.0 update to the existing TV running WebOS 1.x.

Singapore, slow in OTA upgrade support, pre-loaded with 04.33.23 when purchased. http://www.lg.com/sg/support-product/lg-49UB850T support available 04.33.15.

Sjaak van Boven, I hope you are right. My UB850T is just few weeks old. No reason it can't run webOS 2.0 since it is already running webOS 1.x. furthermore base on press release it doesn't seem major upgrade that require new hardware. LG’s webOS 2.0 takes simplicity and convenience to a new level even while managing an expanding array of content options, so consumers can chose easily from a long list of new features. For example, the initial boot time when the TV is turned on has been reduced by up to 60 percent. Users will also enjoy a 70 percent improvement in loading when switching from the Smart TV Home Screen to YouTube, making accessing content significantly smoother and faster. Also new in 2015 with webOS 2.0 is “My Channels,” an app that allows users to customize their favorite live TV or set-top box channels on the Launcher Bar for greater convenience. Quick Settings lets viewers adjust their TV without interrupting the program they’re watching and Input Picker allows connected devices to be recognized instantly for immediate use. http://www.lg.com/us/press-release/lg-to-unveil-more-intuitive-webos-2.0-smart-tv-platform-at-ces-2015

I want WebOS 2.0 update available to my existing ULTRA HD TV running WebOS 1.x (e.g. UB850T). http://www.lg.com/us/press-release/lg-to-unveil-more-intuitive-webos-2.0-smart-tv-platform-at-ces-2015 I can't accept this news. However, LG has confirmed to ZDNet that owners of the 2014 webOS TV models will not be able to upgrade to webOS 2.0. http://www.zdnet.com/article/lg-snubs-2014-tv-owners-on-webos-upgrade/
