Installing apps not available on LG content store
Karan Batra replied to Timmychanga's question in LG webOS Smart TV App Questions
No offence but you should have installed the apps on the tv before taking the subscription. Not all apps are available on LG webOS and its upto the streaming service to provide the app. -
Mine works perfectly. Using it on two tv’s now. No problem playing premium content. The only mild issue is missing subtitles with the big bang theory. Not much of a concern now. I haven’t faced video stuttering till date. Wish they add dolby 5.1 soon.

Sadly I can’t help. It might be they haven’t released it for your model yet. You can write a mail to [email protected] or [email protected] along with these details and they would tell you if they have released the app for your tv. If you don’t mind you can factory reset your tv and try , might work, hit or miss.

Yeah, I have been using it on my 2018 4K tv since its launch on March 22,2019. The app has some bugs but not a deal breaker. Bugs like sometimes it fails to start due to server time mismatch and you have to click on retry once and it starts just fine, the other is no subtitles in the big bang theory. Rest all is good, picture quality is superb , much better than the firestick that I was using earlier. Interface is basically the same. make sure you are on the latest webOS version. Below 3.5 is not compatible as of now. EDIT - This has happened the first time yesterday night ,the app has stopped playing anything at all. Server Error. Unable to generate security certificate. A lot of people have been facing problems, but i was lucky enough to get away with just an app restart but not today. Hotstar is the worst.

If your soundbar has and HDMI ARC port use that to connect to the tv, also turn on HDMI CEC / LG Simplink in settings.

Hotstar is not supported on this webOS version. Check for updates if any. Otherwise you won’t be getting it. I think same goes for the others as well. Get yourself a fire tv stick. You’ll be better off. -
Mine is 2018 65UK6360. Game of thrones plays flawlessly with subtitles on even on the simulcast. The Picture quality is a lot better than Firestick which I was using previously. hotstar is a little unoptimised as compared to other streaming platforms and hence requires more bandwidth. What speed do you have and what tv?
-
The Game Of Thrones simulcast is working now. Watched it live today.
-
I got the same mail and have asked them to refund my subscription or make it work by any means. They’ll probably reply in the morning.

Please read all the messages. The app has already been launched on March 22,2019. Its being rolled out in batches and your tv should get it soon. Make sure you are on the latest webOS version. Check for any updates. What tv model do you have and which year?
-
Yeah, its has a lot of bugs. Thankfully I was able to watch Game of thrones wothout any issues. I also noticed no subtitles on the big bang theory. Cricket matches are working fine for me. Homeland is playing fine with subtitles .
-
65UK6360PTE Should come, mught be a little later. I assume you have Netflix and prime video, then there is no reason for hostar not to work. They are rolling out in batches and since yours is an older model you might have to wait a bit.

Hotstar provides 1080p max, but there is no way to see it in the app. As i have a 4k tv so it upscales to 4K but its just upscaled. natively its 1080p but the picture quality is better than when watching with firetv stick. watched Game of thrones.
-
You cannot. It isn’t available and won’t be in future as well.
-
No settings are not concerned. You should be on the lastest WebOS version. Check for any updates. If still not, then your model might get it soon. I have a 2018 one.

Sk85 subtitles.. did everything.. nothing work
Karan Batra replied to Yaniv Davidi's question in LG webOS Smart TV Questions
I suppose you are using your pc as a media server. HDMI has nothing to with it. If you are using the tv as i said the tv is probably detecting the pc as media server over wifi or LAN. Do you have the subtitles in the other language with the same name with 1 added to the file name,as the video in the same folder. for instance if Video name is mymovie subtitles should be named as mymovie 1.srt and mymovie 2.srt You should see two subtitle tracks when you click on the sub button.Select anyone. -
Yes. It is not as snappy as the firestick app which I was previously using, but the picture quality is definitely better. Load times a tad higher. Still it does the job. I have given my feedback to the hotstar tech team and hope the future updates will make it better. They are yet to provide 5.1 sound.They are working on it too.

The hotstar app is now available for LG WebOS TV’s as of March 22,2019.
