  1. You can assign a number key. Open the app then do a long press on one of the numbers (1 - 9) it will ask you if you want to assign a shortcut to the app
  2. if it's not in the LG content store, it cant be done
  3. Anybody tried the long press on the Home key to close apps running in the background ? This may free some memory
  4. What do you mean the PC can't read it? Does Windows assign it a drive letter? If it does, you could try running chkdsk /f
  5. Are you sure you used the right password? Does Ethernet connection work ?
  6. Assuming the TV has a client for Kodi or Plex it its content store, you can try either. You have to install the corresponding server component on the PC and set it up. I stream videos from my PC to the TV all the time, but I did not bother with those two, instead I used the build in media server associated with Windows Media Player, Good luck with your choice
  7. There is a selection "Apply to all inputs". It's right at the bottom of the detailed settings (where you see contrast, brightness, etc) .
  8. The Youtube pay option is Youtube TV, Youtube's streaming live TV and sport offering https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/ The other choice is a client for the typical free videos at https://www.youtube.com/
  9. TV: 2017 model 49UJ6500 When you reset the A/V (mute button 3 times), you see the default for non-HDR is "Auto" and default for HDR is "off". When you switch back and forth between HDR and non-HDR this energy saving setting is switched automatically. I quite like "Auto" for regular material (non-HDR) it does a good job. On the other hand, the setting of "Off" for HDR is terrible, especially with Amazon Prime. The bright highlights are too bright and the dark shadow area's are a murky grey. Cannot really compensate with backlight, contrast or brighness adjustments, it's ineffective for this problem. However, to compensate for this TV's mediocre contrast range (very obvious in HDR), you can set HDR Energy Saving to minimum or medium and you can make it watchable The problem is, as soon as you do this, when you revert back to non-HDR material, it no longer automatically switches back to Energy Saver "Auto", but it stays on the setting you used when HDR was active. I don't know if this is a design limitation or some oversight in the firmware, but this is a big inconvenience. I've got no idea if newer LG TV's also do this, but I would certianly check this prior to purchasing a newer LG TV. If my conclusions about this "problem" are wrong, please enlighten me. Thanks.
