See: That question is nearly identical to yours. It got no responses except I said I have never heard of any device supporting what you are asking for.

You call it a USB file but I have not heard of that as a file format. The data you show appears to be XML data. If you are willing and able to try it there are many XML editors. The following is one out of very many possibilities. Best XML Formatter and XML Beautifier https://jsonformatter.org/xml-formatter However a generalized XML editor such as that will not know what names are valid and what data is compatible with other data, it might be too technical for you.

Is there another maker of televisions that has forums and the maker's representatives are active in the forums?

I have never heard of any device supporting any kind of output simultaneously with headphones. I am far from an expert though.

That type of thing has typically (as in probably never) been supported by electronic devices such as televisions and amplifiers. I am not an electronics expert. Here is something you can ask someone else for help with. There are Bluetooth transmitters available for purchase. You could split the audio signal from the TV with one line for the transmitter and the other for the amplifier.

I do not know what a handphone is. What does your TV use for the remote control? As far as I know most remote controls use InfraRed (IR). Many also use Radio Frequency (RF). I believe it is highly unusual for a remote control to use WiFi or Bluetooth. Smartphones can use WiFi and many TVs are able to respond to signals over WiFi. I am not an expert but I think it is unusual for devices to use Bluetooth for remote controls. If your TV supports it then you probably must pair the phone to the TV using a setting in the Bluetooth section of the settings that is provided for paring as a remote control that is different from pairing as a headphone. When you say LAN connection only I assume you mean Ethernet. The TV has a cable plugged in that comes from the router, correct? Are you sure the TV says it is connected using Ethernet? Sometimes a router needs to be restarted to get a new connection. In Amazon I see some IR adapters for smartphones. I do not know how they work but that might make it possible to use the phone.

I have a guess and this is only a guess. Perhaps the drive is not formatted.

I think you do not understand computers. I do not know what type of processors are in LG smart TVs but they are obviously general-purpose as are in phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. Their capabilities might be limited by the operating system. The main difference between a smart TV and a laptop is that smart TVs generally use a more restrictive user interface; they typically do not have a mouse and keyboard like a laptop does. When someone pays for a device with a general-purpose computer in it, it is reasonable for them to want to get as much use of the device as possible.

I no longer have a LG TV therefore I am not sure how much of the following is relevant. Can the TV optionally be controlled over the network, either using WiFi or Ethernet? Does it do anything else unexpectedly? Some devices (such as some Tivos) use a combination of light and radio signals (they respond to either but only one is necessary). I once had a TV that was close to a large outside window. Occasionally it would turn off spontaneously. I assumed it was sunlight reflecting off a car. Since this is at night it is not sunlight but it could be infrared from somewhere. Or it could be radio signals if the TV remote responds to radio signals (RF).

The following are some definitions of PC. Personal Computer | Definition of Personal Computer by Merriam-Webster personal computer - Wiktionary personal computer The definition of personal computer is not as clear as you might think. Many of the systems that people call PC are capable of (and used to) support many users, such as when used as an internet and/or database server. Smartphones, smart TVs and DVRs however would qualify as having a computer for just one person. And the definitions are out-of-date because the processors in most such devices would qualify as supercomputers a couple of decades ago. To be more relevant to the current topic, Android phones support Microsoft Teams. Smart TV hardware can support cameras. Unless you know of a specific limitation of WebOS that prevents support of Microsoft Teams, it is just a matter of someone developing the application for WebOS. And now that Microsoft Teams is built into Windows 11 more people are going to want to use it.

And I think the following will show the LG Content Store page for it. https://ca.lgappstv.com/main/tvapp/detail?appId=308244 If that link does not work then just search for google play store.

Google Play Store is the software to purchase content but the content is not limited to Android. For example books purchased in the Play Store can be read using most operating systems. The videos can be played by most browsers. So if the question is how to play content purchased from the Play Store then that is a good question and the answer might be that it is possible. I do not know the answer but I will be researching it for myself.

Google Play Store is the software to purchase content but the content is not limited to Android. For example books purchased in the Play Store can be read using most operating systems. The videos can be played by most browsers. So the answer is not as simple as saying it is impossible. If it were me then I would first ask for clarification of what the requirements are. Since the content is not limited to Android there might be a way to play the videos in WebOS. I do not know the answer to that but I will be researching that for myself.

What is software version 04.25.70? We have an 55EF9500 TV. Today we got an update for it, from 04.25.40 (I think) to 04.25.70. Apparently that does not correspond to a WebOS version but I assume it includes a newer version of WebOS. The important thing is, where do I look to see what the new features are? CES 2018: LG to release WebOS 4.0 upgrade with new features. - webOS Nation Forums describes a new version that has primarily connectivity improvements. Is that what was installed today (in 04.25.70)?

This question is about Screen Share but a couple of people say "Smart Share". Is there something called Screen Share? The reason I ask is that the name "Screen Share" implies that (only) the screen is shared and "Smart Share" implies that other things are shared, possibly including the screen. I know that people often use terminology that is highly misleading and that does not communicate what the name refers to. Since that is true, it is critical that people use the correct name.
