PLEX app on both LG Tv's won't connect after last update

We have two LG TV's that stopped connecting to our PLEX media server after the last update. TImes out saying "Checking connection speed to Raspberrypi" which the PLEX is on

Upgraded the Mesh Routers before trying anything, still only the PLEX app doesn't work

Our other TCL TV and Roku and TIVO still work with Plex, so this is only the LG TV's that can't connect anymore.

Another annoying error after the last update is that any Streaming app (Amazon, Netflix, and DIsney) now fall out of the app and go back to HDMI port 1 if we pause for 30 seconds.  Which we have always done for a Bathroom break or getting drinks.

Did you ever find a solution for this?  Have a friend with a new LG tv that appears to have this same problem.  Get the "checking connection speed" message then just spinning yellow circle.

No, ended up using a Fire Stick and loaded Plex on it which works fine

Same issue, got it working by allowing insecure connections always but stopped working again soon after. All other devices work fine and even over internet.

Will probably have to just get a firestick like others have done.

      Sky News stopped working after the webOS update
      By Roy Brown
      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

      LG G3 - PC Mode Reactivates After Cold Boot on Nvidia and Intel, but not AMD GPU
      By atcronin
      I remember when I first bought the TV in Nov '23, it would switch into PC mode (setting the HDMI input to PC) automatically when first connecting my RTX 4090 PC. This behaviour was fine as the TV was indeed being used for PC Gaming.
      On my RTX 3050 HTPC I could disable PC mode by changing the input back to HDMI1. This would restore all picture settings options. This change would persist until the HDMI cable was physically disconnected/reconnected. Again, this behaviour was fine for my HTPC where I preferred having access to all the picture settings options vs 444 passthrough.
       
      Now PC mode is reactivated after every Cold Boot (Shutdown > Power On) but not from Warm Boot (Restart).
      It is a 'silent' PC mode as the input label does not change back to PC, however the same picture settings are greyed out like in PC mode. Switching the Input label from HDMI1 to another non-PC type disables PC mode again and restores the full picture settings.
       
      I was using the RTX 3050 in my HTPC for a few months after I purchased the TV and did not experience this issue. After a few months I switched to the RX 7600 and continued to not experience this issue. I recently tried going back to the Intel iGPU on the HTPC and discovered this issue. I thought it might be an intel bug, so I reinstalled the RTX 3050 and found the issue again. I've gone back to the RX 7600 as it does not suffer this issue.
       
      I have Game Optimizer options disabled (VRR, Freesync, ALLM), 444 Passthrough Disabled, QMS Disabled.
      Intel and Nvidia GPU options tried:
      Change output from RGB to YCBCR = no effect
      Disable "Text Content Processing" on intel = no effect
      Change "Content type reported" on Nvidia = no effect (Movie does activate film maker mode)
      Also noticed that on the 3050 the TV switches to PC mode during POST (picture settings disabled in BIOS), while on the Intel iGPUs PC mode activates during Windows startup (picture settings enabled in BIOS, disabled at Windows login screen).
      Testing performed on Win11 24H2, however also experienced the issue when testing LibreElec(Linux Distro for Kodi) on the intel iGPUs (didn't test Nvidia in LibreElec as unsupported).
       
      Affected GPUs: UHD Graphics 730 on Intel i5-11400 and i3-12100, Nvidia RTX 3050
      Unaffected GPUs: AMD RX 7600, Nvidia GT 1030
       
      I've noticed that on the RX 7600 and GT 1030 the SPD Info Frame are blank/Unknown.
      While on the UHD 730 - Product Description: PC, Vendor Name: Intel, Source Info: PC
      and the RTX 3050 - Product Description: GeForce RTX 3050, Vendor Name: NVIDIA, Source Info: PC

      Last input behavior changed after update
      By mean2
      Hello, after the last update of WebOS (6.5.0.-24) there is different behavior of returning back to previous input on my TV. When I was watching a Live TV and opened an app like Youtube, after closing it (holding the return button) it used to return to Live TV. The same with HDMI input, when I was playing on Playstation and the opened an app, after closing it it returned back to PS. Now after the update, it always go to the Home Screen when the app is closed. I only found in setting to return to last input when turning the TV on instead of Home Screen, but didn't find the same for the behavior after closing an app. Is there a way to fix it?
      Thanks
