, well, you waited too long to go through the simple registration process. Don't you feel silly?

As announced today on Twitter, the event's free tickets have all been claimed. Exactly how many tickets that is, HP's not saying, though we imagine it's a good many that will be in attendance on Saturday, August 4th. The all-day event will feature presentations by notable webOS developers like Hal Saville and Ryan Rix, hours of developer hack-a-thon-ing, and of course pizza, prizes, drinks, and the like.

In addition to the public schedule, HP Developer Relations manager Enda McGrath in store for attendees. If you're still interested, but for some reason didn't manage to get around to claiming a ticket for yourself, there's a waiting list available should anybody have to cancel in the next week. Just don't count on it - if the pizza is anything like what Palm brought out for the last developer event on site, nobody's going to want to miss that.

Update: Apparently there are bunch of slackers out there who thought they could just waltz right in to the Enyo party. Not so, but because there are enough of you pounding on the virtual doors, , though we can't imagine they've added a whole bunch of new slots - if you want to go, register now or forever hold your Pre's.

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

      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 TV won't work after update
      By JRay
      Our TV just did an update and now certain buttons on the remote aren't working, and the TV won't stay on if it even comes on at all you get a dark blue screen and that is it.. such a great update. Now what do we do? The remote batteries have been changed and it still isn't working correctly. We unplugged the TV and then replaced it in.. ugh..

      LG Announces Winners of 2024 webOS Hackathon
      By News Reporter
      Winners Showcase Family-Friendly Gaming Innovations and
      Address the Growing Interest in AI Technologies at LG webOS Summit
        
      SEOUL, Oct. 1, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) announced the winners of its webOS TV platform hackathon, which took place at the LG webOS Summit last week. The event was geared toward AI-based solutions and gaming services, and sought ideas to enhance the gaming category on the Smart TV.
      Developers from around the world applied for the opportunity to present their ideas for apps or services to be used on webOS-based LG Smart TVs in millions of homes, with the goal of diversifying and improving the gaming experience on the LG TVs powered by webOS.
      Over three hundred entries were submitted from more than 50 countries. Finalists were invited to present their ideas onstage to a panel of LG executives and over 300 market-leading companies. The top three winners received a meaningful opportunity to engage with the LG team to develop their ideas and resources for business implementation on webOS. They will continue to work with the LG team to prepare the family-friendly gaming solutions for LG TVs by June 2025. Cash prizes were awarded to the top three winners of the hackathon, with the Grand Prize of USD 100,000 for first place, USD 80,000 for second place and USD 50,000 for third place.
      Grand Prize Winner: The Quest of Sunflower by Couchplay
      An epic adventure game based on an AI-generated story, featuring stunning graphics, immersive audio and responsive game play suitable for the whole family.
      Second place: Signs of Magic by Lukas Klingsbo
      Set in a magical world, this game follows the wizard Elowen as she battles invading creatures known as Astromentals. It integrates LG Magic Remote sensors to create an immersive experience that brings the action to life.
      Third place: Thormdeil: Into the Unknown by TV Games
      The first single-player RPG developed exclusively for a Smart TV platform, featuring seasonally AI-generated content. Players navigate dark dungeons, face survival challenges and uncover hidden truths.
      “The amount of participation and entries we received this year is proof of the growing interest in the AI and gaming categories,” said Chris Jo, senior vice president of platform business at LG Home Entertainment Company. “We’re no longer simply watching television. The developer ecosystem’s role in improving the lives of millions of consumers in their homes is exponential, and LG plans to hold this event annually to foster webOS app developer ecosystem.”
