Hi All,

 

I have just purchased my first smart tv LG B6 OLED so I am new and not too familiar with the WebOS functionality.

 

First impressions, love it, but hey thats expected for an OLED screen.

 

I did however struggle to find some basic apps such as Live Radios that would in fact host my local radio stations in New Zealand. I even attempted to stream these using the web browser but it looks as if streaming is not compatible.

 

I skimmed through some earlier posts complaining about lack of Flash player (presumably to combat pirating which makes sense), so i was wondering if there is any update on this? I'd imagine the lack of a Flash Player is the reason to why I cannot stream live music, or is it something to do with lacking CODECs (highly doubt it being such a new model)?

 

Cheers.

      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 web browser
      By Alex Benet
      Hi everyone, I have a recent problem with my lg smart tv web browser. TV's model is 50UH635V and I've noticed that the browser can't open certain websites showing the message "the browser is no longer supported". Is there any solution to this? Can I install a 3rd party browser to my TV, like mozilla, chrome, something like that?
