Hotstar App For India

[Bhavesh]

Hi,

HotStar is very popular application in india which allows you to watch tv shows/movies and lot more.

I don't see its app available on LG Store.

Any plan to launch Hotstar app for WebOS Store??

Thanks,

Bhavesh

Mine works perfectly. Using it on two tv’s now. No problem playing premium content.  The only mild issue is missing subtitles with the big bang theory. Not much of a concern now.

I haven’t faced video stuttering till date. 

Wish they add dolby 5.1 soon.

I have an LG 43UF690T which is running WebOS 04.05.85. Can someone at LG let me know when I can expect hotstar to be available in the content store?

I don’t think LG would be answering that. According to the WebOS version it should have been available by now but I guess its a combination of model nos & WebOS version. A lot of older models inspite of having the required WebOS version haven’t received it.

Contact hotstar at [email protected] or [email protected] .

@Adit The webos version specified by you is firmware version rather than webos version. According to hotstar, only tvs with webos 3.5 and above will receive the update. The tv model specified by you has webos version 2.0 when checked in specifications. So contact hotstar whether they are making the app compatible with version 3.5 below tvs

How do I check the webos version on the TV? I'm only able to see the firmware version in the 'About'option.

No settings are not concerned. You should be on the lastest WebOS version. Check for any updates.

If still not, then your model might get it soon. I have a 2018 one.

Please read all the messages. The app has already been launched on March 22,2019. Its being rolled out in batches and your tv should get it soon.

Make sure you are on the latest webOS version. Check for any updates.

What tv model do you have and which year?

I have 49UH850T model 2016 year. Will this support hotstar?

Go ot settings and then TV Information.  See the WebOS version. You should have WebOS 3.5 or above to get the app. 

If you haven’t got the app by now its very unlikely that you’ll get it. 

Since you have a 2016 model tv its better to invest in a fire tv stick or airtel xstream box. They will go a long way in supporting apps.

I have recently bought B9 and I see the hotstar app as well but when I open the hotstar unable to play any video, there are no navigation options as well. Anyone facing similar issue?

Nope. The nav menu comes from the side. 
Delete the app & reinstall from LG Content Store.
