Hello,
 
I've read on the XPLAY forum about various problems with the latest version, so I decided to postpone the update until the issues are solved.
I really don't know where the problem is but the developer said:
"They have approved a quiet old version what has no online update functionality and the only way to fix anything or add new functionality is to send it to LG QA team … but they arrrrr soooooo much slow. Ive send them (on several days ago) version latest dev version with online update functionality. It will allow me to react to bugs much faster …"
 
My setup is:
TV: LG 55EG920V, WebOS 2.0, Software version 04.25.70
XPLAY: 20180322.1.2.8 (ONLINE)
PLEX: 1.13.8.5395
 
The version available for update in LG content store is 2.189.171 (08.10.2018). Many users complained they couldn't login anymore after upgrading to this version.
 
Could you please tell me what is the correct version should I update and when it'll be available for my TV?
Also, is there any way to skip this update?  I just want to avoid an accidental update which would broke the functionality...
 
Kind regards,

Yes it is, with XPLAY you can direct stream/play (without transcoding) 4k content, while PLEX official app cannot do that.  My PLEX server runs on a raspberry pi3, so transcoding is out of the question...

Kind regards,

Hi

Since the developer (xplay.itkey.ru) didn't solve the issue yet, I have decided to block the whole LG Content Store at DNS level (pi-holed). Now when I try to open the Content Store it says it has no network connectivity, which is the desired behaviour for now. But even so, when I open the app I still have two options, update and launch.

The question is what would happen if I choose update, the new version is already downloaded on the TV and just starts installing, or the TV  first try to download the update from the Content Store?

 

Best regards,

I guess you are among the lucky ones, in my content store for webos2.0 I currently have 2.189.171 available for download.  This version was reported as broken by many users. 

What version of webos do you have?

      Latest software update broke HDMI on my LG OLED G2?
      By OliverRC
      Up until a few days ago my TV and AVR have been working perfectly since I bought it.
      Zero hassles with HDMI and connectivity.
      Then I was prompted to update to the latest software version which I did and now often when I switch HDMI (running on 1) it picks up the device name, CEC works but I get “No Signal”… and then nothing.
      Just stays on “No Signal”. It is almost as if some HDMI handshake breaks and now the driver is in a broken state.
      I’ve found that if I hard power off and power on the device sometimes works but I don’t want to do that every time especially since it’s hard to get to the power.
      This really strikes me as a software issue with the latest update as absolutely nothing else has changed in my setup.
      I’ve tried:
      Different HDMI cables (high quality) Deep colour settings Reset the TV to factory default Different HDMI ports TV
      Model: OLED65G26LA / OLED65G26LA.HFBQLWK WebOS TV Version: 8.3.0.2301 Software Version: 13.30.56 AVR & Devices
      Marantz SR5015 Nvidia Shield Pro PS5
        The setup is the conventional AVR installation as shown in the attached file

       
      Has anyone else experienced this? 
      Is it possible to revert the software update?

      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?

      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
