Chris Bard Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I have found a site called Locast that will stream live tv for some home markets in the US. It’s a free service but they do ask for donations. However, I am unable to get it to run on my LG tv’s browser. The site returns an error saying that I refused a request for geolocation. Due to licensing agreements, the site needs this enabled and running on the browser to validate viewers aren’t streaming into non-US markets. Is this possible or am I out of luck? Quote

Hi Chris, Geolocation is, from what I can find on the web, supported by webOS right back from the days of Hewlett Packard: link hidden, please login to view The problem is that sites now have to request your location by way of a pop up prompt, but this is something that the webOS browser does not currently support. The above is a case in point, it works in Firefox, Opera etc as I can click on the pop up but not so on webOS. However the test for geolocation at HTML5Test shows it as being 'broken' although this is for a 2016 model, but in comparison Samsung's Tizen browser from 2015 appears to work: Quote
