@Arthur Dent As @George Hofmeister  has already pointed out, downloading of file types not compatible with the TV operating system will be blocked, as any attempted use of such files would NOT work, and produce confusing error messages for the user. Any operating system for ANY device (TV, router, Set-top-box etc.) would HAVE to protect itself from abuse, otherwise it could be rendered inoperative.

I think you might be trying to compare WebOS, and a smart TV with PC-like attributes, but it is like chalk and cheese comparisons. In any event, Apple devices are VERY restrictive of what can/cannot be installed, as THAT OS is a closed system.

      DLNA file refresh with Synology Diskstation
      By Lorenz
      Our LG TV does not show files properly when a new file is added in a directory.
      We have a Synology diskstation ethernet drive with DLNA and if we download a new file (in the dedicated download folder) or we copy a file from a PC to a folder, the file is not seen in the LG TV.
      Sometimes it's there in few minutes, sometimes it's not visible for days! turn on&off is not working.
      If we want to watch a video we need to load it on a USB stick, which is definitely not nice in 2019.
      Looking at synology forums the DLNA file list should be automatically updated when a new file is added, is there any way to force refresh from LG app?
       
      Thanks

      Disney+ does not play Dolby Atmos
      By Gregor Huc
      Hi,
      I have a Disney+ premium subscription. But if I play a Dolby Atmos Film on Disney+ on my LG OLED G4 (e.g. guardians of the galaxy vol. 3) the Dolby Atmos signal doesn't reach my soundbar (LG ds95qr) which is connected via HDMI cable over eArc. On the TV only Dolby vision Logo is showing. Any suggestions?

      My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV. We need (gCmob app) in list of app.
      By Ramesh Chand Vishwakarma
      It is unprofessional on part of LG TV that they do not resolve the basic issue of adding app gCmob in their app store.
      My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV.  We need (gCmob app) in list of app.
      I can't connect my office camera via Wi-Fi to LG-TV. No body in LG TV technical team is proactive in resolving the issue of customer. They are more happy to befool the customers, rather than looking for technical solution through wider thinking.
      Please talk to you top management and make a visit to our office to understand the customers plight..
      Please respond to customers needs.

      [Feature Request] File Manager and...
      By MinoDc
      Hi to all.
      I recently purchased a lg tv with web os. On the old TV was using an external media player (wd live tv). Now I wanted to directly connect the USB disk to the TV.
      Unfortunately, I can not do it, because, to my regret, the web os does not have a file manager So I can not copy, move, or do anything on the external drive, no do not connect it to the PC first.
      I ask is you are putting a file manager, so you can manage files between USB devices connected.
      In addition to, if possible, add an icon to each file (movie) already seen.
      What do you think

      PC/Mac application to manage USB file with programmes info
      By Jonatan de la Torre Gómez
      Hi,
      maybe this is an off topic but I guess it would be very useful to have a software capable to manage GlobalClone00001.TLL file with is created when you save your programmes to an USB stick inside the tune menu.
      It could make all the operations needed such as add (manually)/delete, add to favorites, sort by channel/frequency/name/etc..., multiple select and move (with a mouse click), rename (customize names), delete or move (show and hide) radio channels.
      All these operations would be much easier with a graphic computer software.

      This is  a block of GlobalClone00001.TLL file with all the info that could be customized:
      <ITEM> <prNum>2</prNum> <minorNum>0</minorNum> <original_network_id>8916</original_network_id> <transport_id>40000</transport_id> <network_id>12549</network_id> <service_id>40003</service_id> <physicalNum>21</physicalNum> <sourceIndex>1</sourceIndex> <serviceType>31</serviceType> <special_data>2198019169</special_data> <frequency>474000</frequency> <nitVersion>2</nitVersion> <mapType>1</mapType> <mapAttr>0</mapAttr> <isInvisable>0</isInvisable> <isBlocked>0</isBlocked> <isSkipped>0</isSkipped> <isNumUnSel>0</isNumUnSel> <isDeleted>0</isDeleted> <chNameByte>0</chNameByte> <isDisabled>0</isDisabled> <hexVchName>4c61203120554844</hexVchName> <notConvertedLengthOfVchName>8</notConvertedLengthOfVchName> <vchName>La 1 UHD</vchName> <lengthOfVchName>8</lengthOfVchName> <hSettingIDHandle>0</hSettingIDHandle> <usSatelliteHandle>0</usSatelliteHandle> <isUserSelCHNo>0</isUserSelCHNo> <logoIndex>36</logoIndex> <videoStreamType>0</videoStreamType> </ITEM>
