LG G1 streaming problem with latest software


Question

Posted

We've had a 65" OLED G1 for a while (Australian model OLED65G1PUA.AUS). No problems with it until the latest software update that installed on it a couple of weeks ago (the set shows the current installed level as 03.21.05). Since the update, when streaming using one of the apps built into the TV, maybe once every couple of days the picture will freeze in the middle of playback, and two or three seconds later the TV kicks us back to the initial screen for the app that we are streaming from. We've had it happen with Binge, with Apple TV+, and with Amazon Prime. If we access the same streaming services using the Android version of the apps on a Chromecast with Google TV that I have plugged into one of the HDMI ports on the G1, we never see the same problem.

As the problem doesn't happen with the Chromecast, it doesn't seem to be a network problem (both the Chromecast and G1 are using a wired Ethernet connection rather than WiFi); as it happens with multiple apps on the G1, it doesn't appear to be a problem with a specific app; and as it has only started happening since the software update to the TV, that points the finger at that update as being the cause of the problem.

Any suggestions? There doesn't appear to be any officially supported way of downgrading the software on an LG set to the previous version to see if that gets rid of the problem.

      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?

      Since latest update certain functions no longer work properly, for example Program Guide does not populate properly.
      How do I uninstall latest update an return to previous version which worked perfectly.

      After recent software update of LG OS software update 03.51.15, there is constant problem with Date.  Date is not setting properly and getting defaulted, due to which browser and most of the apps are not working.. Have tried to reset to original settings and remove automatic date setting option then tried setting manually.. but every day its resetting to old date.

      I've just purchased an OLED48 C44 LA which comes with a US 60T soundbar. I've connected the soundbar to the HDMI earc socket. Because my hearing isn't too good I'd like to also have some heaphones plugged into the 3.5mm socket so that both the hdmi earc and 3.5mm socket have sound simultaneously. I've been into accessablity menu and the listen together option doesn't appear to offer both hdmiearc and 3.5 mm simultaneously. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
      just to be clear, There is a setting which permits TV speakers plus wired external headphones. I just haven't found a setting which allows HDMI earc soundbar plus wired headphones.
