I’d love to see a new feature in the next software update where the sound mode automatically adjusts based on the app being used. For example, when opening music apps like Apple Music or Spotify, the sound mode could switch to Music Mode, and for streaming apps like Netflix or Prime Video, it could switch to Cinema Mode.This addition would make the user experience so much smoother and more convenient!

Hello I have a 2020 LG oled 65 inch tv and I am connected to internet via wifi. I checked connections and they are all good and working. I have standard apps that came with TV installed Netflix, Disney plus ect. And now TV is saying they both need to be updated to have access to those apps. Everytime I go to update and click on update it says the app is not installed so it won't update when I look to make sure app is installed it shows they are.
I am confused on what's going on and how to update these apps and get access to them again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thx

I bought LG smart tv. for some reason region selected was Africa and could only choose from african countries and had very little available apps in content store. I live in Georgia, so figured that changing region to EU would help so changed it to 3122 and selected service country UK because Georgia was not in the list. after that every app says that it is not available in current country. I have default region code saved so I guess could go back but wondering if any one can help me to get it working in EU. or if anyone have region code in which Georgia is available it will be helpful as well.

The international content on JioCinema and Hotstar apps are not playing. No issues with Indian content in Hindi or other regional languages. But English, Korean, and Japanese content are not playing. Specifically, I want to play Disney content on Hotstar and HBO content on JioCinema App.
I tried resetting all configurations and reinstalling the applications and re-logging into the apps. Still, the issue persists. I tried switching off the TV and tried pressing the power button for complete discharge and rebooting my router, but the same issue persists.
**I found a workaround though, changing the wifi network or using a mobile hotspot on TV and then all content plays well even if I revert to my primary Airtel wifi, It still plays. but the next day the same issue continues.
It's an overhead to switch the wifi every time I want to watch Hollywood titles. Certainly, it's not the experience I want with a TV of a hefty price tag. No other devices (Mac, ios, android, windows, Android TV) have this problem. Also, it's not the wifi issue, as I can watch the same titles on other devices. The LG TV also doesn't have the capability to remember a few WiFi networks to ease this workaround of switching networks.
Alas, Nobody informed me about this issue earlier while making the purchase. Now such pricey TVs shouldn't have these issues at all. Kindly let me know If there is a permanent fix for this issue.

Thank you for your response and your attempts to help me. I'm glad to read you're not LG, I wouldn't wish that on anyone, certainly not working in the "stupid TV" division. I have worked my entire working life in the software sector, including senior management and therefore including the commercial and legal sides of the sector.
The ITVx app is not in the LG Content Store which I have access to. Are there multiple Content Stores or is access to the Content Store not standard for all users? How can that be? Does LG just let any software into its Content Store? Untried, untested, no acceptance testing? Where has LG learned such business practices? How has it survived so long? The Content Store carries the LG name, so therefore LG carries responsibility for it. LG should act responsibly. I got ITVx by calling up the ITVHUB, which asked me if I wanted to update. After a positive reply, ITVx was downloaded. What on earth is that? I have looked in ITVx but not watched any programmes yet.
No, "smart" means that there is a processor and storage, which can have an Internet connection. LG provides its so-called "operating system", which in my opinion has bugs in it - does LG pay the software houses to convert their software app to webOS? If not, how does that work? Do other smart TV manufacturers do that? How can a business run when suppliers determine what the product can do? As I get farther into this, the more I regret paying out so much money for such junk and dubious manufacturing procedures. Luckily the picture, sound and size of screen are good.
I wasn't aware that no smart TV has every app. What a way to run an industry!
There are many aspects to VPNs, not just getting round georestrictions on TV and streaming services. If you think VPNs are “a legal grey area” (which they’re not, imo), what do you think of IPTV, KODI? LG does not offer even one VPN but I cannot count how many IPTV viewers it offers in its Content Store. Are you saying that LG with its lack of VPNs is trying to influence what I watch on its TV? Or what I store in its fridge or freezer? I don’t live in Russia, Iran or North Korea – as long as I pay for my TV I can watch on it what I want, especially when it’s not illegal to watch it. Where does it say that in LG’s advertising and product description? Perhaps broadcasters and streaming services should pay the participants in their products proper fees which reflect 21st century broadcasting norms. I note that you use a VPN – is your solution not “a legal grey area”? Legal grey areas need to be updated for the 21st century.
I’m trying to make the best of my TV too. I don’t care about ITVx, it is the principles I care about. LG duped me into buying one of their products, which does not do what its advertising states either implicitly or explicitly. I think I’ll complain about it to one of the EU’s watchdogs.
