Is it just me or is the plex app just unusable on webos.  When I try to select dvr items with the magic remote they just don’t play.  I am not sure if this is a plex issue or an lg webos issue.  Anyone know which it is?

Hi @Lgrump

I suppose it is going to be a Plex issue as they produce the app, I know users not just on LG but other platforms as well who have had issues .  If you are prepared to try something else then have a look at Emby,  I have been using it instead of Plex for about a year now and have found it stable and an excellent replacement for Plex.

What issues are you having. Plex server runs on in my Mac and works flawlessly with my webos tv... No issues whatsoever.... Even streaming large uhd / 8k media is perfect.

I would encourage you to read the Plex data base and fine tune your server.. It should work great!

Otherwise try to get lg to replace the remote.

The problem is in the plex client that is specific to lg on web os.  I think I already posted the exact version number on the plex forums.  Works fine on roku but the plex client version specific to lg prevents you from using the plex pass dvr function. Everything else works fine.   I smell a rat.

Are you recording to an external hard drive attached via usb to your tv? Mine works fine as long as the drive is fat32 forrmated

The exact problem is that on the dvr screen the mouse select on the remote will not launch a recorded item. Plex for lg client version 5.57.2 platform version7.3.0

I am running the plex media server on ubuntu 22.04 and have an external drive formatted as ntfs where the media is stored.  I have a hd homerun quatro where I record digital hd unencrypted signals coming from local  stations via a hd antenna.  Its not a plex server issue.  Its a plex lg client issue.

Will the title of the remark is misleading "Plex is unusable". Plex send very usable with one function disabled or not working.

If it is a Plex issue, ask Plex to resolve it. If you are a Plex Pass user they will reply to you quickly.

It may be a localised DRM issue but mine works fine

      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?

      WebOS TV "satellite LNB short" error
      By leader6234
      Hey guys !!!
      I have a UHD UJ634v  LG webos Tv  that lately an error message pops on the screen staying : Tv signal has been lost due to the satellite LNB short.Check LNB connection"
      This is really getting on my nerves because I can't get any signal even after resetting the TV or even updating to the last  software version.
      I check my cable line and fixed every possible problem. The error message keeps showing up even after disconnecting cable line from the back of TV just as if a short circuit or something has happened inside the Tv.
      Do you think that'd be software or hardware failure or something else??? How to fix it?
      Please help me out with this cuz all my lovely satellite TV channels are gone 😐
      Here is the actual error message on the right top o the screen 
      Thanks in advance !!!
