When are you guys going to update the browser to 2023 standards for all content....because there are certain streaming sites I use that LG does NOT have an app for.

My tv is a 55" 4K LG webOS UK6200

Current software version is 05.50.10.

Hi @Nixon Sylvester

We guys are not going to update anything on LG as this is a user-to-user forum.

Which streaming sites, what standards are they using and which 2023 standards are you referring to?

LG do not make apps for the platform as they do not have access to the information that would be needed to create an app for a client's infrastructure.  Companies such as Disney et al are not going to give a third party access to their proprietary information and servers.

If you would like an app produced you need to badger the content providers to do it.

Thanx. I understand. I understand with respect to the apps but the browser isn't compatible for HBO Max. It's says the browser is outdated.

Hi @Nixon Sylvester

Generally this means that the website may not been written well enough to recognise the webOS browser identification string and/or the version of WebKit and other technologies used is not supported by the site.  This really does not mean that the site would not work at all, rather that the site provider does not want to spend the time, effort and money to provide the compatibility.  To date I have not test my 2022 TV to see what the HMTL5 comparability scores are.  I will report back when I have had a chance to do so.  It may have been better for LG to have recompiled an existing browser to run on webOS, as building a web browser from scratch is a complicated thing.

Chrome on Windows: 528/555

WebOS native browser: 471/555

OLED48CX3LB with webOS 5.4.3-36 fw 04.41.45

No DRM, H265, TS.  I see the TV set has got Widevine LGTV20CLGE102122196 (of course), why no DRM in browser?

      Browser crashes on BBC news site/website
      By DeeDeee
      My WebOS browser always crashes if I go onto the BBC news website. It is the only site I have this problem with. I've tried the usual solutions, clearing the history/cache/cookies and I don't think it is memory as I have no other problems. Ever so grateful for any suggestions. TIA.

      LG web browser
      By Alex Benet
      Hi everyone, I have a recent problem with my lg smart tv web browser. TV's model is 50UH635V and I've noticed that the browser can't open certain websites showing the message "the browser is no longer supported". Is there any solution to this? Can I install a 3rd party browser to my TV, like mozilla, chrome, something like that?

      LG 49UB850V LED TV Easy Way to Update or Install Network Browser
      By forum1
      My LG 49UB850V LED TV  browser is too old. The most of the pages not work any more. How to easy update just one simple browser app? For example, often browser show error during open new page. It show certificate expire problem and page not load at all.
      This mean LG sell product without update at least browser certificate and now we are stuck and can not even load one page from WWW. 
       
      Shame on you LG. I will not buy any more from you.  How dificolt is to release new update to update OS certificates? Microsoft Windows did this, android did also for old phones, etc... Really, can not undestend this asian people from Korea.
