I have three LG Smart TVs in my home. I have a Windows 11 PC with videos on the hard drive. It seems like I should be able to connect to the PC videos from any one of the TVs. When I "show all inputs" on the TV, the PC shows up. When I select it, I get the message "Device not connected". All devices are connected to the home wifi network. I also have LG's SmartShare running on the PC and the video folder has been selected for sharing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Thanks, Noel. Didn't know about Plex but I'll give it a try.

Still confused by LG's display, though. They can "see" my PC (in the Inputs list) but tell me it's not connected when I select it.

      Connecting an external device to my LG 55UQ7570PUJ TV
      By bos2prov
      I want to attach a device called a "StreamLine TV" to my LG TV that would broadcast the TV audio directly to my hearing aids. It apparently requires any one of the following three connectors to be on the TV:
      TOSLINK cable (optical / digital) Cinch cable (RCA / analog) Jack adapter Looking at the back of my TV it doesn't have an old-fashioned RCA jack which seems to be what they mean by a "Cinch cable (RCA / analog"). 

      I'm not sure if it has a TOSLINK cable. Searching for 'TOSLINK' in the PDF user guide returns nothing. But on the back of the TV there is a jack called OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT. Could that be a TOSLINK connector, maybe just not named as such in the user guide?

      Why is my LG TV SmartShare (Media Player) program randomly changes to Sharing OFF on Windows 10?
      By wallyricks
      I have owned a couple of LG TV’s over the last 8 years, with the current one being a high-end 77” model.
      I am still using LG TV SmartShare (v.33) as my “Media Player” v2.3.1511.1201 for my PC– which was last updated in 2015 but it is still compatible today.  As proof, my latest TV is now 11 months old and I have had zero issue (until you see below).    
      link hidden, please login to view My PC setup is: Windows 10 Pro (with all latest updates) and a TP-Link Archer BE19000 (BE805) router.    NOTHING has been changed on my router, TV (no updated or changed firmware) or any equipment moved around in the last 4 months.
      Up until about 3 weeks ago, everything ran just fine.  The SmartShare program was always defaulted to have Sharing ON, upon start of it, which is always when Windows boots).  However, about 3 weeks ago, the SmartShare PC program has started to randomly change its status to Sharing OFF.  I would then have to go into the program, manually change it to ON and then it works anywhere for 30 minutes up to 20 hours, and again, randomly change the Sharing to OFF.
      I am an experienced PC user, and I am very sure that this has nothing to do with my WIFI because it’s not a dropped connection or random TV not being found.   Something is happening inside Windows 10 that is triggering this status change.  And it never fluctuates back to Sharing ON by itself.
      Being so frustrated, I actually updated the Router to the latest firmware a few days ago, but this problem continues as before.
      As an experiment, I installed an alternate Media Server program called Serviio.  One can also see that when my Sharing changes to OFF, the two green lights turn red.
      Anyone have an idea of what can be happening after nearly 8 years of not experiencing this?       I am guessing that Windows is triggering some “Service” to stop running, but what can it be?

      Bringing Content Creation In-House with Cutting-Edge Virtual Studio
      By News Reporter
      In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, technology continues to redefine how businesses engage with their audiences. To stay ahead, companies are embracing innovative content creation methods that deliver immersive, high-quality experiences, capturing attention and driving deeper engagement.

      LG has taken a major leap forward in content production with the launch of its state-of-the-art virtual production studio at its North American headquarters in New Jersey, USA. A potential first in the consumer electronics industry, this in-house content lab empowers LG with advanced tools to produce premium-quality content that reflects its diverse product portfolio, emphasizing efficiency and sustainability.

      At the core of the LG Virtual Production Studio is the company’s award-winning commercial LED display technology, featuring a 1.5mm pixel pitch display spanning two walls. This setup enables immersive, cost-effective and flexible content creation, complemented by cutting-edge technologies from LG’s partners, including the Megapixel HELIOS Controller and Mo-Sys Camera Tracking Solutions/Server.
      Further strengthening its capabilities,
      link hidden, please login to view, a leading developer of virtual production solutions and camera robotics. This collaboration seamlessly integrates LED displays and controllers with Mo-Sys’s XR technology to create a comprehensive XR solution. In the LG Virtual Production Studio, the HELIOS Controller allows multiple users to operate the Mo-Sys Camera Tracking Solutions/Server platform in real time without the need for additional software.
      The studio significantly enhances production efficiency by reducing set build times. Advanced features such as parallax motion and real-time rendering enhance realism and adaptability, offering greater creative flexibility, increased content output and cost savings. Looking ahead, the studio plans to produce episodic content and collaborate with brands, further reinforcing LG’s commitment to innovative storytelling.
      Beyond creative benefits, virtual production reduces the need for costly physical sets and on-location shoots, minimizing environmental impact while streamlining production workflows. This shift helps reduce environmental impact while making content creation faster and more adaptable to a variety of creative demands.

      The LG Virtual Production Studio features a 25-foot, two-wall display constructed from two large 1.5mm pixel pitch LG MAGNIT Studio Series LBAG015-G3 Direct View Micro LED displays, positioned at a 90-degree angle. Despite being a compact 1,000-square-foot space – small compared to conventional studios – this setup delivers limitless creative possibilities with ultra-realistic backgrounds and seamless special effects. Unlike traditional LED displays with wider pixel pitches that require large studios to avoid visible pixels, LG MAGNIT technology enables high-quality content creation within a compact footprint.
      LG’s global in-house creative agency, HSAD, plays a pivotal role in maximizing the studio’s potential, leveraging its cutting-edge tools to craft compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. The establishment of this advanced studio marks a significant milestone for LG, underscoring its commitment to innovation and sustainability in content creation.
      By investing in an in-house virtual production studio, LG is redefining creativity – producing high-quality content faster with less environmental impact and new levels of creative freedom.
