Good News! LG Support answered me today. There is an update (05.10.15). It cannot be download over-the-air (yet). But from their website: https://www.lg.com/de/support/product/lg-OLED77C9PLA 1. Download 2. unpack the zip file 3. Put the extracted file in a folder named "LG_DTV" on an usb stick. 4. insert the usb stick on the tv usb port 5. start tv 6. "update now?" -> kick "yes" Now Dolby Atmos with 4k 60hz on my OLED C9 (from 2019) works fine with Apple TV 4k (2021 Model) and Denon Receiver just fine! nice!

I output the sound from my LG 75UJ657A to external speakers through a bluetooth connection, but it doesn't automatically connect to the bluetooth device when I turn the TV on. Whenever I cycle the TV off and, then, back on, the TV asks if I want to connect to the bluetooth device, and I have to select "yes" with the remote. My smart phone automatically connects to all the bluetooth devices I've set it up with. When I start my car, my phone connects automatically to the car stereo/phone system, and it does the same with other bluetooth speakers I have. This is what I want my TV to do. How do I get my LG 75UJ657A to automatically connect to the bluetooth device I've set up with it?

Hi everyone, I wish LG would consider updating their Codecs list or at least give us a way of installing this codecs in our TV manually. i know my TV is capable of playing a lot of stuff but i'm always stuck with "not supported" for most of the media i have. One of the most wished stuff i'd love to see is Added support for H.264 10bit (still very popular and used a lot) as well as Opus codecs (its a Free codec and its getting a lot use recently especially with H.265 MKV videos) Like i said, please add this codecs and more or at least give us a way of doing it ourselves. i know there might be legal issues and some codecs are payed, so just let us install it ourselves instead. Thanks.

I noticed since the last update of WebOS, it defaults to a screen with apps along the bottom rather than HDMI1 as before on startup. Even after going into the input settings and selecting HDMI1, it stills defaults to the other screen on startup. When selecting HDMI1 on the inputs screen, it has a red dot in the corner, which I would assumes means that's the selected default. But again, this seems to be ignored this on startup. Thanks.

I called Amazon CS and they said it is a known problem and has to do with a bug in the latest release of the app. "They are working on it". I don't now why they don't re-release the old version until they get their act together

Hi. What can I do to get my TV to use the full broadband speed that I've got available. My tv is a 55EC930V and is using a wired connection to my router. My broadband is currently running at 125Mbps. When I use any other devices such as a laptop, mobile phone, etc the speed using fast.com returns anything between 120 to 130 MBps. But, when I use the web browser on the TV, it always maxes out at 33Mbps. This value is reported by fast.com. If I use the speed test in the Netflix app, this returns approx 29Mbps. I never get anything higher, so what's limiting it? The same problem occurs for YouTube and that's the only other App that I've got installed. If the network board in the TV is supposed to be 10-100Mbps, why don't I get 100 Mbps? I know I won't get 125Mbps because LG never puts 1Gbps in any of it's TVs.

Guys, some ray of hope

I will do that tomorrow. Have a nice father's Day.

I called LG today. The tech had me change the location in settings to Canada, restart, and then back to US. That did not help. Then he was going to have me do a factory reset (which I already had done twice before the call), and so I asked him what he would have me do next if the factory reset did not work. He said he didn't know, upon which I asked him to please check if others were reporting this issue (it did not help that he never heard of SlingTV). After about 5 minutes on hold, he came back and said other customers have complained about this issue and factory reset (which includes signing out of SlingTV) did not help either. The technician said they will elevate the problem to the LG software engineers to work this out with SlingTV. Bottomline: LG tech support was not able to resolve the issue for me. Hopefully a future update will resolve the problem.

Signing out of Sling, or deleting the Sling app will allow you to go to the Home Screen like normal but as soon as you sign back-in to Sling, or relaunch the app, the loop starts again. So, it is only a temporary fix. If you launch Netflix from your remote keypad then go to the Home button, that seems to work too - until you relaunch Sling. I think this issue started after the last Sling update.

Nobody knows if LG is going to fix it, but honestly, the community already has. I'll summarize what I did which was based on everyone's helpful instructions above, meant for someone who knows little to nothing about telnet, ssh, etc. (If you are familiar with those applications, this will be a breeze. If not, just follow the instructions and search the web if you'd like to learn more about the commands used.) Note that most of these instructions are taken from https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io and may be slightly different depending on your TV. On your TV... Turn on your TV Open the web browser app Browse to rootmy.tv Slide the little "Slide to root" bar to the right if you have the kind of remote that lets you use an on-screen pointer or just press the number 5 on your remote Accept the security prompt The exploit will proceed automatically and the TV will reboot itself; choose to reboot a second time to finalize the installation of the Homebrew Channel (the TV may turn off instead of rebooting - if this happens, just turn the TV back on again) Your TV should now have Homebrew Channel app installed, and an unauthenticated(!) root telnet service exposed Go to the TV's network settings and write down its IP address Note that your TV must be turned on in order to connect to it remotely; when it's off, it's all the way off (although there may be a non-power-saving setting you can enable to keep the TV's operating system running when it's off so that it will turn on faster, in which case you might be able to connect to it even when it's off). On your computer... Enable telnet (sorry Mac users, you'll need to figure this out on your own) Click on the Windows Start Menu Type "Windows Features" and click on "Turn Windows features on and off" Scroll down to Telnet client and check the box Click OK Open a command prompt (Win+R then type "cmd") Generate an encryption key pair that will be used to connect securely to the TV Type "mkdir .ssh" to create the secure shell directory if it's not there already Type "ssh-keygen -t rsa -f .\.ssh\lgtv_rsa" (the file name can be anything you want, but that's what I used) Type "notepad .ssh\config" Paste the following contents into the newly created file: Host 1.2.3.4 User root IdentityFile C:\Users\yourusername\.ssh\lgtv_rsa Replace "1.2.3.4" with your TV's IP address you wrote down in step 8 above Replace "yourusername" with the directory name where your user data is stored Save the file and quit Notepad Type "type .ssh\lgtv_rsa.pub" (it will spit out some ugly text - this is your public encryption key) Select all the text and copy it to your clipboard - you'll need this shortly Type "telnet 1.2.3.4", where 1.2.3.4 is your TV's IP address you wrote down in step 8 above, to connect to your TV (No username or password is required to connect as the "root" user - we'll fix this security hole in a moment) Type "vi /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys" Once the new empty file opens, type the letter "i" to enter insert mode Press Ctrl-V to paste in the clipboard contents, which is the public key generated in step 3 Press the "Esc" (Escape) key to exit insert mode Type ":wq!" and press Enter to write the file and then quit the editor immediately Type "exit" to exit the telnet application Type "exit" again to exit the command prompt Back on your TV... Open the Homebrew Channel Go to Settings (the Gear icon) Disable Telnet Enable SSH Server Enable Block system updates Reboot the TV Back on your computer, apply Tam's SSL fix... Disable telnet (follow the instructions in "On your computer" above but uncheck the box next to Telnet client instead of checking it this time) Open a command prompt (Win+R then type "cmd") Type "ssh 1.2.3.4" (not telnet this time!), where 1.2.3.4 is your TV's IP address, to connect to your TV (again, no username or password is required, but it's still secure since the encryption key you generated above is used) Follow Tam's instructions above, repeated here (I suggest copy/pasting the "wget" line from the browser into your command prompt window): (Now, if you're like me, the "wget" command will fail because the version running on the TV doesn't have the capability of connecting to secure HTTPS web sites. Skip to the Alternate Instructions if you have the same issue with the "wget" command.) cd /tmp wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tf318/lg/main/update-ca-certs.sh chmod +x update-ca-certs.sh ./update-ca-certs.sh Alternate instructions If the "wget" command failed, follow these steps instead: Open Tam's script file in this browser in another tab: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tf318/lg/main/update-ca-certs.sh Copy the text and then close that tab Return to the command prompt... Type "vi /tmp/update-ca-certs.sh" Once the new empty file opens, type the letter "i" to enter insert mode Press Ctrl-V to paste in the clipboard contents, which is the Tam's script Press the "Esc" (Escape) key to exit insert mode Type ":wq!" and press Enter to write the file and then quit the editor immediately Type the following two commands: chmod +x update-ca-certs.sh ./update-ca-certs.sh Whether using Tam's original instructions or my Alternate version, the TV will reboot (twice, maybe) and Plex should now open and be happy. At least mine was. Thanks again, RootMy.TV team and Tam, for all your research and hard work!

Press the mute button 5 times in a row with your magic remote Disable screen saver It's a hidden menu..... yup...

After updating to the latest web browser with new user interface on LG C9, subtitles on all streaming websites disappears every 2-3mins. Video continues to play without subs. The subtitles will re-appear if I move the magic remote but disappears again after 3mins. Should be a widespread issue as it's also happening on Youtube.com videos with subs. Un-related but Play/Stop button on magic remote also stop working on the new browser.

Ads? No. Stop LG, just no! If i pay to have a device i do not want ADS on it ok.

Hi, I have the exact same issue with my LG CX. Please LG release an update that allows the user to select which audio output to use by default when the bluetooth audio device is turned off!

LG needs to fix the broken Dolby Vision when connecting via an AVR. Seems that Pioneer issued an update. Connection Denon/Marantz is broken. @LG test your updates before pushing them to aTV. We do not need crapy updates. We can wait until the tests are done

Hello, Is it possible to add the driver for external usb 3 gigabit ethernet adapters in the firmware to support them and get more network bandwith like on the oled TV C9 and CX (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgJUUNCsHao) to give to the product the ability to play 4K hdr mkv remux of high bit rate blurays without stuttering (like gemini man or billy lynn for example streamed from Plex server with giga network) ? If you play the same file on direct attached usb drive, no stuttering at all and it's ultra fast to load and fast forward for example. It already supports external usb2 FastEthernet adapters with ASIX AX88772 chipset and work well on both type A and type C ports, I have tested it, but it is also a 100Mbit/s adapter like the integrated one, so same bandwith, and stuttering is always here. The driver that need to be added to the firmware is the one for the usb 3 gigabit ethernet adapters with ASIX AX88179 chipset like on oled C9 and CX, but no luck, at least with firmware 3.0.0.8 it is not supported, eihter with type A ports or with the type C port (I have tested both, RJ45 leds stay OFF, the same with a power usb 3 hub in between, driver not included in the firmware). I have also tesed usb3 gigabit ethernet adapter with realtek RT L8153 chipset, wich is seems to be supported on older oled C7 and C8, but it is also not supported (blinking leds this time but no connection, driver not included in the firmware). This is very frustrating for a 1800$ product !

Same issues on 77CX. Previous browser version had other issues but not as bad as the new one. Hope it gets fixed soon, I hate that such an expensive TV has these kinds of issues. Where is the QA? I found that turning off Adaptive Streaming using Javascript fixes the disappearing subtitle issue, but it means sacrificing video quality, so it's not a good solution. (play / pause still won't work). Also there is no way to downgrade back to the original version. I also have a C9, luckily I haven't and will not update the browser on that TV as it's been working great, better than the original CX browser version (new update ruined it completely).

Hey, I had some compatibility problems with REACTJS and ENACTJS, with the older versions of Webos, for example 3.0. I had to abandon these frameworks and rewrite much of the code in pure Javascript. For this reason the progress of the project is a little slow. I hope to launch a functional version in the second half of this year. I appreciate the remembrance and encouragement.

I'd like a fast accessible shortcut to turn off the screen, eg. when pressing settings, a button on the screen. Or even better, the possibility to configure the speaker off button on the remote to turn off the screen instead. It should work independently of the energy saving feature, so that energy saving is not set to off when the screen is turned on again. The existing procedure to turn off screen is to complex press settings, press all settings, press energy saving, press off..... and when the screen is turned on again, the energy saving is set to off, and not to the previous value (eg. auto). OLED65C7V-Z

LOL!

If you use the voice function on the remote and say "screen off" it will also turn off the screen, this seems to be the most efficient way of doing it I've found so far. There needs to be a shortcut button on the remote!

Absolutely agree. I've been having trouble with this so much that i started watching stuff on my Tablet instead of using my brand new TV! Come on LG, add support for more Codecs it's never bad to have more support, never. it's actually always good.

I agree. I´m trying to use IPTV apps and I have problems with some channels because use codecs like H.265, not present in my TV (49UJ6560 with WebOs 3.5)

+1 Please enable vpn support.

Hey! To get BBC iPlayer, try changing your TV settings to the UK and use VPN. I have tried PureVPN It worked for me,. plus they are have some discount also, www.purevpn.com/order

Thank you, fokrones!! Finally someone with a more or less actionable solution. I can confirm the subtitles functionality working across all devices (incl. LG OLED). MaxPlayer is not free though (€1,50 per month for 5 devices), which I am happy to pay. Thanks again! UPDATE: after 2 months of use I can report the following about maxplayer.tv: 1) the display of subtitles sometimes differs depending on the device. One example: on LG TV only English whereas Multi Sub on iPad. 2) there are some bugs: for some episodes of GoT there were no English subs to choose from on LG TV. On iPad no problem. 3) the quality of the picture seems to be better on maxplayer.tv compared to Smarters iPTV but maxplayer.tv had more buffering issues than Smarters. To sum up, not very happy at the moment. Hoping to find better alternatives with working subtitles across ALL devices and no buffering issues. Any suggestions??

How can I add yahsat to my satellite list webos lg tv????

Same here, had to track down a remote, Flippen annoying. Yes with my android box remote I can hit the source button and go to current HDMI port, but it was nice to just have the last used HDMI port be the default when I turn on the TV, now I gotta explain to the wifey, the new step to watching TV.... Kind of hurts the WAF

Please add the YES app - the Yankees Entertainment app. They now have a direct subscription service.

Hi @JeanF The short answer is no, the long one is yes but only if you or someone else creates it for the platform. It is not as simple as actually taking an existing browser, say like Chrome, and installing it on the platform. (mansplaining over...)

just found the solution - the account was logged out... need to re-login from account management in settings.

Thanks for the confirmation. It's good to know that it's not just me! I'm a bit bewildered that nobody at LG has noticed or fixed this bug yet.

I can stream ABC content using either the iView app on our LG G1 65" OLED, or via the iView Android TV app that is installed on a Chromecast with Google TV that is plugged into one of the G1 HDMI ports. If I stream content using the app on the TV, every few minutes there's a momentary (fraction of a second) interruption to both sound and video. If I stream the same content using the app on the Chromecast, I get no such interruptions. Both TV and Chromecast are using wired Ethernet connections to the same switch, so I can't see that these interruptions are due to a network problem, or I'd see them on both devices. It would seem to be a problem with the app provided on the TV. Other streaming services that we access via apps on the TV (Netflix, Stan, Amazon Prime, etc) do not show the same problem.

I don't understand how a 2021 so-called smart TV that costs +1000$ can have such bad subtitles system for the media player. 1) The subtitles delay can only go in – time. No +. So if the subtitles are too early, you cannot improve it. This seriously makes zero sense. Also, it should be possible to control by 50ms or at least 100ms instead of only half seconds. 2) The font is terribly bad. Not super legible, with inconsistent spacing (the space between letters is sometimes big, sometimes small), and a pretty bad design overall. Samsung allowed to select various fonts. 3) The smallest size possible is still relatively big. Why not give more control options? Maybe selecting the exact size by increments of 2 points instead of 6-7 options. 4) It should be possible to decide if subtitles have an outline or not, or shadow, just overall more control depending on personal taste and the film one watches. Just color is simply amateurish for this price. My older and cheaper samsung was so much better on that front. Seriously LG, please improve this in a firmware upgrade. This is not okay for the price of your televisions, it really ruins my film experience.

Me too.

I discovered the same issue yesterday. I tried contacting LG, leaving my number for a call back, but I never received a call. I contacted SLING, and they said they had not heard of the problem. Further, they stated it could not possibly be due to their app; it had to be an LG issue. Is anyone aware of a resolution?

I think the answer is that LG hates you (and the rest of us) and wants your TV to be redundant so you buy a new one. My preferred option is to buy something like a google chromecast or similar and use them for everything 'smart'. These things work much better for any and all apps than the crappy apps on the 'smart' TV. LG quickly makes their older TVS unusable with bloated software or just no updates - but you can sidestep that with an HDMI device such as chromecast and never use their rubbish software again.

I'm also running into this issue ... very frustrating for a television that's often used with receivers/apple tv's, that means they don't do a lot of testing before they push out firmware updates.

webOS 6 needs to be made available to all existing LG smart tv's. The lack of updates for older models will damage LG in the long run. A tv is not the kind of item people want to buy every year or so. If LG won't support the 2 smart tv's that I've already bought then my next one will be another brand. Also support for developers is pretty bad. The documentation needs a whole lot more information, it is not kept up to date and the component manager can't pull updates as LG's servers are no longer available.

Any personal opinion about this projector? Through a LG HU85LA Review page, I read that, since this projector only has USB 2.0 support, it affect the streaming of blue-ray movies through USB. Is that correct? Then why LG didn't place USB 3.0 or 3.1 support? Share your view...

Hey Guys, So I noticed the same problem and found an ideal workaround. I used the browser feature built in the webos tv and navigated to espn and logged in. I was then able to watch my espn + content. Yes the website takes some time to load but the video content once your playing it and go to full screen showed 0% lag. Keep in mind I'm using an ethernet connection on the tv and have a 100 mbps connection. The quality was very good as well, 4k. I added a picture.

Seconded!

Where can I go to suggest that this screensaver be set up as a default, but can be disabled. Karaoke is impossible with this!

This is very annoying. This firework screensaver comes on when you play the heart radio app or Deezer etc. They have features such as karaoke where you can read the words but the screensaver kicks in! You should be able to turn this off.

I've experienced this a few times with my UF770V set. First time, had the mainboard replaced under a support call. Second time, it was after I'd been messing with settings - found that ARC wouldn't work with HDMI Deep Colour enabled on HDMI1. Disabled it and ARC started working again. Third time, seemed to coincide with the update to 04.25.56 firmware. After a *lot* of messing about with resetting to defaults, leaving unplugged, changing ARC/HDMI control settings on the TV and sound bar, I discovered that the following fixed it for me. Turn HDMI control off at the TV and soundbar Turn TV and sound bar off and unplug from power Disconnect all HDMI leads apart from the one between the TV and soundbar Plug TV and sound bar in, and turn on Enable HDMI control on the sound bar Enable ARC and HDMI control on the TV. Sound output to the soundbar show now work Turn the TV off - soundbar should turn off with it Turn the TV back on - soundbar should turn on automatically Plug the rest of the HDMI leads back in and test again Also, I found that I had been setting the TV to PCM output, which basically meant stereo output even when the source was 5.1. Leave as Auto rather than PCM.
