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'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).

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!

hi, i just need to listen to the audio of certain Youtube videos so is it possible to turn off the screen ?.............this is possible for Live TV though............😀

Hi, When i power on my OLED55C8PLA TV it always starts at the source 'SET UP BOX' even there is no set up box connected. We only use HDMI2. That is also always the used source when we power down the TV. Its quite anoying the TV doesnt starts the input last used. I hope someone can help me with this issue! Thanks!

Okay so Can LG reply to these question rather than ignoring this issue Atleast then us users can decide to chose another manufacturer

This is indeed the only fix no matter how many stubborn posters are in denial above, But for me it was only temporary. After 5 months I had to do it again But I also just bought a fire stick to avoid the issue totally in the future.

The Spotify app may not be available on some LG TVs due to compatibility issues. The Spotify app is only compatible with LG smart TV models from 2016 or later, all of which run LG’s webOS. If you have an older model, such as the LG TV LF630V, which is from 2014, the Spotify app may not be supported. In such cases, it's recommended to consider alternative methods to play Spotify on your TV, such as using AudKit Spotify Music Converter, Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay. Additionally, ensuring that your TV's firmware is updated and that it is connected to a compatible network may help resolve the issue. If the app is not available, it's advisable to explore other devices for streaming Spotify content.

Nothing like that showing on my LG TV screen

The app is great and I have purchased it for life, thanks so much!

Hi webos_24, I have the same issue and I came to the same conclusion. You cannot delete a lot of things in the home screen. The only way to solve that problem is to get rid of webOS ... I used a connected xiaomi MI BOX S and I connect automatically to it at startup (and also use HDMI CEC so that I can use the MI BOX remote to control startup and shutdwon of both MI BOX and LG TV at the sametime). It is working really great. For elder people, I also use a FLauncher application in the android MI BOX that presents a nice clear and simple menu to launch the list of streaming applictaions. btw, i don't use any cable or live TV ... Hope this could help. NB: it is a pity that this webOS is not an open software ...

1. This should not be a feature request. Its a common sense and must be implemented from day 0 of existance of the WebOS. 2. This still has not been implemented.

Impossible, we've asked this question long ago but LG is not responding. Just get an Android tv stick for your TV or get a more recent series.

Try to change your country in tv settings to UK Then you will need a vpn to UK This works for me

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

Thanks for the reply, really appreciated. I eventually got through to the LG online Helpline and after a bit of back and forth, whoever was on the other end eventually told me the TV had been added to my account. Nothing is showing in my account at the minute, only my older LG TV. I'm pleased with the picture quality but still struggling a bit with the 'Magic Remote'.

Wesley, hi! Thanks for responding so far. Do you have a higher end set, and/or a newer one? I have a 2019 LG-43UK6500AUA (smaller, lower end), which has no auto-connect related to Bluetooth. Even if my Bluetooth headphones are powered on before the TV is powered on, I am still prompted with a connection approval request once the TV recognizes the headphones as a previously paired device. So, if I used the set-top box's remote to power on the TV, I sill have to keep the TV remote at hand to answer the prompt. Of course, the default answer is 'no', not 'yes', so I cannot simply press the 'OK' button, but am forced to navigate first.

Hi, Did you try turning of all connection and devices and on again, stay close to the tv. If he still can not find a device, google the problem between tv and telefoon, the problem will be explained. Or get a portable Google Chrome, ideal for not working phones or tv's. Good luck. 🤞

You should also add that all OLED TV's have an embedded "screen saver" that cannot be turned off. It is there to prevent image retention or "burn-in" but that prevention method interferes with a lot of apps, especially Plex. Whenever I use Plex to play music from my central media server either via Fire TV or directly in the LG WebOS software, it will time-out after about 20-30 minutes, When that happens, it disconnects Plex from it's source (my central NAS) and creates an error that can only be corrected by rebooting the device. It does not happen on regular LED TV's which makes sense since they are not susceptible to image retention or burn-in. Usually the remedy is to make sure the image on the screen changes or refreshes after a period of time and with Plex music, that happens about every 3-5 minutes when the song finishes playing and the next one loads. So I really don't understand why LG keeps this onerous screen saver in place. Please remove it or allow the use or the Plex app to disable it.

How do I make the tv go to the Home screen when I power it up? Currently its going to hdmi 3 and says there is no signal. I do not use any ports on the tv. I am using the apps Its a 86UQ8000AUB

When id F1Tv app comming on LG?

Greetings Touchpad users! The webOS Nation Forums went down this month -- unceremoniously redirected to some crappy review site, despite the community's pleas to let us save or preserve it in some fashion. As a result, we're looking here (and other places) for some kind of community forum! For those who visit here, I wanted to let you know that despite all recent set-backs, the legacy webOS community is alive and well, still using our Touchpads, Pres, Pixis and Veers in 2023! Resources to get online, apps to try out, and lots of other things to do can be found at webosarchive.org We've also got a Discord server going -- it even connects to webOS Devices, through a modern app called SimpleChat. Come join us at docs.webosarchive.org/community

Yup, I guess their thinking is based on the sync box pricing. It's funny that Hue Sync app for Mac and Windows is competely free (for now) and that's why the TV app feels like ripoff.

Wow. There's a lot here. Let me try and help you - but remember I'm just an LG customer like you - I work in the tech industry, but I'm not LG or ITV so I can only tell you what I know as a customer. The info I have comes from the @ITVxHelp Twitter feed. They reply very quickly if you wanted to try talking to them, but I warn you, they don't know a lot either! First - the good news - ITVx has started to roll out to LG TVs. I got my update this morning. The bad news is that it isn't working properly! I've reported it to them and we'll see what happens. In terms of the wider point - "Smart" simply means it has an internet connection and can run apps. What apps are available has nothing to do with LG - they offer their platform (WebOS) to developers, but what actually gets offered on this, or any TV is entirely up to them. Browse through this forum and you'll find lots of "where is this" and "why is this" posts. The bottom line is that ITVx is available to devices that support it - that doesn't mean they have to make it available to every TV and every device, and it doesn't mean that they have to get it to all platforms on time - there are a lot of other devices that either don't have ITVx yet, won't ever get it, or have it and it''s not working properly - it has been an undeniably shoddy roll out. The reality is that no TV or smart device has every app - and there's nothing you can do about that. Some are better than others and unfortunately, many developers don't offer LG apps, or make them last of all. LG is far from the best - but it's also not the worse - a lot of cheaper TVs don't have Disney+, for example, and that's been out for two years. Humax doesn't offer Netflix on its flagship set top box. That's just how it is, and there's no one TV or device that will get everything. As more and more streaming services come online this is only going to get worse. The thing about VPNs, specifically, is that they offer you a chance to watch stuff that shouldn't be officially available to you. Broadcasters and streaming services pay huge amounts of money for the rights to programmes, country by country, and therefore watching them from another country is a legal grey area. It would be lovely if LG offered VPN support, but VPNs are not a right either - in fact they're actually banned in many countries altogether. (For the record, I use a second router with a VPN built in and point my devices at that). The key thing to remember is that you don't have the right to anything - it's only false advertising if they specifically say "we offer this specific service or feature, on this model of TV" and then don't. The truth is that Smart TVs will never be as flexible as standalone devices like streaming sticks and computers. There are better options than LG for the sort of thing you want to do - especially as LG generally stop updating firmware after a couple of years - but just because something exists, it doesn't mean you'll get it and that's true of all devices, not just LG - and it's only going to get worse. I find it bonkers that we can't get Paramount+ on our TVs yet - but that's up to Paramount, not LG. I'm sorry if you feel you're stuck with a TV that doesn't meet your needs - look at other posts, you're very much not alone, it's the reason most people are here - but we live in an age where the TV landscape is changing all the time. Really, for the flexibility you want, you'd be better off with a separate device (FYI not a Roku - they don't support VPNs either!). I know that's not what you want to hear, but that's where we are and I don't think, from what you say, you'd be entirely happy with a Samsung, Sony or HiSense TV either - they all have their drawbacks and missing services. I hope I've been of some help explaining. I regret buying LG too, but I can''t afford to rush out and buy another model either so I'm trying to make the best of it. On the plus side, at least it looks like the wait for ITVx is nearly over!

@filfae Yes, I finally managed to enable PVR and Live TV functions and everything is working fine! I don't know the meaning of the Energy/Country Code at Toolopt6, what I could understand is that changing them will enable/disable various options in the TV software - I believe they refer to the different TV models and to the Countries in which they are sold. I also think that different TV models have different toolopt6 "class" codes, meaning the first two or three digits in the code. What I suggest you to do is to take a screenshot of the default code on your TV, then search for a screenshot (you can probably find it online or asking on this forum) in which the code has the same first 3 digits but the "DVR Ready" switch set to ON and, VERY IMPORTANT, all the other options set the same as your TV. Selecting a code with random options settings could result in malfunction or damage to your TV: I was lucky because the first time, even if I typed in a wrong code for my TV and it deleted the Magic Remote support engine and some other minor functions, as I later typed in a correct code of the right class of my TV, a software update was released that fixed the problem, and everything works great since then. When you find and type in the correct toolopt6 code for your tv, then you must change the geographic area in the options menu to a country in which DVR is enabled, and the channel list is the same as Italy. I selected Estonia and it works great. The only issue is that I had to turn off automatic time zone selection, so twice a year I have to correct the time manually. Hope it will help you.

I'm not sure what changed (maybe my kid playing with the remote), but now when I press the TV button on my remote, I am taken to the Life's Good Hub instead of antenna TV. I have to wait for it to load and then exit the app. I never installed this app. I have reset my TV to factory settings and infuriatingly still can't get to antenna TV by pressing TV. Can I remove the Life's Good Hub somehow or reprogram what the button ony remote does? My TV is a up7670puc

Great! Well done - please keep us posted.

Ha ha 😄. I just let the remote dry on sunlight for a while and it started working. The scroll button clicks sometimes automatically while scrolling. That is is only issue I have now.

I have in my LG GX OLED TV four hemi ports, the first is connected to Apple TV and the second to Sony HT A9 by earc. The third is connected to the Playstation 5 and the fourth is connected to Amazon Firestick. You can’t imagine my daily suffering, sometimes the TV turns off and the rest is works, I had to use four remote control and I worked hard to fix it, then it took a while until it got back. I can't continue with LG if this bugs is not fixed.

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!

hello sir can you provide gCMOB application for our Tv we have installed CCTV cameras and to access that we need a application called gCMOB

No, you can not do that. You need something like this:video grabber to grab video to a computer. These converters are not very expensive.

Hey! I had sam problem, i've smoke a joint, and i found the solution without buy remote controller: use an usb mouse. 😉😉

Petion on Change.org: http://chng.it/dfzjsq94MH

I have the same problem. It is very annoying. I have wireless disconnected and only ethernet connected. Already switched cable to other ports in the router, switched physical cable, and the problem remains. I wonder if this is a hardware fault (ethernet board on tv) or is this a webos (software) problem? LG, please resolve this as it seems that more people have the same issue.

Great .. But it it is good to have education related apps in LG Content store.. like Udemy , Linuxacademy, edureka.. and many more..

I second this! It would be great to see Opus especially.

On the main webos page it states that the Eurosport player app can be added or is included (obviously you would need to signup for their service) but I cannot see it and have no idea how to get onto my lgwebos tv. How exactly do I go about getting the app onto my LGwebos?
