So you buy a LG 4k ready TV, you load the YouTube app that came pre installed and that you have updated to the latest version so you can see 4K quality. Then you try to watch ANY 4K video and the you get the app "out of memory" crash. WTF why is the TV free memory not large enough to play 4K videos via the app? What needs to be done to make this work? Add more memory, free up memory, uninstall everything? Most apps including the LG browser crash consistently with this memory message. Don't you test this stuff before releasing it?
Come on LG give some feedback on the real issue and more importantly what can be done to fix it?43UJ670V TV with WebOS 04.70.45
As a rule of thumb LG do not develop the apps for webOS, that is the purview of the content providers.
Plus this a user to user forum and there is no guarantee that LG even looks at forum such as this one, although if they have any sense they will.
There is a sticky post with a link to the LG portal where you can detail the problems you are having. Add in to your communication with them all the relevant details of your TV, firmware and the release version of any relevant apps. Make it clear you are a member of this forum and that you will detail what responses you get from them here. That way at least it is made clear that you are not one person alone who they can ignore.

Brand new 2018 tv with latest firmware yet browser keeps crashing as per these messages. try to update chrome browser but fails. Please fix this fundamental Internet feature as it appears to be going for sometime now. had firmware update 19 Feb 2018 still useless.
The browser in webOS is meant for basic browsing it was never meant to replace apps to consume content.
You can go and look at Samsung forums and find exactly the same complaints about the Tizen web browser.
I am not sure why you would watch YouTube through the web browser when there is an app available.

You cannot install Flash on webOS, it is never going to happen especially as Adobe are scrapping it in a couple of year time.
Plus the browser is unique to webOS and is not Chrome, but yes it does use I believe use WebKit so theoretically you might be able to hack Google Pepper Flash to work.
Encourage content providers to move to a modern technology such as HTML5.

I encourage everyone to report the Web browser issue to Amazon. If Pandora works Amazon Music should be able to.
I tried Amazon Support but basically got ignored. We need some numbers.
Can you point us to the particular support page you used to contact Amazon?

I'd like to be able to control my AppleTV with my magic remote properly. The Magic remote does control certain features of the box, it doesn't actively support any Apple product in the drop down list of manufacturers. Surely it can't be that hard to adopt full support, can it? This isn't some 3rd world company we're talking about, it's Apple for goodness sake.
I would guess that it is more a case of Apple not playing ball.

Any one tried this app before. Please help me. I called Cust. care but they are dragging the issue saying, that it was referred to their technical Dept. And will revert back. Pls do help
When you say that you are unable to download the app do you mean from the LC Content Store or somewhere else?

LG should be pushing hard to HBO, STARZ, SHOWTIME, CINEMAX, for apps for WEBOS. It makes your TV's more appealing to buy. I love the picture on my new LG TV; I did not realize there were no apps, and can't play via the browser; VERY DISAPPOINTED in a $2500 TV SET! I don't want pay for these again via Hulu, or Amazon; as I already subscribe to these channels via cable TV; why do I want to pay again! If you can't get the apps, make WEBSOS support Adobe FLASH, so we can watch via the browser! Do SOMETHING please!
Hi sphinxrb,
I agree that LG should be doing a lot more to get content providers on-board, even if LG developed the apps and the providers paid them to do it. At least if that sort of set up was in place when LG updated webOS they would (in theory) know what to update in the apps themselves.
On the Adobe Flash front however I am sorry but it is such a prehistoric piece of software that is hugely complicated to programme for and is riddled with bugs. HTML5 has usurped Flash's position in the market place, it is just that people are wedded to it and cannot seem to move on to a product that is less problematic, is simpler to produce content for and has less overheads both on the front and backends.

Thank s for comments. The NAS is a Netgear Stora. I'm afraid I could not make Serviio find it, so still looking for a solution. Sounds like I should try Plex.
Hi,
Assuming yours is the model listed in the following link then unfortunately Plex is a no-go as your unit does no have the requirements to undertake transcoding:
https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/27039/how-to-install-plex-in-netgear-stora-ms2110
Like PeterV I'm not using Plex on a NAS; but on a standalone server set up.

how to setup vpn on lg smmart tv
To my knowledge there is no way to set up a VPN on webOS, possibly you could do so on your modem instead.

Hi
I cant find Amazon Prime App for my LG TV 49LH576T in LG Content Store. Is there any alternative way to install this app on my tv?
Apps are often dependant on geographical location, first you need to find out if it is available in your area.

My LG tv can’t stream movies from Nordic hbo website.
Can't stream because the app is not working, or the app is unavailable?

I have a 43LJ614V TV which I have already sent back to supposedly get fixed so much for being smart has anyone had this problem as I have only had it a few months?
What sound problem are you experiencing?

Flash is a notoriously fickle programme to support, so many hardware and software providers (not just LG) do not support it and have not done so for years (see Apple). Plus Flash is a dying technology:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-40716304
So the answer I am afraid is to badger the content providers to move to twenty first century technologies sooner rather than later.
Remember HTML5 is your friend.

I used Serviio but soon moved to Plex as it seemed to be (at the time, 2+ years ago) a more rounded solution. What NAS do you have, possibly it may support Plex and/or Serviio?

Hi there, can anyone tell me if the lg43uj701v is compatable with USB 3.
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
According to the following review it is USB 2.0 compatible:
https://www.personal-reviews.com/2017/05/lg-43uj701v-review/
Obviously a USB 3.0 drive will work off of it of course.

There is a lot of confusion over the HBO GO app. There is an app available, but it is seems to be dependant on your geographical location and possibly the firmware version of your TV.
Possibly contacting HBO direct to see if it should be available to you would be a good starting place.

Hi guys!
Im a bit disapointed with my LG tv. I simply cannot stream anything via weOS. Ive tried diffrent sites and I just get the message ”remove adblocker on you browser to unlook the movie”
Can someone guide me how to disable this adblock? The model I have is UH664V LG smart
There is not, to my knowledge, an adblocker built in to the webOS browser. I suspect the problem is that the sites you are visiting are not recognising the browser's userAgent String; or the sites rely heavily on Adobe Flash. In the case of the userAgent String being unrecognised this is an issue the website needs to address. If it is a Flash issue then that too will be something for the website needs to address as support is unlikely ever be added to the browser. The reason for this is twofold Flash is a terrible product constantly changing requiring re-writes of the browser and also the biggest reason is that Adobe has said they will kill off the product sometime in the near future.
Details on the webOS browser:
http://webostv.developer.lge.com/discover/specifications/webos-tv-platform/web-engine/
As the browser is based around WebKit getting a website to work with it should be a breeze, outside of Flash of course.
