Hi,

I don't remember if I have set any pin number for my TV but now I don't if I have set a pin nor I don't know default pin. I tried 0000, 9999 and 1234 but no success. Can you please guide me how I can set/re-set pin?

Thank you,

Sree

You are probably going to have to set the unit back to factory defaults:

Hello, 

I have a problem enabling my subtitles on my LG UH65 TV.
All my computers are connected to the same network and are in the same HomeGroup (windows 10 feature), my LG-TV is connected to the same network.
My primary computer is working as a media server without any applications (like Plex etc..).
I have been working on it for days and now I got to the point where I can view the videos which located on my primary computer, on the TV.
At this point I wanted to watch the videos with subs so I did the following actions:
1. Pressing on Photos and Movies.
2. Choosing the videos folder, navigated to "All Videos"
3. The video has started
4. Pressed on the "3 points" button and saw there is a button called subtitles but it was grayed out and disabled.

What can I do in order to make it work?

Few things that I think you need to know:

- the subs has the same name
- the files (movie and subs) located at the same directory
- for some reason, I have to put the videos (and the music and the photos) on my library on Windows Media PLayer to be able to see them on "All Videos" directory

Thank you very much !!

I have tested the same on my UH650V (FW V. 04.30.40) and subtitles are working.  Ensure that the file names of the video & subtitle files are the same, barring the file extension of course.  Many of the subtitle files from my Plex server are formatted with the language version, i.e. A Fish Called Wanda.eng.srt which will not display, removing the .eng allows it to display.

As detailed in the following forum link LG has an official suggestions form:

my lg tv not showing pdf files

As far as I can ascertain webOS does not have a native PDF viewer, the only way to view such a document is to follow the steps in this thread:

What music files are supported by webOS

 

Firstly, excellent work on the correct layout of webOS, so many users get it wrong (personal gripe, long time user starting with the Pre).

Secondly, I found a couple of pages that might help :

Hello there,

I am struggling at the moment with our brand new smart tv which we took brand new and never opened with us when we shifted from Dubai to New Zealand.

I can't get to the content store to download netflix, I only see Premium with 4 options (amazon, al jazeera and 2 orhers). I tried changing the location on the settings but I can only chose from the Middle East and Africa and when I try I get no change whatsoever to the options on premium.

This is highly frustrating as we moved to a new house and were hoping to watch tv straight away, specially with kids. Any help would be truly appreciated.

First thing people are going to want to know is the exact model of your television before anyone can offer their sage advice.

how to instal flash player in lg webos 42lb

You cannot install Flash it is supported neither by LG or Adobe for webOS.

1. The Plex startup screen starts out black, then you see a dark gray border around the Plex logo, then some resizing, then loaded. Just annoying.

This set of actions is Plex talking to the television to find out what resolution, whether it has to do backend encoding/rendering etc.

Best use the feedback form that LG has:

Here is the product support page for your television:

http://www.lg.com/us/support-product/lg-55EC9300

There is a firmware update from 12/02/2016, whether it is webOS 3 it does not say, you will just have to download it and see what happens.

Take a look at this article:

https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-look-up-whether-my-TV-supports-Miracast

It contains a link to a site that will allow you to search for your TV to see if it is compatible.   If your model number is not found try just putting in the first four characters as your specific model my not be listed but the overall model range may be.

The article also guides you through the process of casting from your mobile device to a television.

Anyone?

I think the answer is no, but if you search this forum and the web there are people who have asked the same question.  Maybe one of them has found an answer.

I thought this model already ran v.3

flush player to smart TV to see hotstar prime

I am going to guess you meant Flash Player, and if that is the case unfortunately it is not an installable item under webOS.  You will need to badger Hotstar and/or LG until they produce an application for the webOS platform.

Sadly any application that is reliant on Flash Player is doomed to failure due to the regularity that Adobe update it and screw things up.

webOS does not support Android software.

Do you mean that you are only using your television as a web connected device and you do not have a TV signal cable connected?

My point was more that instead of blaming LG for an outdated buggy insecure third party application that the manufacturer dropped support (for several years) for Unix based systems, of which webOS is one, and streaming  providers  provided dedicated applications for webOS and websites providers used better available alternatives the easier life will be for everyone.  

These guys have apparently produced an independent third party version of Flash , so you could try it: http://smartflashplayer.com.  It purports to work on LG & Samsung (because they have the same issue with Flash as well).  Let us know how you get on.

Basically Flash is terrible, do everything you can to avoid using it.

Sadly Adobe Flash is an ever changing piece of software and LG probably (somewhat understandably) do not want to spare the time and considerable expense of trying to constantly back-port fixes to earlier versions of their products.  Streaming can easily be supported by friendlier non plug-in methods such as HTML 5, you just have to hope that the streaming provider finally recognises how bad Adobe Flash is and moves to something better or produces a dedicated app for webOS.  As a consumer this is where you come in, go nag the provider.

The answer is you probably will not be able to, unless they are specifically designed for a LG webOS TV.

Remember that webOS is not a Windows PC or an Android device.

Hi,

I am assuming that you cannot connect even though you are trying.  

Give us a little more background as to the problem you are having please.

Firstly are you actually in the UK?

webOS currently does not support Android apps.

Have you all asked HBO to develop an app for webOS TV?

Hi omgold,

I have had my webOS TV since the middle of December 2016 and cannot say I have seen a problem with my remote control and the navigation around the various interfaces. 

However, I would say that I find the remote too small with the buttons themselves small, fiddly and too closely spaced for my big mitts.

My kit:  LG webOS (04.30.40) TV UH650V with AKB74915324 remote control
