Hi has anyone figured out how to get mobdro downloaded. Thanks Michael

Hi @michaelmulvihill

Sadly unless Mobdro write a webOS compatible app it is not going to be possible to run it on LG's platform.

Hello Georges,

I contacted the support in Jordan, They recommended to buy a smart box as a work around for to solve this porblem.

why not to install a new version of netflix using USB. Is there any updated version on the net.

Hi @ES18

Sadly there will not be a new version available on the net to install via USB, as if there was a newer install it would be available through the store.  May be raising a complaint with Netfilx in the US might be another route to try.

It's not trigonometry either.

My cat is blue.

If you want a Sony LIV app then you need to start bugging Sony directly.

In one word: Elegance.

Does that make sense?

Yes, but you are not going to find it with LG. Or, Samsung, TLC, Philips etc.

Elegance like perfection is unobtainable.

I realize the question, posed in this arena, is rhetorical.  But LG customer service was less than useless regarding their own "browser".

As long as you realize it is a User-to-User forum, needs to be pointed out as a lot of members do not.  Perhaps we need a rhetorical tag.

Hi @cpatafio

Are you watching YouTube via the app or webpage?

Hi @Vishnu Reddy

No unfortunately not, that is because this a User-to-User forum.

If you want an app for a particular service you need to contact that content provider directly, in the case of Wynk try this page:

https://wynk.in/corporate/contact.html

webOS (dependent on version) does have the ability to have apps support webcams:

https://webostv.developer.lge.com/api/webos-service-api/camera/

That said whether the kernel has the USB Video Class (UVC) drivers baked in to the kernel is a different matter.

Then you have to find an app on webOS that supports a webcam.

Facebook Portal anyone?

It is unlikely that your TV will ever receive these apps as it is running webOS 2 which most content providers will not support.

Hi @wayne sharratt

Well if you can convince Google to compile a version of Chrome for webOS that would be great, of course it will probably just end up crashing the TV due to bad memory usage. 

Websites need to be written to recognize the browser using their site, one size does not fit all in the World Wide Web.  When a site proudly tells you the browser is out of date it is because it has not correctly identified the webOS platform, it has done a check for WebKit which many browsers are based on, but has not correctly identified the actual browser.

PLUS THERE IS NO NEED TO SHOUT, this being a User-to-User forum the other members can only do so much, and I doubt anyone is going to take the time to create a browser that really suits you.

Try a hard reset.

When I am trying to play premium content on hotstar, it is showing me the playback error. Please resolve this. In other devices it is working perfectly. I have raised this to hotstar they asked me to raise it to TV manufacturer. Attach is the screenshot of the issue.

Unfortunately I doubt that HOTSTAR the creators of the webOS app actually frequent this User-to-User forum, so you would be better off contacting their customer support.

On certain scenarios, I notice barely visible Elongated rectangular lines on the LEFT side of my screen?

Please advise

Thanks

Sounds like a physical fault, a picture would paint a thousand words.  Is the TV under warrany?

Hi Team,
I have implemented embed youtube player in my smartTV app. I have developed this app using HTML, CSS and jQuery.
But I'm facing TV remote focus issue on youtube player controls.
Can you please provide solutions, how to achieve this.

Hi @KARUPPASAMY KANNAN

If you are developing your own apps for the webOS platform you may wish to sign up to the LG Developers platform:

Last time i upgraded to WebOS 5

Hi @SIMADAYZ

Currently, there is no webOS 5, you are most likely referring to the software not OS/firmware version.

Hello,

I have a LG smart tv (made in 2012), with netflix application pre-installed in it. Unfortunately, the netflix application does not support arabic subtitles, but it support other subtitles like english, frensh, spanish.

Is there any workaround for this ? Is there any possibility to upgrade the netflix application, which I already tried with no luck to find another version. 

Please advise, many thansk.

ES

Hi @ES18

Unfortunately as Netflix produce the app for the webOS platform it would be best to contact their customer support team to see if they plan a fix/upgrade.

Can I download zee 5 on tv

Hi @Kabir walia

Check with Zee5 customer support that your region and specific model of TV has the app available.

Another user over on the smart TV discussion forum reports the exact  same problem on a 49UM71007LB.  What about this LG ?

LG never answer questions on this User-to-User forum.

We are unable to see zee5 app on LG content store. How to get it to installed?

Hi @Manjali

You need to check the model number/webOS version is supported by the Zee5 app, to do this you would need to contact their customer support.

Hi @Omar Haddad

Here are a couple of YouTube videos on installing from the LG Store:

How webOS can say not supporting the Adobe Flash, may site are using Flash player for video content, I am also facing same problem, for better experience the content platform must be user friendly. I am not able to run Zee5 on web saying browser to upgrade. 

Adobe dropped support for all Smart TVs several years ago, and are completely discontinuing development of Flash at the end of 2020:

https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/25/16026236/adobe-flash-end-of-support-2020

Sites that are still using Flash are only doing so because they have yet to embrace the HTML5 revolution that has been around nearly ten years, sadly they are basically too lazy to change/will not spend the money to update.  The best thing is to complain to Zee5, it worked with HOTSTAR who not only upgraded their site to work with the webOS browser, but they also developed and released an app for the platform.

Hi @Ram Kancharla

Your TV is running webOS 2.0 and I believe that all content providers you detail are only supporting from 3/3.5 onwards.  The best thing you could do is to purchase an external device, i.e. ROKU, Fire TV Stick to get the latest channels.

My browser was working perfectly, then there was an update, now we can lo longer live stream our church service! What happened? Also, some pages on the church website (which is a secure, very advanced beautiful site) are showing little image icons rather than the images! What happened? Can anyone help me? I have an OLED65C9AUA,,,

Hi @TamiL2020

Was the update to the OS or the browser itself?

Website need to be written to recognize specific browsers, it may be that the site needs updating to be able to steam to webOS which does have specific standards that may not be understood by the church's site.

In the first instance contact both content providers and ask them if your model of TV is supported by their apps.
