The problem is that your tv probably only has one receiver so it is not possible to record and watch at the same time.

The only thing you can do is record while you are not watching for example when you are away.

This works only:

• if you receive the serie using the antenna;
• use a usb drive and not a flash drive

"Right, here we go again."

First. Why are you sounding so irritated about people giving a suggestion?
Second. With the rise in popularity of streamable games people hope and wish it was more accessible... hence the suggestion.

Because this is not the first time somebody suggested that LG should make an app because everybody want the 'hotstar app', the 'steam app', 'sony life' app, the 'hulu app' the 'hbo app', etc. etc. etc.

So George explains time and time again that:1: LG can not make the apps because only hotstar, steam, sony etc has the knowledge to make the apps and 2: this is not a LG forum, it is a lg USER forum.

And it is hot here with record breaking temperatures, so maybe not enough energy 🙂 

As a last resort you could try wireshark and try to see what is happening.

Think about using a powerline adapter to connect the router to your Mac via the power lines in your home.

That is a possibility but I would never use it. As a radio amateur I know these things can cause a lot of interference because they inject HF signals into your power lines.

If it is your own house invest a zaterdag to make a LAN network to all your rooms.

YMMV

Hey LG mates,

I have just bought OLED C8 and I am reading all the articles about streaming movies from PC to my smart TV, but I am not successfull at all. 

1. I have 1Gbps internet, but all of my devices are connected to Wifi. Speed tests display 100 Mbps for download and upload maximum so I suppose that the router is not the best one. I have router right behind the TV, so maybe this will not be the best place after all. Should I use LAN cable for both devices or only one of them? I have bought CAT6, but as I read that the TV supports only 100Mbps through LAN cable, I am not sure if this will help for 4K movies. 

[..]

I should use LAN on both devices. On wifi you always can get problems with neighbours of you microwaves.

Hello,

Is there any way of installing an usb gigabit network adapter on a webos smart TV?  The builtin wired adapter is only 100mbps (on a 2000$+ TV, shame  on you LG!!!)  while the wifi (N) is very poor, with the router at 1m from TV it only gets half the bandwidth of the wired network. Anyway the wired network  maxes out near 100mbps but I need more bandwidth as I have 4k video content with bitrates grater than 100mbps which I cannot stream without stuttering to TV through XPLAY/PLEX. 

Kind regards,

Plex has a Transcoder. Maybe you can use that to get the bitrates down.

I use the native PLEX app. I don't know if that makes any difference.

Strange, I have played movies from a USB stick in the TV with subtitles without problems. Also from an attached harddisk.

Maybe it works differently when using a shared disc.

Please LG dev team, FIX THIS crap, or I (and many others that want damned subtitles) will never buy your TVs again...

The LG dev team is not on this forum. This is a user to user forum (like it says on the top of the page).

I think what you need is a router with wifi that connects to your communal WiFi network. This way you can create your own local network that can not be accessed from the outside.

I don't know if you can do this with any kind of WiFi router so you have to find the right one for your needs.

Good luck,

Peter

how fast is your internet speed? Do you connect through wifi or cable? What kind of movie files do you stream? 

My internet up/downloadspeed is 100Mbit but all the computer and the LG TV are connected by wired network (100 Mbit or 1Gbit (don't really know)).

Normaly I stream 720p movies (because of the discspace) but it works without problems with a 1280p movie file. The filetypes you can stream can be found on the Plex website.

Maybe something got corrupted on your hard drive.

Or you put a file on it that is confusing your LG TV.

This is not a forum from LG, Like it said on the top of the page, it is a forum of WebOS users on TV. There are no LG employees here.

If you need to switch to Android TV buy a Android TV box. You can buy them under 50 Euro's. Problem solved.

Other solution is to use a player like Plex and the Plex app on the TV, also a solution.

That would be a waist of energy, powering a screen to listen to audio.

You could better have an audioset playing audio books.

What I needed to do is watch the very first screen when rebooting the set-top box. That was in my case the manufacturer. Everything after that is software from you provider.

Hope it helps.

You could use an other Media Server, for example Plex. It has a native app on the LG TV. Maybe that will work better.

Your problem is "vertical video syndrome" and I have not seen a TV that can do what you ask. If I read on internet it about this they say Portrait mode video is not video. So what can you do:

• Use a video editing program to rotate your video.
• It seems Plex is capable of handeling Portrait mode video. There is a native app for the LG tv for Plex
• Mount your TV on a wall and rotated it if needed.

But in general, don't make Portrait video if you every want to see it on a TV.

I would try a cable to get a better connection.

There is no problem using that on a 1 Gig service. I don't think the TV has a 1 Gb ethernet port so it automatic changes to 100 Mbits. 

I just tried fast.com on my LG tv, iIt's on a 100 Mbit connection and I get 15 Mbit/s.

First, there are no people working for LG here. This is a user to user forum as it says on the top of the page.

But maybe it is possible to configure the Logitech system to work with the LG Remote.

Normally, to get the cursor you have to shake the magic remote.

Maybe the player cannot handle the Sinhala language.

You could try to use something else. What I do is use a Plex server on my computer and use the Plex app on the LG TV. This works great.

Good luck.

I can recommend Plex. There is a native LG app for the plex player and there are plex servers for all kind of systems.

If you are using a HDMI cable like this:

then you have to select the correct HDMI input on your LG TV.

Now you will see your computerscreen on the LG TV. Your computer will determine what you see on the TV.

You can better post this request on the LG website. This is a user to user forum with no LG employees. You can see this at the top of the page:

Wait, you connect the PC via HDMI to the TV? Then your PC is creating the video and the subtitles, you should change it there.

The DLNA client in the TV works but is not great.

I use the Plex client that can be downloaded on the TV and a Plex server on my computer. This works much better.
