  1. Yeah, the magic remote pointer doesn't work with Disney+... you have to use the up/down/left/right/center compass style buttons on the remote to select from on-screen virtual keyboard. If you get in, the pointer doesn't work in there either; use the same remote keys to get around. The LG Disney+ app not ready for prime-time. Hopefully there will be inclusion of "Continue Watching" and "Resume" because if you back out of watching something, there's no way to continue where you left off. Netflix on LG does this well. If you find the title you were watching, it always starts from the beginning. At least the fast forward can get fast using multiple pushes, but again Netflix with the magic remote is a better navigational experience. Disney+ has pretty good subtitle support... better than Netflix (';') - Disney, make a 150% and loose the 50%... 100% looks like 50% (Added: on my TV) Sorry OP if this isn't an answer applicable to you. -Kele UPDATE 11/20/19: Disney+ added "Resume" and if you check the "+", that checked program(s) appears in the main menu "Watchlist", so that can be considered a Continue Watching" option (clean, I might like Disney's way better being slightly hidden compared to Netflix' Continue Watching rendition); my bad for not seeing it that way sooner. Not having a Resume was almost a deal breaker for me so implementing this is great! Interesting that there was no update to the LG Disney+ app to make this overnight change. This makes me think the app is like a browser and the contents a website (pages). There still remains the subtitle font size options that haven't changed yet... I was thinking that the font size choices may have to do with screen resolution - the programmers monitor and our TV resolution (3840 pixels × 2160 lines) would need to agree for the programmers to gauge font size options? Main thing, there's no good subtitle font size on my TV, but I went with 200% because 100% is puny (too much reading concentration needed) and 50% isn't really an option on this TV... and I view kinda close. A most important shortfall remains and that is the stereo only audio issue discribed via the link below: -Kele
  2. Ref: Disney+ audio in stereo only on LG OLEDs… fiber optic from TV to surround processor receives stereo only using LG Store’s Disney+ app. I have Netflix and it shares the same signal path to my surround processor and does receive 5.1 channel surround (both DTS and Dolby Digital) from Netflix; that rules out that I’m not capable of receiving multi-channel. I know I cannot get DTS-MA nor TrueHD +Atmos due to limitations of the fiber optic (Toslink) connection, but Core DTS and AC3 (TrueHD’s Core) is much better than stereo matrixed to pseudo surround (Pro-logic). We are asking that LG’s Disney+ app be revised to allow full surround sound from the LG Smart TV’s optical port (as Netflix, Plex does; re: those I’ve tried). Note that youTube outputs only stereo via LG TV’s optical port as well… incase Disney+/LG is using youTube as a model. I should not have to output audio via HDMI from TV to surround processor; if LG’s TV did not have a digital out (fiber-optic or coaxial) other than HDMI, I would not have this TV. When the LG TV Disney+ application is reworked (priority soon we hope), ensure the optical TV port is included (along with HDMI ARC) with full discrete 5.1 surround solution. I am contemplating cancelling the Disney+ subscription (still in trial period) which is a shame because the visuals are excellent; but the audio is no better than FM radio. -Kele
