All 3 will be using the same "on/off" codes, as they are all LG. Even if out of IR (Infra Red) range, the controls use a BlueTooth interface as well, which will often reach 10 - 20 metres.

You might find that the Bluetooth parts of the remote have stopped working, because the combined WiFi/Bluetooth card in the TV has failed. Storms and power-cuts and excessive static are notorious for killing sensitive electronic parts inside appliances, because surges can short/open sensitive low voltage logic-gates. Mine has done that, and the main controls on the remote work via the IR beam, but NOT more complex stuff like microphone/voice controls, or sound and some others. I am lucky enough to have the "LG TV PLUS" app on my phone, that does all I need via the network. I THINK the WiFi part is still working, but I use a direct LAN comms cable to the TV, so it does NOT need WiFi anyway. You CAN get that little internal card online (EBAY etc.), it just plugs into the main board via a small cable.

I assume it is an older LCD TV? You did not mention the type or model number. This can often be cause by a failed/failing backlight. Backlight Issues A problem with the LED backlight or LED strips can sometimes cause colour problems. If the phosphors on the LED lights flakes off, it can change the white light to a blue tint. TO CHECK: Perform a flashlight test (shine a flashlight at the screen while it’s on) to check if the backlight is the cause. If the image is dim, the backlight probably need replacing.

It is NOT associated with LG, and has no direct communication with LG, it is only for enthusiasts to help each other with suggestions, and to share ideas about settings and technical workarounds etc. You really need to contact the ETV app developers, as even LG will not do anything unless they have an LG compatible app to use.

Sound like the same garbage that Sky Broadband Shield have been doing, on their routers. It also was blocking Teams (Skype Replacement) on a relatives laptop, Best to disable that if your sky router has it active.

@offoak If you read the site headline, you will see it says "User to user forum". It has NO direct connection OR influence over what LG supports or not, or develops or not. You will have to pressure LG directly, in your country, or use some sort of USB device with the APP on it.

Please quote model number and firmware level, and if it is connected via an AVR and set-top-box, and if using eARC. Model numbers of those might help narrow down the issue, plus what is the HDMI connection order between devices.

Does your AVR/Amp not have HDMI? If so connect it to/from the eARC socket on TV. Use external sound only on TV sound settings.

I cannot believe that since eARC was released in 2017, 8 years later we are STILL seeing posts like this. The standards have been in place long enough to get the TV and AVR companies to get their collective heads together, and ensure that their firmware (and HDMI Chip-sets) work seamlessly together, and that design AND coding standards are FULLY adhered to. I would also have thought that 8 years is enough time to iron out any timing and race conditions in the firmware. Any hassles like these only serve to deter customers from buying any TV and AVR products that do not work well. I have seen other posts about firmware updates actually CAUSING issues like this, rather than properly fixing bugs. Not just LG of course, but you would think that the bigger players would put more effort into testing with more varied configurations before releasing new firmware. It cannot be a profit excuse, as LG made KRW 3.42 Trillion (about 2.5T USD) in 2024!

Where was it stored, and what were the minimum and maximum temperatures there? The reason I ask, is that electronic components have a maximum storage temperature, as well as a min and max operating temperature. There will be NO MIL SPEC components in a domestic device, so some degradation may have occurred, or even static damage (ESD) from a nearby storm.

@wallyricks You may be correct that a Windows Update has made this start to occur. Both Windows 10 and 11 have been beefing up security a lot recently, to stop bad/buggy executables and apps from compromising the system. It is possible that the LG SmartShare program has "got away with it" for some time, and as you say, best to choose a better, more up-to-date app.

FYI: the error code 0XC0000374 is a HEAP CORRUPTION in the program you are running, in this case the LG SmartShare program. The error is picked up by the OS Kernel (the NT Kernel internals part that looks after bad memory allocations, de-allocations, and buffer overflows, and invalid pointers). Basically it is a bug in the LG SmartShare program, and when it crashes, it most likely reverts to default settings, that turns the sharing off. You will need to report it direct to LG, this site is ONLY a user to user forum If you want an in-depth read, check this out: https://www.twingate.com/blog/glossary/heap corruption

To ALL users who think they are posting to the manufacturer LG.... YOU ARE NOT! If you look properly at the site Banner/Logo, beneath LG WebOS, is states "Use to User support forum". It is NOT run by, or controlled by LG, and probably rarely monitored by LG either!
