This seems to be a windows or server based product also.   I guess a File Manager on WebOS on the LG tv would be a first start to find the video and then launch it?   I used the Web Browser to get to my https://primarysixterabyte/  NAS storage server on my network and that seemed to work.  

Then I launched the videos and really not sure WHO ended up displaying/playing them.....but it worked.  Pretty clunky going up and down folders and hierarchy with the clicking of "keyboard" and finger pointing the cursor......but its working?

Still looking for a LG APP Player like VLC for WebOS or maybe MediaMonkey for WebOS......... 

yeah I was that desperate for an answer to this simple question.......but it was a dead end and really more about playing paid content.

Still searching.

I do as well.  I don't want to run W10 servers or Linux or do this anywhere but play on the LG TV from the LG TV.  I have  12 TB of NAS storage in folders by media type and by month, year, decade, and century.  (about 125,000 pictures scanned and digital) and about 1/2 the content is video movies and some instructional stuff.  I want to access the NAS folders (PLEX or the version I have does not seem to do this intuitively or its too cryptic for me to figure out)  

 

As another mentioned VLC would seem to work but we need a WebOS version and I don't see or can find one.  One shodl be able to just Open a file on the NAS box and load it and play.....just like VLC does on W10 and even Android.  etc. 

 

Three items.  1) Content on NAS file system, 2) LG TV on the network with WebOS, 3) the missing link or software video player?

 

 

more searching and I am diving into this quagmire of information and stuff.....  https://www.webosnation.com/best-webos-movie-and-video-apps
