MLB.TV Issues with LG TV
MV Lions replied to hard2cu's topic in LG TV and LG webOS Smart TV Discussion
I can verify that two of these workaround do in fact work. 1. Set your TV input to "Live TV" before you launch MLB.TV. --or-- 2. Start streaming an MLB.TV game that you don't want to watch. Go back. Stream the game you want to watch. -

The workaround is to rely on a third-party service to stream MLB.TV. Buy a Roku streaming stick or equivalent** and use the MLB.TV app on that platform. That works for me. ** Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick and others I'm sure. -

I encourage one and all to lodge a customer service ticket with MLB.TV so as to encourage an app update as soon as possible. It's clearly a glitch with the MLB.TV app as it interacts with the LG Web OS. I have been in contact with an agent for MLB.TV and have been told that they are "escalating this (case) for further research." -

The MLB.TV app on my LG TV cannot handle a live stream of a game, but it apparently *can* play an archived game. I have twice fired up archived games and watched for several minutes with no streaming trouble. Of course, I didn't pay $100 for MLB.TV to watch prerecorded baseball. I want to watch live. -

I have the same problems you guys have with MLB.TV on my brand-new 49" LG smart TV. I am shocked that a 2016 model would have so much trouble with the ubiquitous MLB.TV app. As others have noted, Netflix and Amazon work fine. I can stream games for three or four minutes before the MLB.TV app crashes and the TV abruptly restarts. Sometimes the image freezes and stutters before it crashes. I have enough bandwidth and a high enough upload speed, based on my recent system tests. I successfully streamed one game: the Marlins-Mets game from Monday, Aug. 29. In the words of the MLB.TV troubleshooting page, I "power cycled" my router and TV beforehand and the stream worked. Subsequent efforts to power cycle—turn everything off and then back on, basically—have failed. Help.
