Remote not controlling streaming device


Question

Posted

I have several LG Webos TVs.  One started doing this a long while back.  Just this week another started doing the same. They have streaming devices on hdmi ports.  To change channels and general navigation i could always use the up down left right buttons.  But now I get the he hdmi port with the multi audio icon below.  Something has to have been toggled to make this happen.  Factory reset doesn’t fix it.  How do I access my streaming device from my lg remote again?

Managed to figure this out myself.  On the tv with the fire stick it was likely related to who.what.where service on the LG.  Disabled that and turns HDMI-CEC off and back on and it started working.  Did the same in the one with the TiVo Stream 4k but also had to turn CEC off and on within the streaming sticks settings as well.  All is functional again😀👍

      I have to unplug & press the power button about twice/week in order to stream youtube. The app is up to date. Anyone know the cause or fix? Thanks.

      Add the option to turn off mouse acceleration. I think I would fins it much easier to aim the pointer if I could disable it. I always disable it on computers. You can just add it next to the pointer speed setting under General > System > Additional Settings > Pointer Options
       
      Two other settings I think would make sense to have would be a setting to disable the shake-remote-to-show-pointer feature. Although I like it I can sometimes find it annoying, so why not let the users decide. I always hate it when there aren't settings for things like these.
      The other setting would be to disable the pointer completely as many users have written that they want to disable it.

      Last week a LG service person visited our home. After resetting our new LG TV, he went to his van and returned with a large remote controller. We asked what it was for and he told us it was to access settings that the standard controllers could not do. But would not tell us what it did.
      Do you know what it can do?
