I'm told that OneFootball has an app that's available on LG WebOS. Can someone tell me how to find it? I went to 'LG Channels' and did a search, but that search seems to be for programs, not channels. I went to the Sports category and didn't find it either. Thanks.

I'm urgently looking for a way to watch video files that are accessible via different SMB-shares - I was able to do that with external devices like WD-TV-HD Media Player or a raspberry pie - and I thought that I will not need that any more with my new LG OLED - I can webOS or which APP I need to install on the TV to do that
I was expecting to see accessible SMB shares - where I can enter or even store user/pw - besides the Sticks/HDDs attached to the USB port
In the Internet I just found solutions by hacking / manipulating webOS - I cannot believe that this is the correct/only way to achieve that...
TIA,
Chi

On Show at IFA 2025, Company’s AI Platform Integrates ThinQ UP and ThinQ Care
Services to Deliver Continuous Upgrades and Proactive Maintenance
SEOUL, Sep. 1, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is ushering in a new era in the European smart home appliance market with the introduction of its groundbreaking AI platform, LG ThinQ AI. Taking center stage at the company’s IFA 2025 exhibit, LG ThinQ AI integrates the ThinQ UP and ThinQ Care services to provide a personalized, ever-evolving customer experience along with proactive appliance management. This innovative platform advances LG’s core product technologies through AI and usage data analysis, optimizing the product experience and enhancing customers’ overall quality of life. LG will begin rolling out ThinQ AI in key European markets throughout September.
With AI-powered features such as continuous, tailored upgrades and intelligent performance optimization based on user behavior, LG ThinQ AI redefines home living, elevates the overall smart appliance experience and reinforces LG’s leadership in the European AI home solutions market.
A core element of the platform, ThinQ UP enables compatible appliances to acquire new features via software updates, ensuring they remain up-to-date and relevant to customers’ ever-changing lifestyles. Complementing this, ThinQ Care provides proactive support that predicts potential malfunctions or issues before they occur. Drawing on extensive usage data, its smart diagnostics detect even minor issues and guide customers through simple solutions, boosting product reliability and peace of mind.
ThinQ AI also reflects the priorities of Europe’s discerning, eco-conscious consumers, with a focus on energy efficiency and ease of use. For washing machines, Energy Saving Mode helps lower household energy consumption, while refrigerators benefit from AI Saving Mode, which intelligently reduces power use. Convenience-driven features include Fresh Keeper, which prevents clothes left in the washer from wrinkling or smelling, and the tub clean reminder to maintain hygiene. Refrigerator functions include Night View, which adjusts display brightness at night, and the Smart Fill system, allowing the water dispenser to deliver precisely pours. Users can even reconfigure the built-in ice dispenser to serve as an additional water dispenser, providing greater flexibility.
Moving forward, LG plans to deliver a steady flow of region-specific ThinQ UP features inspired by customer feedback. Through the Share Your Ideas function in the ThinQ app, users can propose new features that may be developed into real updates. Following the European rollout this month, LG will gradually expand ThinQ UP service availability worldwide throughout the rest of the year.
At IFA 2025, LG will showcase a diverse range of appliances enhanced with ThinQ AI and tailored for European consumers. Harmonious and differentiated smart home lifestyle scenes will demonstrate how the company’s latest innovations seamlessly elevate everyday living. Visitors can engage with an interactive demo app to explore how ThinQ UP lets customers continuously upgrade their LG appliances. LG AI HOME zone presents the company’s Zero Labor Home, where ThinQ AI recognizes user’s voice and activates personalized appliance settings to provide a highly personalized home experience.
“Our innovative ThinQ AI platform offers differentiated convenience and efficiency through continuous upgrades and intelligent, proactive care,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We are committed to creating an AI home experience that evolves in step with the unique needs of every customer.”
ThinQ AI and an array of innovative home appliance solutions will be on show at LG’s IFA 2025 exhibition booth (Hall 18, Messe Berlin) in Berlin, Germany, from September 5-9.

LG is constantly working to make everyday life more convenient, comfortable and connected. At the heart of this effort is LG ThinQ, our AI-powered platform that connects and controls smart appliances using the latest in AI and IoT technology. With the ThinQ app, managing and upgrading your home appliances has never been easier – all from your smartphone, no matter where you are.
ThinQ is all about personalized experiences. It learns from how you use your appliances and adapts to your lifestyle, helping you enjoy a more seamless, connected home. Built into LG’s home appliance lineups worldwide, ThinQ has taken a major leap forward with the introduction of ThinQ UP – a service designed to evolve your appliances long after you bring them home.
Launched in 2022, ThinQ UP introduced one of the world’s first truly upgradeable home solutions. That means you can add new features to your existing LG products by simply downloading updates through the ThinQ app. Whether it’s enhancing performance, solving a minor frustration or meeting a new need, ThinQ UP makes it easy to customize your appliances as your life changes.
ThinQ UP is now available across more product categories and has expanded its reach globally. In North America, this year’s expansion led to a 150 percent increase in sales compared to 2024. Globally, ThinQ UP features have been downloaded over 20 million times, and the number of appliances connected to the ThinQ app has grown by about 40 percent, showing just how popular this innovation has become.
What really sets ThinQ UP apart is how it’s shaped by you, our customers. Through the “Share Your Ideas” feature in the app, users can suggest new upgrade ideas. So far, we have reviewed more than 30,000 suggestions, with over 100 of them becoming real downloadable features. One example is the “Welcome Light On/Off” function, which lets you control your refrigerator’s door light – a response to users who found the auto-on light a bit too bright at night or unnecessary during the day.
ThinQ UP also adapts to local needs. In the U.S., for example, the “Auto Time Sync” feature for ovens automatically updates the clock for daylight savings time – a simple change, but one that over 57 percent of U.S. ThinQ users have already downloaded and appreciated.
Looking ahead, LG plans to roll out ThinQ UP to even more markets, starting with Europe and expanding to Asia and Latin America. The goal is simple: bring smarter, more personalized living to more homes around the world.
At LG, we believe innovation works best when it’s shaped by real people and real lives. With your feedback and our AI-powered technology, ThinQ UP will keep evolving – making your home smarter, more adaptable and more in tune with your life.
