GuttenPodder - Add feedWhile

 by Walter Koch is the , but it's not just a simple clone of the original. It has added in some new tweaks such as new filters to view your podcasts and has fixed the podtrapper search that did not work in webos 2.x.x, but the most recent update to GuttenPodder allows you to add any local sound files--such as .MP3 or .WAV files--to your podcast lists. This is convenient for audiobooks or sound files that are not available as a podcast feed but can be downloaded elsewhere instead. All you have to do is put those sound files anywhere on the and follow the directions below

  1. Open GuttenPodder v0.9.1 or higher
  2. Tap the Add feed sign on the bottom-left of the main podcast listing screen and choose "Add local media..." from the pop-up menu
  3. On the top FILTER line, you can enter in any simple search for the titles/names of the media on your device, although the search will exclude the "/ringtones" folder. If you leave the FILTER blank, it will pull in every sound file on your device
    • It is important to note that this currently performs a case sensitive search of the titles of the media, not the filename itself. We have been told that this will be enhanced in a coming update to also allow searches of the filenames and remove the case-sensitivity.
  4. Under TITLE, you can enter an optional title for the "feed". This is what will show up on the main GuttenPodder homescreen. You can also set the icon image by manually typing in the path and filename on the ICON, although a default image will appear if you leave this blank
  5. Finally, there is an OPTIONS section you can set the sort order and also determine if you want to include any podcast file downloaded by GuttenPodder or keep the default to exclude those files.
  6. Tap the "Done" button
  7. This will take you back to the main GuttenPodder home screen. If this is the first time adding a local media feed, you should get prompted to allow GuttenPodder to access your media files. Be sure to answer YES
  8. You will notice a new "feed" has been added to the bottom of your podcast listing. It may just show a blank row with a spinning circle. Don't worry about that, and instead tap on that feed to open it up. Then tap on the refresh icon. This should refresh the feed with all the local files that were added to this feed

From here, you can listen to any of those files just as you would any other podcast. You can even add the same audio file to any number of local media feeds, not just a single one. Have you added additional files to your device after you set up the feed? Just tap the refresh button again and GuttenPodder will add in those new files.  And don't worry about deleting files from the app. Although it appears as if you can delete a file, this only marks it as read within the app; no local file will be deleted by GuttenPodder.

So there you have it? You can now use GuttenPodder as a music player, audiobook reader, or just an app to organize your media. 

is available in the webOS Nation homebrew App Catalog for free and is compatible with all webOS devices running webOS 1.4.5 or higher

      So basically I just got a new LG OLED TV (55 inch C5) and my Dad's C4 was seemingly able to display internal or embedded subtitles in TV shows through the built-in media player from external USB storage just fine with some tinkering in the menus.
      But with mine, the subtitles are displaying all of the raw text in the subtitle files in the player, not using the arguments properly at all.
      Pictures included for reference
       
      Is there any way to fix this other than literally doing subtitles for every episode externally, in a seperate file?
      These subtitles work fine when I play from the exact same storage device on my phone through VLC, and again on my Dad's LG TV

      Hi Everyone, 
      i purchase qned706a i found a great tv and picture quality its awesome i know its not like oled but for me its more than enough, but i have one issue with it.
      i got LG based on my previews experience with my brother tv its a nanocell lg from 2017, it's media player able to run all movie without any issue, i was shocked that my 2025 tv won't able to run DTS audio, i mange to add another audio track to my move as EAC3 its working perfect, but what's drive me crazy is that some video file MKV don't work at all  showing me "this file cannot be recognised. and its working on the 2017 model without issue ! why is that DTS have some license issue ok but i don't call a video file have license too the video track shows HEVC (H265 Main 10 @L5.1), i try same video on samsung tv and it work on it i don't know why lg don't support it !
      finally i try check other media player app and it seem lg don't support such app, and i read about Kodi app and i try it on dev mode but i didn't like it and the experience wasn't perfect i have some greenish pixel, but it was able to run the video and even run file with DTS audio, which take me to my final question.
      if Kodi manage to run the video and audio fine, why LG media player didn't, and if its about license why they not allowed 3rd party app like VLC to publish their software !!
      i hope LG focus on user experience and not nonsense AI that no one will use.

      Kinetic OLED Installation Showcases Company’s Vision for
      the Future of Immersive Display Technology

      SEOUL, Oct. 28, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) reaffirmed its leadership in OLED innovation with a breathtaking installation at APEC 2025 in Gyeongju, South Korea. LG showcased a kinetic media chandelier composed of 28 transparent 77-inch LG SIGNATURE OLED T TVs, mesmerizing global leaders and delegates from around the Asia-Pacific region.
      First unveiled at CES 2025, the OLED chandelier returns to APEC 2025 with the pinnacle of visual storytelling made possible with transparent LG OLED TVs. The installation features the world’s first transparent and true wireless OLED TVs created into a technological splendor that is designed to be appreciated from every angle. Each panel gracefully moves – opening and closing like the petals of a kinetic sculpture – revealing LG OLED’s hallmark features of perfect black, vivid colors and slim design. In sync with hanging lights, the screens transition fluidly between transparent and opaque modes, transforming the atmosphere with immersive visual sequences: interstellar showers, drifting clouds, underwater landscapes and stained-glass finales.
      Powered by LG’s True Wireless technology, the chandelier eliminates visible cables and delivers flawless 4K transmission without latency, blurring the line between display and artistic visualization.
      The LG SIGNATURE OLED T demonstrates the versatility of OLED technology in immersive environments and reflects LG’s broader vision for OLED – transforming displays into premium, form-factor-free solutions that seamlessly integrate into everyday spaces. Also redefining home entertainment, the product has been recognized with major international design honors – including Red Dot, iF and IDEA Awards – and was recently named Best of IFA and Best in Home Entertainment at IFA 2025, affirming its global acclaim.
      APEC 2025 brings together leaders and innovators from 21 Asia-Pacific economies to foster inclusive growth and innovation. LG’s presence at this influential summit highlights its commitment to shaping the future of display technology and driving meaningful progress across industries.

      The LG WebOS Plex App will not start without internet access even though the App is used to access local Media from a Plex Sever on the local network.  Samsung, Roku, AppleTV Plex Apps ALL work on the local network playing local Media even if internet access is not available.  This is a dealbreaker. I will NOT purchase anymore LG TV’s unless this issue is corrected.    The app simply states that “Internet is Not Accessible” and will not continue to load.  I don’t care if the internet is not available.  My local network IS available and is all that is needed.

      Despite living in a world more connected than ever before, many people paradoxically feel a deeper sense of disconnection. As part of its ongoing efforts to understand that true fulfillment comes from genuine connections and reflecting LG’s commitment to expand “Life’s Good” in digital spaces, LG Electronics conducted a global survey to explore the state of connection in the digital age. The findings offer timely insight into the emotional disconnect often hidden behind the screens we interact with every day.

      Conducted across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, India and Canada, the survey gathered responses from 5,000 individuals between the ages of 18 and 45. It revealed that 68 percent of people find it more difficult to form real friendships and meaningful connections in today’s social media-driven world. The most common barriers include a lack of time, practical distance, and the fear of awkwardness—pointing to deeper issues beneath the surface of digital engagement.

       Perhaps more concerning, 62 percent of participants reported spending more time online every week than engaging in deep, meaningful interactions with people. Furthermore, one in three respondents said they had experienced a meaningful connection only once or not at all in the past month.
      And yet, the desire for more remains clear: 82 percent said they believe their lives would benefit from more meaningful connections, and 86 percent agreed such relationships help them view life more optimistically.

       To counteract the disconnection often felt in an era dominated by superficial interactions, such as likes and comments on social media, LG launched “Radio Optimism,” a new brand campaign designed to spark genuine connection through the power of music. Inspired by the storytelling spirit of traditional radio, the campaign invites people to create one-of-a-kind AI-generated songs and share them with someone special. In doing so, LG is helping to turn digital interactions into heartfelt moments that build bridges instead of barriers.

      The campaign reflects LG’s enduring brand promise—Life’s Good—and its belief that technology should serve not just our convenience, but our emotional well-being. In a time when many are scrolling past what really matters, LG is encouraging people to pause, reflect and reconnect.
      The campaign website is available in English and Spanish, with plans to support additional languages to enable broader participation. The official campaign website can be found at
