Is it just me or is the plex app just unusable on webos. When I try to select dvr items with the magic remote they just don’t play. I am not sure if this is a plex issue or an lg webos issue. Anyone know which it is?

I would like to play MP4 video file from my NAS, is this possible from LG Smart TV? I tried on the TV and did not see how I could do this, I also did not see any App that could help me in this area.
My LG TV is connected to my home network so has direct access to my NAS.

I’ve submitted my app in October of last year, it has been reviewed only twice, for issues of LG testing systems I’ve been requested to resubmit the app and every time weeks of waiting.
Is anybody else having similar issues?

Question

As a former Apple Developer I have very clear ideas on what is needed to have a clean and efficient Home Media Theater.
The WebOs porting on LG TV's is brilliant, yet it has to develop it's full potential.
As a worklist, maybe while waiting to become a devoleper myself, I write down first the basic needs for the final user who has a collection of movies/tv shows/personal videos sotred on a home network, either on NAS or on shares on various computers.
- Organization of Media: the initial intuition of the DLNA protocol is still valid: Video, Photo and Audio are three distinct starting point. Either via DLNA or SMB or other protocols users should be allowed to browse they're media collection elegantly, either readings text list, or with thumbnails. Folder structure should be easy to access.
- For Video: Audio selection; one very basic and yet difficult to manage thing is the ability to choose and change on the fly the audio track in a movie
- For Video: Subtitle selection: as above
The actual SmartShare fails in every single step of this basic list: it does not allow you to choose display mode (list, thumbnails, maetadata, etc), it does not allow you to change audio (it works on USB, not on shares) and it does not allow you to show subtitles, not even the embedded ones.
I know there are fierce limitations in the DLNA protocol but.......
The final user experience in the Era of XBMC Gotham cannot be such as proposed today on LG top tv's.......
Do you need a hand in developing smart share? Any plan to upgrade it? Any plan to develop a non-DLNA client, maybe a SMB client or a PLEX client?
Why not get in touch with XBMC community? It could save years.......

I know this will probably get buried but ive just started writing a replacement for Smartshare, because i really hate the UI and the whole user expreience in general. I was planning on implementing SM
