I am building the sample application from LG documentation which is here:
link hidden, please login to view

 

I can build it and run it inside the browser and the emulator and now I like to push it on a real LG TV. Here are few things I did:

 

# Create a tv2 device

ares-setup-device --add tv2 -i "username=root" -i "host=172.28.75.74" -i "port=22"

 

# Check which devices are listed with ares tools

ares-setup-device --list

<DEVICE NAME>    <PLATFORM>       <FILE STREAM>    <DESCRIPTION>            <SSH ADDRESS>

tv2              starfish         stream           new device description   (ssh://[email protected]:22)

emulator         starfish         sftp             LG webOS TV Emulator     (ssh://[email protected]:6622)

 

# Try to install the app on the TV

ares-install --device tv2 com.rn.app.remotekeyssample_1.0.0_all.ipk

 

# Gettings this error.

ares-install ERR! ares-install: Error: Connection time out. please check the device IP address or port.

 

Questions:

- Can I use a regular LG TV to install apps on it?

- If yes what should I do to connect to my TV? Any settings or command I need to do?

 

Thank you

One question regarding your expierence with this:

 

On the "App Test" documentation page it seems that this test won't install the app persistently on the device, that is the app does not stay after removing the USB stick.

 

Is the case or is it a real installation leaving the app on device after removal of the USB stick?

I have been deploying apps to a webOS TV for months now. Its very hit and miss. I always follow the advice here

link hidden, please login to view
as per micolet's post. However, I am only successful 20 percent of the time. 

 

I have tried the following:

 

1) Turning developer mode off and on again in the Developer Mode app

2) Blowing away all my ssh keys for previous LG apps

3) Removing and re-adding devices using ares-setup-device

4) trying port 22 as per some posts on this subject

 

The key is acquired correctly using ares-novacom --device EDNEW --getkey. I know this because any error with the ip would cause an error at this stage. The result of this command is a silent return to the prompt.

 

However, trying to list apps on the device throws an error, ares-install --device EDNEW --list returns this: ares-install: Error: Please check the device IP address or port.

 

Sometimes i can make the connection, but most of the time it fails and I cant see any pattern. 

 

If anybody can shed some light on this I will be extremely grateful, its a tiresome blocker for me.

      LG 49UB850V LED TV Easy Way to Update or Install Network Browser
      By forum1
      My LG 49UB850V LED TV  browser is too old. The most of the pages not work any more. How to easy update just one simple browser app? For example, often browser show error during open new page. It show certificate expire problem and page not load at all.
      This mean LG sell product without update at least browser certificate and now we are stuck and can not even load one page from WWW. 
       
      Shame on you LG. I will not buy any more from you.  How dificolt is to release new update to update OS certificates? Microsoft Windows did this, android did also for old phones, etc... Really, can not undestend this asian people from Korea.

      PC/Mac application to manage USB file with programmes info
      By Jonatan de la Torre Gómez
      Hi,
      maybe this is an off topic but I guess it would be very useful to have a software capable to manage GlobalClone00001.TLL file with is created when you save your programmes to an USB stick inside the tune menu.
      It could make all the operations needed such as add (manually)/delete, add to favorites, sort by channel/frequency/name/etc..., multiple select and move (with a mouse click), rename (customize names), delete or move (show and hide) radio channels.
      All these operations would be much easier with a graphic computer software.

      This is  a block of GlobalClone00001.TLL file with all the info that could be customized:
      <ITEM> <prNum>2</prNum> <minorNum>0</minorNum> <original_network_id>8916</original_network_id> <transport_id>40000</transport_id> <network_id>12549</network_id> <service_id>40003</service_id> <physicalNum>21</physicalNum> <sourceIndex>1</sourceIndex> <serviceType>31</serviceType> <special_data>2198019169</special_data> <frequency>474000</frequency> <nitVersion>2</nitVersion> <mapType>1</mapType> <mapAttr>0</mapAttr> <isInvisable>0</isInvisable> <isBlocked>0</isBlocked> <isSkipped>0</isSkipped> <isNumUnSel>0</isNumUnSel> <isDeleted>0</isDeleted> <chNameByte>0</chNameByte> <isDisabled>0</isDisabled> <hexVchName>4c61203120554844</hexVchName> <notConvertedLengthOfVchName>8</notConvertedLengthOfVchName> <vchName>La 1 UHD</vchName> <lengthOfVchName>8</lengthOfVchName> <hSettingIDHandle>0</hSettingIDHandle> <usSatelliteHandle>0</usSatelliteHandle> <isUserSelCHNo>0</isUserSelCHNo> <logoIndex>36</logoIndex> <videoStreamType>0</videoStreamType> </ITEM>
