Is there any alternative to integrated player?

 

Which use it is unintuitive and work slow

 

Well, it is not "bad" as it is more "sensitive." It's not VLC, that's for sure. It likes h.264/h.265 of the MP4 variety and it is particular about the audio stream it can handle. This isn't a surprise as many blu-ray players, smart Tv's, streaming boxes, etc have players that will only handle a handful of file types well. This has everything to do with the speed of the processor they have to work with and the software they are running. The good news is that any device that is certified to handle HEVC (h.265) well, can most certainly have a better player. I have not come across any official players for WebOS for LG yet. Thankfully, the SDK for WebOS is out there... let us hope (and pray.)

      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.

      “One LG” Strategy Delivers End-to-End Data Center Solutions Across
      Cooling, Energy and Operations

      SEOUL, Oct. 9, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), together with LG CNS and LG Energy Solution, is presenting its comprehensive portfolio of advanced data center technologies at Data Center World Asia (DCWA) 2025 in Singapore (October 8-9). Unified under the “One LG Solution” strategy, the three LG Group affiliates are collaborating to offer a complete lineup of products and services for next-generation AI data centers – covering thermal management, data center design and energy solutions.
      One LG: Integrated Solutions for the Future of AI Data Centers
      Created to meet growing global demand for AI infrastructure, One LG Solution positions LG as the first-choice strategic partner for data center operators seeking efficiency, scalability and sustainability. The approach combines LG’s cutting-edge cooling technologies, LG CNS’s expertise in data center design, construction and operations and LG Energy Solution’s battery systems into a single cohesive offering for high-performance data processing facilities.
      LG’s thermal management portfolio for large-scale, AI-focused data centers includes large-capacity chillers, direct-to-chip (DTC) cooling systems and computer room air handlers (CRAHs). Solutions such as the Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) and Cold Plate are designed to provide precise temperature regulation for next-generation CPUs and GPUs, supporting stable and energy-efficient performance.
      Enhanced by LG’s Data Center Cooling Management System and Digital Twin technologies, these solutions aim to support optimized operation and predictive maintenance. At DCWA, visitors can explore LG’s cooling innovations and experience augmented reality (AR) demonstrations showcasing the test-bed capabilities of LG’s facility in Pyeongtaek.
      LG CNS, a leading AX (AI transformation) company in Korea, is spearheading the design, construction and management of next-generation AI data centers. Through its joint venture with Indonesia’s Sinar Mas Group, LG Sinarmas Technology Solutions, the company recently secured a major AI data center construction contract, which includes the deployment of LG’s inverter turbo chillers and other dedicated cooling systems. To accelerate its AI data center business, LG CNS is conducting proof-of-concept testing on immersion cooling, an advanced cooling technology, and has secured the “AI Box” (tentative name), a solution that consolidates all data center operational components into a container-sized unit.
      Leveraging its patented battery technologies, LG Energy Solution provides uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems designed to maintain continuous and reliable energy availability. These systems offer robust support for data centers in managing operational stability amid increasing AI workloads and fluctuating energy demand.
      Bringing together the strengths and expertise of all three companies, One LG Solution’s integrated platform empowers global data centers to achieve operational resilience, energy efficiency and scalability.
      LG’s Thermal and Energy Solutions for Next-Generation Data Centers
      The One LG Solution showcase at DCWA 2025 underscores LG’s leadership in thermal management solutions engineered for data center environments. The LG CDU, equipped with a high-efficiency inverter pump, provides scalability and considerable installation flexibility through its compact, modular design. The Cold Plate liquid cooling system, featuring advanced DTC technology, is designed to directly manage the high thermal loads of advanced chips in data center servers.
      Complementing these solutions, LG’s water-cooled chiller incorporates a magnetic bearing controller and oil-free centrifugal compressors, contributing to improved reliability and reduced energy consumption. The CRAH solution further enhances operational stability by reducing electricity usage and managing airflow effectively.
      LG’s innovative direct current (DC) grid solution minimizes energy loss in data center operations. While traditional alternating current (AC) conversion can result in around 25 percent heat loss, LG’s DC grid reduces this to approximately 10 percent by enabling chillers to operate directly on DC power. Combined with high-efficiency inverter pumps and heat exchangers, the DC grid significantly improves power efficiency and contributes to lowering total operating costs.
      “One LG Solution is ready to reshape the global data center landscape with future-ready solutions from LG Electronics, LG CNS and LG Energy Solution,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “With our leading thermal management systems, intelligent operation capabilities and resilient power solutions, we can supply data center operators with everything they need to scale efficiently in the AI era.”

      App loading but when I select a program no picture or distorted pic. Any suggestions to fix
    • By wallyricks
      I have owned a couple of LG TV’s over the last 8 years, with the current one being a high-end 77” model.
      I am still using LG TV SmartShare (v.33) as my “Media Player” v2.3.1511.1201 for my PC– which was last updated in 2015 but it is still compatible today.  As proof, my latest TV is now 11 months old and I have had zero issue (until you see below).    
      link hidden, please login to view My PC setup is: Windows 10 Pro (with all latest updates) and a TP-Link Archer BE19000 (BE805) router.    NOTHING has been changed on my router, TV (no updated or changed firmware) or any equipment moved around in the last 4 months.
      Up until about 3 weeks ago, everything ran just fine.  The SmartShare program was always defaulted to have Sharing ON, upon start of it, which is always when Windows boots).  However, about 3 weeks ago, the SmartShare PC program has started to randomly change its status to Sharing OFF.  I would then have to go into the program, manually change it to ON and then it works anywhere for 30 minutes up to 20 hours, and again, randomly change the Sharing to OFF.
      I am an experienced PC user, and I am very sure that this has nothing to do with my WIFI because it’s not a dropped connection or random TV not being found.   Something is happening inside Windows 10 that is triggering this status change.  And it never fluctuates back to Sharing ON by itself.
      Being so frustrated, I actually updated the Router to the latest firmware a few days ago, but this problem continues as before.
      As an experiment, I installed an alternate Media Server program called Serviio.  One can also see that when my Sharing changes to OFF, the two green lights turn red.
      Anyone have an idea of what can be happening after nearly 8 years of not experiencing this?       I am guessing that Windows is triggering some “Service” to stop running, but what can it be?
