Unable to play FLAC files from PC server


Question

Posted

I am unable to play or see any FLAC files from my PC connected in my home network. The Music application does not see at all any FLAC files in the server folders (runnning Windows 10 Pro)., MP3 works fine. Putting FLAC files on an external USB device (like an USB stic) works, but not network sharing. Any suggestions?

Model: 43UJ750V Software: 03.60.15 (last version).

I have the same problem on my new LG OLED 65C7V model:

I am unable to play or see any FLAC files from my PC connected in my home network (I have tried changing the extension name with FLA ect. and always same problem).

The Music application does not see at all any FLAC files in the DLNA  server folders (I have oneserver  Windows 10 and another server ASUS RT-AC68U, always same problem).

MP3 and M4A  works fine. Putting FLAC files on an external USB device (like an USB stick) works, but never via DLNA network sharing. Any suggestions?

Model: OLED65C7V Software webOS: 04.70.30 (last version).

Same here (I do realise though, that flac is not listed in the specs; would however be great to have it; possibly not implemented for licensing reasons)

      I am using the lg tv from 2 years and I found an amazing experience till now.
      But I like request about Play box TV app. Please add this app in store section so that I could download it on my tv. 
      It would be helpful if you respond to my email. This app is very demanding now a days as it comes with the excitel broadband service.

      I know this was mentioned before. I'd like to support this.
      WebOS is such a great and versatile system; a real media centre. BUT: I have a number of video files that it simply doesn't play. VLC, e.g. does, but is not available. 
      To me it is such a pity that I have to have a system in parallel (actually a PC!) to play those files, with VLC, and then switch to HDMI to watch the clips on my TV. This doesn't look very much like 2026, as far as I am concerned.
      To give an example, in which nothing is spectacular, and yet it doesn't play:

      Better yet: add something like VLC or at least Dragon. Make it available; even if the warranty was void, I'd prefer to load such an application.
      Thanks for pondering!

      If I play an MKV video from a USB drive that contains multiple subtitle tracks with correct language tags, will webOS automatically select the appropriate subtitles, for example based on the TV interface language or the country where the TV is being used? Or it will just select first one/makred as fefault?

      Hi there,
       
      I have an LG smart TV OLED65G36LA (LG OS v03.20.17, webOS TV version 8.20.0-710) , and the Prime Video App was no longer able to update (from Dec 2025) and therefore could no longer be used.
      I have tried uninstalling the app and re-installing, and that was unable to work, so then applied a full reset on the LG TV and so had to reinstall all of my other apps (Apple TV, Netflix, etc etc) which all successfully downloaded so confirmed network connections and setup are all confirmed working.
      When I try to download the Prime Video app, it remains stuck on the download screen and is unable to update.
      Thanks

      So i have a brand new OLED 65inch, the Sky now APP installed on the tv wont play the UHD content from sky, I do have the right subscription and when i use a amazon fire stick with the Now app installed it will play UHD Content, i just cant figure out why the tv installed app wont play it.  The Tv will play UDH content from other apps installed on the TV so i know its capable just something between the TV and Now app wont allow UHD Content, any ideas???
