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:
Format : AVI Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave Format settings : BitmapInfoHeader / WaveFormatEx File size : 360 MiB Duration : 51 min 6 s Overall bit rate : 986 kb/s Frame rate : 23.976 FPS Writing application : VirtualDubMod 1.5.4.1 (build 2178/release) Writing library : VirtualDub build 24259/release Video ID : 0 Format : MPEG-4 Visual Format profile : Advanced Simple@L5 Format settings : BVOP1 Format settings, BVOP : 1 Format settings, QPel : No Format settings, GMC : No warppoints Format settings, Matrix : Default (H.263) Muxing mode : Packed bitstream Codec ID : XVID Codec ID/Hint : XviD Duration : 51 min 6 s Bit rate : 752 kb/s Width : 512 pixels Height : 384 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4:3 Frame rate : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.160 Stream size : 275 MiB (76%) Writing library : XviD 1.1.0 (2005-11-22) Audio ID : 1 Format : AC-3 Format/Info : Audio Coding 3 Commercial name : Dolby Digital Codec ID : 2000 Duration : 51 min 6 s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 224 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel layout : L R Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 31.250 FPS (1536 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Delay relative to video : 23 ms Stream size : 81.9 MiB (23%) Alignment : Split across interleaves Interleave, duration : 42 ms (1.00 video frame) Interleave, preload duration : 500 ms Service kind : Complete Main Dialog Normalization : -27 dB compr : 0.53 dB dynrng : 0.53 dB dialnorm_Average : -27 dB dialnorm_Minimum : -27 dB dialnorm_Maximum : -27 dB Please, add-on to media player whatever is necessary to play such files!
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?

I have an LG OLED TV 2024, and the remote does not have a FAV button. I have saved some favorite OTA channels through the Channel Manager, but I don't know how to access them without a FAV button. Can someone help me with this?

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

Question
Guest
I have an oled55c7V and a storage device on the same wireless network. The storage has lots of music and photos. The TV can access the device and see the data on it. It seems to deal with photo albums fine. However it doesn't present the music information in a good way, making it effectively useless. Grateful for help!
The music on the external storage is, as you would expect, stored as albums and tracks. The tracks are files and the albums are folders. The issue is that I can't see a good list of folders, ie albums, which is what I really want.
If on the TV I select music, it shows me the device and can then click on folders. Unhappily, it shows me 10,000 individual files (ie tracks) first) so it takes 10 minutes to scroll down to find the folders. This looks to my naive eye to be a fault: if I search on folders I should get folders.
Another search option is on albums. Trouble with that is that it finds only about 20 albums, and the remaining 10,000 tracks are bundled into a single 'unknown' folder. So that's no good either but why is this happening? Why has it failed to identify the vast majority of albums. When I look at them on my PC I can see no difference between the folders and their contents for the few the TV does recognise versus the many that it does not. For example, we have a fair few Beatles albums with only two recognised by the TV. Those two did not arrive on the storage by a different route than at least some of the others, and they look identical on my PC (they are basically MP3 files, the folder also contains a very small file called ID). Whe I try to seach by other criteria, eg artist, I get the same very small sample.
What seems to be going on here is that some attribute in the folders (which I can't see) is causing some to load as albums but most not.
One way out of this would perhaps be for me to navigate down the file structure on the NAS as I do on my PC. But I can't find a way to do that on my TV. Is there one?
Grateful for help!
