Add support for more Codecs

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, 

I wish LG would consider updating their Codecs list or at least give us a way of installing this codecs in our TV manually. i know my TV is capable of playing a lot of stuff but i'm always stuck with "not supported" for most of the media i have. 

One of the most wished stuff i'd love to see is 

Added support for H.264 10bit (still very popular and used a lot) 

as well as Opus codecs (its a Free codec and its getting a lot use recently especially with H.265 MKV videos) 

Like i said, please add this codecs and more or at least give us a way of doing it ourselves. i know there might be legal issues and some codecs are payed, so just let us install it ourselves instead. 

Thanks.

Absolutely agree. I've been having trouble with this so much that i started watching stuff on my Tablet instead of using my brand new TV! :( Come on LG, add support for more Codecs it's never bad to have more support, never. it's actually always good.

Lg sucks big time. Cannot update features on TV, webos won't update for 3 year old tvs. All my products have been lg. Not supporting them anymore for the lack of respect to their customers. Just bought a new Phillips android tv. Amazing and very customizable. Bye LG.

Same as someone above said - hate to see that my over 10yr old dust-covered samsung plays more videos than brand new shiny LG B9 65''...it is so sad.

There is also problem with mkv files with subtitles and large (4k) videos ...these can be seen but not searched or moved fast-forward or backward...

It would be great to have these things fixed...

      Dear LG TV developers,
      I am glad to see that LG Smart TV has a built-in web browser and LG API supports "openBrowserAt" so that my smart home controller can open a web page on the TV. However, nowadays, we also have ms-teams online meeting that is accessible through web browser which the LG TV supports. However, this requires the browser to have a microphone to record audio and to have a webcam for video recording. Also, certain smart-home systems also need built-in microphone to record voice commands so that no additional standalone unit is required next to the TV.
      Unfortunately, LG Smart TV (I have OLED48A1PTA) does not have microphone neither does it support USB mic/webcam. So I am writing this post to suggest that future middle/higher-end LG Smart TV can be equipped with these. Moreover, it might be possible for TV firmware update to add the support of USB webcam/microphone so that they can be used in web browsers for web-based online meeting.
      Thank you very much for your consideration!
      Best regards,
      Xuancong
