Hi,

LG webOS also needs Flash Player Support  to Stream video content from any website. So that if some apps are not available then  one can visit the website and stream contents directly from the webOS browser.

Thanks

Please see the many, many, many other posts on this issue.

Flash is never going to happen on webOS (or Samsung Tizen), Flash is as another poster put it 'already in its coffin'.

Adobe has officially said it is killing Flash in 2020, no one in their right mind at LG is going to waste time and money supporting a hideously out-dated piece of buggy bloaty security nightmare piece of software that has been superseded by other better, slimmer, securer software.

If the site you want to watch uses Flash contact the web-master and invite them in to the 21st century...  Hell they could even use Adobe Muse to create the site.   Oh hold on Adobe has just killed that off as well.  Do you see the theme on Adobe web products going on here?

It really is insane how much this gets asked, considering it's the exact same issue that people have been dealing with on their mobile devices for a decade and the answer has never changed.

      LG Channels Extends Global Footprint and Expands Free Content Offering
      By News Reporter
      As Smart TVs evolve to unlock a wider world of content, LG Channels – LG’s free, ad-supported streaming service – is at the forefront, offering a compelling mix of trending series, timeless classics, niche genres and regional favorites. Consistently expanding its content offerings, LG’s free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) delivers cost-free streaming options with ad-supported channels, catering to the preferences and interests of a wide range of audiences.
      First launched in 2015 in Korea, LG Channels has steadily increased its presence across the globe and is now available in 33 countries worldwide. With an established presence in North America, South America and Europe, new markets this year include New Zealand and Singapore. LG Smart TV users in these regions can easily access the service through the LG Magic Remote or the LG webOS Home Screen.
      As its reach continues to grow, LG Channels now offers over 4,000 channels globally, supported by valuable partnerships with industry-leading content providers and recent launches coming from Lionsgate, A+E Global Media, BBC Studios, NBCUniversal and more.

      In the U.S., LG Channels recently expanded its offering through a collaboration with NBCUniversal, adding over 40 FAST channels from the NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution library and NBCUniversal portfolio. These channels bring an exciting curation of content ranging from news, entertainment and sports to true-crime and Spanish-language programming. Today, viewers can enjoy Dateline 24/7, SNL Vault, The Real Housewives and Universal Movies. Additionally, coming soon are Telemundo’s Spanish-language channels including Telemundo Al Día, Telemundo Acción and Telemundo Romance.
      What’s more, expanded partnerships in the U.S. have introduced even more fan-favorite channels such as BBC News from AMC Networks, Storage Wars by A&E from A+E Global Media and 50 Cent Action from Lionsgate.

LG TV owners in the U.S. now have access to Britbox Mysteries, Bargain Hunt, BBC Drama and Dinos 24/7. Meanwhile, six new FAST channels1 have been added to LG Smart TVs in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the Nordic region.

The new channels also include classics like BBC Drama and Doctor Who, engaging viewers with an array of exciting options.

      For viewers in Europe, LG presents LG 1, the company’s free ad-supported owned-and-operated channel featuring popular premium content through key partnerships that include NBCUniversal, Fremantle, Lionsgate and Filmrise.

      External USB storage (flash\hdd) how to disable scan\thumbnails\etc
      By mycop
      Greetings.
      A huge problem is connecting an external drive/flash drive to a TV with webos with a large number of files.
      It starts scanning all folders, which can take up to 20 minutes. Which is unacceptably long.
      On the netcast platform, everything was instant. Maybe it creates previews...maybe something else...
      How to disable disk scanning by the webos platform?
