For quite a while, amazon didn't offer hdr content versions in the webos app.  A recent update has brought back the hdr content, but it's still playing in 1080.  Has anyone successfully gotten 4k and hdr to play in the amazon lg app?

I have been playing HDR content since I purchased my TV in late 2016, I cannot say I saw that it had disappeared from then until now.

I have a OLED55E8

DolbyVision and UHD do play but they crash the app. First symptom I have is video freeze with audio continue - then CRASH. I have talked to Amazon Prime but no solution as yet.

My connection is thru Lan and my speeds are 80+ Mbps

      [HELP NEEDED] Can someone please provide the last amazon.ipk (prime video)?
      By Ricasan
      Hello there!
      Recently the prime video app started to require the update to open, and now i am having a problem, because this app update REQUIRES to a system update of firmware (to webos24),
      but it will make impossible to homebrew later.
      So, can someone at least provide the last or update ipk of amazon (amazon.ipk), so i can install manually?
      Thanks!

      Sound out go back to previous selection when Bluetooth device gets disconnected
      By hjetschko
      Hi, I have a feature request for the sound out setting. I often connect my Bluetooth headphones to the TV. We don't use the internal speaker of the TV, we use the optical sound out setting whenever I don't use Bluetooth. It would make our lives a lot easier if the TV can remember the last sound out setting before connecting to Bluetooth and default back to this setting when the Bluetooth device gets disconnected. At the moment, each time I disconnect the headphones I have to go back into settings and change the sound out setting from internal speaker to optical again. 
      Thanks and regards

      DVD recorder automatically turns my tv back on
      By Kate Rickards
      I have recently allowed a software update on my LG tv and now my DVD recorder automatically turns my tv back on when a recording stops and and when I had already manually turned off both recorder and tv.  This is particularly when it happens in the very early morning!  How do I stop this. I am a pensioner and not a tech nerd!

      SEOUL, Dec. 12, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is bringing updates to its webOS smart TV platform to deliver faster, smarter and more engaging ways to explore news content. With news being one of the most accessed types of content on TVs, LG is dedicated to providing streamlined access to free news channels, podcasts and more through the News Portal and web browser on its convenient webOS platform.

Starting in 2026, LG Smart TVs sold1 in the U.S. and Canada will come with an LG Magic Remote featuring a dedicated Haystack News button, allowing users to jump straight to the service and start watching trusted news without navigating through multiple menus.

With its intuitive interface, the portal helps users stay informed with ease.
      LG has also upgraded the platform’s web browser, accessible from the home screen,6 to make it easier to keep up with recent news and information. Featuring an integrated search engine that delivers tailored results for each region,7 the browser helps users quickly find the most relevant stories. Below the search bar, frequently visited website shortcuts appear along with recommended sites.
      The browser interface additionally highlights the Trending News section for the most popular news, while the Picks for You section offers personalized recommendations aligned with individual interests.
      “LG is enhancing the viewing experience with a refined UI for the News Q-card, making live news watching effortless and more accessible,” said Chris Jo, head of the webOS Platform Business Center at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “This upgrade, along with our Haystack partnership, ensures users can seamlessly explore a wider range of free-to-watch content tailored to their interest and preferences.”
