You would be better off asking where Steam Link for webOS is on the Steam forum as they are the ones who produce the software.  If they can make it for multiple platform including competitors' TVs then they should be capable of porting it to webOS.

Actually, I believe this is on LG's part and not Steam/Valve.  As far as I know, the only official from Valve appp support is for Android. I believe the version for Samsung TVs was technology licensed from Valve but the app was actually written by Samsung themselves. With this said, I suspect the only was it'll end up on WebOS is if LG licenses it from Valve and writes a WebOS version themselves.

Yup, I think it's true. Does LG's officials answer on this forum? We'd like to get some info.

Right, here we go again.

First.  Nope there are no LG officials on this site, it is a user-to-user forum.

Second.  Like every other operating system out there the manufacturer of said system does not produce every single app for said platform, see Microsoft Apple etc for examples. 

So why do all LG TV owners expect LG to produce every single app for the platform?

"Right, here we go again."

First. Why are you sounding so irritated about people giving a suggestion?
Second. With the rise in popularity of streamable games people hope and wish it was more accessible... hence the suggestion.

Its a shame WebOS doesn't support steam link still. I don't think I can wait any more longer for LG to add it to the store. I've decided to sell my LG TV  and get an andriod TV just so i can use the steam link app.

Because this is not the first time somebody suggested that LG should make an app because everybody want the 'hotstar app', the 'steam app', 'sony life' app, the 'hulu app' the 'hbo app', etc. etc. etc.

So George explains time and time again that:1: LG can not make the apps because only hotstar, steam, sony etc has the knowledge to make the apps and 2: this is not a LG forum, it is a lg USER forum.

And it is hot here with record breaking temperatures, so maybe not enough energy 🙂

Hi PeterV,

Thanks, I try to keep my (metaphorical) mouth shut when people repeatedly ask the same questions obviously I was having a bad day when I posted my comments. 

One of my rules for good forum etiquette:

Use the search facility

If the search facility flags up something that looks related to you query read thread(s)

If once you have read the thread(s) and your query is not answered then make a post

-------

Question, has anyone made LG aware of the petition at Change.org?

      Allow to play old .avi files, please!
      By Digard
      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!

      YouTube app problems, please help!
      By Simon1973
      I recently bought a 50NANO90A6B TV and so far I have to say it's a fantastic upgrade from my old Sony 40".
      However, I've one small niggle problem (only had the TV since Sunday)... The YouTube app doesn't seem to want to work! it shows the logo with a spinny circle, then the logo starts again with the spinny circle... this just repeats over and over.
      All other apps (iPlayer, Jellyfin, Plex, ITV, CH4 etc...) work as does the LGTV app, so the WiFi connection is fine!
      I've uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app a few times, but it does the same each time!
      Anyone know how I can sort this? any other suggestions for fixing it!
      I'm currently using my Chromecast with GoogleTV for YouTube at the moment.
      I'm in the UK by the way! And the TV is set to that, in all the relevant settings locations.

      By SNiPpy YiPpy
      Hello all,
      I believe this problem started after i accidently started and immediately cancelled the download of a app. After this I am unable to install or update any app evem after resetting to initial settings.
      This should be the exact problem found here https://www.lgwebos.com/topic/1918-because-i-can however the solution seems to require a new update. Help?

      [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!
