I'm told that OneFootball has an app that's available on LG WebOS. Can someone tell me how to find it? I went to 'LG Channels' and did a search, but that search seems to be for programs, not channels. I went to the Sports category and didn't find it either. Thanks.

I'm urgently looking for a way to watch video files that are accessible via different SMB-shares - I was able to do that with external devices like WD-TV-HD Media Player or a raspberry pie - and I thought that I will not need that any more with my new LG OLED - I can webOS or which APP I need to install on the TV to do that
I was expecting to see accessible SMB shares - where I can enter or even store user/pw - besides the Sticks/HDDs attached to the USB port
In the Internet I just found solutions by hacking / manipulating webOS - I cannot believe that this is the correct/only way to achieve that...
TIA,
Chi

The LG WebOS Plex App will not start without internet access even though the App is used to access local Media from a Plex Sever on the local network. Samsung, Roku, AppleTV Plex Apps ALL work on the local network playing local Media even if internet access is not available. This is a dealbreaker. I will NOT purchase anymore LG TV’s unless this issue is corrected. The app simply states that “Internet is Not Accessible” and will not continue to load. I don’t care if the internet is not available. My local network IS available and is all that is needed.
