Developing Alex Skill using WebOS

By Guest Uwe Lammers, in LG AI ThinQ TV Discussion

Hi all,

I have the following problem: I own a 2018 E8 LG OLED TV which was bought in Germany and now runs WebOS 4.10.31.

When the E8 came out LG had announced to support Amazon's Alexa via the LG Smart ThinQ Skill but this has not

materialized - only the 2019er models are supported (which I think run webOS 4.5). What can be done?

I thought perhaps to try to write a Skill myself (I have some experience with this) using webOS. Question, is this possible

at all? Can I control the basic TV functions (switch on, off, volume up, down, etc) through webOS? If yes, where is the

API documented? Any other advice?

Thanks

Uwe

      LG WebOS TV Hogging my all my bandwidth
      By superleccy
      Hi there
      I've had my LG WebOS SmartTV for a couple of months, but in the past week or so I've noticed it's really started eating up all my home's Internet bandwidth, even when I'm just watching FreeSat TV and not running any apps.  It's connected to my router using wired ethernet, so it's not a WiFi problem.
      I can only assume that one the apps I've installed is suddenly decided to download a ton of data in the background.  But which one?
      The only solution I can think of is to install my apps one-by-one until my bandwidth issue improves.  And that's what I'll do.
      But I found this forum, and thought I'd ask you good people if any of you had had a similar experience.
      Here's the apps I've got installed:

      Huge mistake I made by buying LG smart TV
      By Surojit Bhattacharjee
      The sales person in showroom pushed for LG saying it has better sound and picture richness. But obviously didn't reveal big shortcomings of non-android smart TV in today's ecosystem. This is useless as you are not having freedom to install apps of your choice from playstore. I can't even get Sonyliv. Horrible OS. Now I am trapped for years after buying this TV. Don't buy LG or other non-android TV unless you can affford to throw it in weeks. When will LG grow up?

      Help - Video thumb images not appearing on webOS 2.2 over DLNA
      By nashwan
      I have the following setup:
       
      LG 55EF950V television which is running webOS 2.2.0-1317 (this should be the latest version of the OS).
       
      I have a number of video files on my Synology DiskStation DS413 NAS which I connect to with the TV over DLNA (on the TV this is Smart Share -> Devices -> (NAS))
       
      I can see all the video files and play them etc., however when viewing the list of files I dont see any thumb images even though I have a JPEG image for each file.  For example: "My Video.mkv" has a thumb call "My Video.jpg".  For collections I put a "cover.jpg" image in the directory (this doesnt work either on the LG TV).
       
      Has anyone else out there managed to get a webOS 2 TV to show video thumb nail images for videos over DLNA?
       
       
      BTW: this all works when I use a Samsung TV so I dont think it has anything to do with the way the Synology DiskStation DS413 NAS is setup.
