Developing Alex Skill using WebOS

By 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

    • Question: gigabit ethernet on smart TV

      Hello, Is there any way of installing an usb gigabit network adapter on a webos smart TV?  The builtin wired adapter is only 100mbps (on a 2000$+ TV, shame  on you LG!!!)  while the wifi (N) is very poor, with the router at 1m from TV it only gets half the bandwidth of the wired network. Anyway the wired network  maxes out near 100mbps but I need more bandwidth as I have 4k video content with bitrates grater than 100mbps which I cannot stream without stuttering to TV through XPLAY/PLEX.

    • Question: webOS 3.3.4 - third party player or update for in-built player?

      Hi there, so far, the inbuilt media player was able to play a lot I threw at it, but it, but some videos just won't play. They are playing on every other platform and other videos with the same codecs involved also play, but there seem to be things (maybe a higher compression, bigger container data or something like this) that throws off the in-built player, so it just says "couldn't recognize media, want to continue with the next video?" So I was looking for another media player on th
