Developing Alex Skill using WebOS

Guest · 2019-04-04T20:24:06+0000

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 SMART TV Screen corner pixels
  By ashok R
  
  TV model: 49 UH770T
  I used 6000 hours. All four corners start to have struck pixels, this is very disappointing us after spending INR 1,00,000. I am sure this should have been tested products for such high value. How would I customer will recommend LG Smart TV for family and friends if the product manufacturing is not worth the money spent on?

- Can anyone confirm this bug?
  By Phaedrus
  
  On an LG CX 55, two minutes into episode 4 -- "The Tomb" -- of the series Moon Knight on Disney+ there is a scene with statuettes in niches each lit by an oil lamp. As the flames flicker, dark blotches jump around some of the niche walls.
  These are certainly unintended artifacts.
  Can someone confirm wether this is a CX (only) issue?

  Our current app is available on 4K/UHD LG television models running the following system software:
  webOS 3.0 webOS 3.5 webOS 4.0 webOS 5.0 No 720p or 1080p (“full HD”) sets are supported for our current app at this time.
  Note: Due to root certificate limitations with the device OS itself, only webOS 5.0+ devices support secure connections with a personal Plex Media Server. To allow connections to a personal server, devices running earlier webOS versions must be set to Allow Insecure Connections in the TV app settings and the Plex Media Server must be set to Preferred for the Secure Connections preference.
