Videos unable to play on browser

[keshav iyer]

Videos from certain websites are unable to play on browser after latest update to webOS 5.50.55. In the first image there should be a play icon on the video player

My LG web browser stopped playing videos from some websites,  but not all. Finally discovered that "Adaptive Streaming using Javascript" was enabled. I disabled this setting and the problem was resolved. To change the setting,  go to the web browser's "settings" menu.

Hello, I have the same problem as of 10/29/23, before I could play videos in the browser, but after an update I could no longer, my TV model is 55UP7750PSB and the current software I have is "03.36.45" . I tried to search for previous versions of the software but didn't find any, is there a solution for this problem?

Hi,

Well I tried signing up to the site to see if I could replicate the issue you are having, but the sign up page just 404s after pressing the sign up button.

I have same firmware, but if you read the faq in the web page, they say will only play on certain browsers, firefox, internet explorer etc. or could be in flash player format which webos wont play.

The videos on this site used to play just fine before the update

There's no need for a sign-up to play videos. It's just an option.

I’ve the same issue here. It used to work and then suddenly stopped, we can not air play, we can not cast easily, no variety for apps.

Honestly, I’ll never recommend LG smart tv to anyone 

the OS us bullshit

@RSS Thanks for that interesting feedback. Are you able to post your TV model, the WebOS version and the Browser version please? This may help others with similar issues.

Hi there!

Same issue, sadly with my LG 49UJ630Y-TA there's no such a a thing "adaptive streaming using JavaScript"... Any ideas???

Thanks!

Adaptive streaming solution above does not fix issue here, nor is it fixed by allowing the video file to buffer.  Called LG Support today about issue but received no acknowledgement of issue or definitive solution.  I would try factory reset but entails installing all my apps and signing into them again. For now, I am using the Silk browser on my Firestick to get around issue but this extremely frustrating that it was working before html5 came along, which I suspect contributed to this problem.
