Many customers waiting for Mx player will come in LG web os platform but no any information why ? LG web os is better but why is getting late 

Hi @Binod Kumar

If you want MX Player for webOS you will need to get the maker (not LG they do not write the apps for the platform) to produce it.  Sorry I obviously did not make this clear enough in my previous post.

The LG team should junk their webos as it is very restrictive and adopt a platform which will cater to all apps. If a customer is not satisfied he will never buy a LG television again. I feel better options are available today

Use internet web browser and go to mx player web page. Then steam it.

I was planning to buy a new smart TV of a higher screen size and I have decided I will not buy LG or Samsung that have proprietary OS like webOS or Tizen. VU would be good idea and I will examine the OS of other brands too. No more buying TV's with proprietary OS. This is the 2nd time I am moving away from LG. Earlier I junked their Washing machine as their franchisee service centres are frauds and change even good parts. and the washing machine was tearing clothes.

The thing is that they have most of the apps an average person would ever need, the problem is for us that are asking for the most of an, practically left behind, OS.

Hi,

OK I will post in this thread for a third time on this subject.

LG, in general like Google, Apple and Samsung, do not write apps for their respective platforms.  If you want an app for the webOS platform it is down to the creator of that app to produce it, not LG.

@Anupam As @George Hofmeister has hinted at in his earlier post, you need to ask the MK Player developers this question.  Many owners posting on this forum seem to think there is some "magic" way to get any app they want on an LG TV, but it is NOT like a smart phone or PC, apps have to be written to work with the WebOS and the specific hardware limitations for each model series/type. So, if it is NOT in the LG STORE on your TV, then it is NOT AVAILABLE, and has not been developed for it!

If the MK Player FAQ section below does not answer your question, then pass your question to them directly:

      Accessible Smart Solutions Enable a “Better Life for All”
      By News Reporter
      Accessibility in technology transcends mere innovation; it is about making everyday life better for everyone. At CSUN AT 2025, LG participated as the first global home appliance company to showcase its universal approach to accessibility.

      The “CSUN Assistive Technology Conference,” organized by the Center on Disabilities at California State University Northridge, is recognized as the world’s largest event focused on assistive technology. Major global tech companies, including Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, participate annually to introduce their new accessibility technologies and gain valuable insights.

      As the pioneering global home appliance company to exhibit at the CSUN conference, LG unveiled accessibility innovations designed to enable a “Better Life for All.” At the 40th annual CSUN conference in March, LG showcased smart home innovations, AI technologies and accessory devices aimed at helping consumers with disabilities and senior citizens use products more conveniently.

      For the U.S. consumer market, LG demonstrated various solutions that enhance user experiences through attachable accessories and software updates for home appliances and consumer electronics.

      The LG Comfort Kit, introduced in North America for the first time this year, was developed in response to user concerns. LG created several accessories to make appliances easier to operate, including easy handles for people with limited strength to open the laundry detergent drawer and washer and dryer doors, and an easy-to-use dial for washing machines. The company continues to expand the Comfort Kit lineup by listening to feedback from a variety of consumers, including those with mobility impairments, visual impairments, as well as children and seniors.

      Another highlight of the exhibition was a newly-developed commercial kiosk featuring height- adjustable capabilities and tactile keypads. This kiosk allows wheelchair users to easily adjust the screen height to their eye level. A new tactile keypad accessory designed to enhance accessibility for visually impaired consumers also was introduced at the conference.


      Complementing its technology demonstrations in the booth, LG hosted a half-day workshop addressing topics such as AI smart homes, universal design including comfort kits, and accessible kiosks. Discussions included new assistive technologies and ways to alleviate customer pain points to create more convenient environments. Workshop participants included accessibility stakeholders from the Shepherd Center, the University of Maryland, UC Berkeley, the American Council of the Blind and the National Center for Accessible Media, who all shared their expertise and insights on improving accessibility in products.

      According to LG Electronics ESG Strategy Head Justin Hong, LG’s role at CSUN 2025 exemplifies the company’s ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility for home appliance users and to realize its Better Life for All ESG vision. “Accessibility is at the heart of our innovation, driving us to push boundaries and exceed expectations,” he says. “It is particularly meaningful to showcase various products launching in North America as we continue our efforts to contribute to a Better Life for All with some of the easiest-to-use and most convenient products on the planet.”

      LG was excited to participate in CSUN AT for the first time and present its newest accessibility-focused solutions debuting in North America. The event was a great opportunity to highlight the company’s ongoing commitment to improving lives for everyone by offering products that enhance convenience and ease of use.

      With its first appearance at CSUN AT 2025, LG reaffirmed its commitment to universal design and accessibility. By introducing thoughtfully designed solutions that enhance convenience for disabled and senior users, LG continues to push for a more inclusive future.

      How come there is no YouTube App for LG Smart TV?
      By Will M
      For the past few years I have been using a 2nd generation Apple TV to watch YouTube videos on my LG Smart TV, however as of today Apple have disabled their YouTube app for this particular device.
      I presumed I would be able to use a YouTube app on my TV to continue watching videos in this way, after all has anyone ever heard of a Smart TV without a YouTube app? Since most new TVs are smart TVs these days most people I know have one and they all have the capability to play YouTube videos, usually you don't even have to download the app as it is one of the ones that comes pre-installed.
      However I cannot find a YouTube app in the LG content store. I've not really tried to install new apps on my TV since getting it so I don't know if I'm looking in the right place, or it is one of those things like with smartphones where there are multiple places you can go and download apps from.
      Bizarrely though, despite there being no YouTube app, there is a YouTube kids app, so it's not like LG have never heard of YouTube or anything, they just don't seem to have realised that people other than kids watch videos on it.
