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.

No it will not play because on webOS, forced TV mode on it's OS prvents mxplayer from playing. This cannot be changed unless you jailbreak OS.

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.

I fully agree with you, totally disappointed of buying LG tv, one mistake that wont happen again.

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:

      Subtitles in media player not being correctly displayed
      By ZealousFlamingo
      So basically I just got a new LG OLED TV (55 inch C5) and my Dad's C4 was seemingly able to display internal or embedded subtitles in TV shows through the built-in media player from external USB storage just fine with some tinkering in the menus.
      But with mine, the subtitles are displaying all of the raw text in the subtitle files in the player, not using the arguments properly at all.
      Pictures included for reference
       
      Is there any way to fix this other than literally doing subtitles for every episode externally, in a seperate file?
      These subtitles work fine when I play from the exact same storage device on my phone through VLC, and again on my Dad's LG TV

      LG TV media player
      By matrex_a1990
      Hi Everyone, 
      i purchase qned706a i found a great tv and picture quality its awesome i know its not like oled but for me its more than enough, but i have one issue with it.
      i got LG based on my previews experience with my brother tv its a nanocell lg from 2017, it's media player able to run all movie without any issue, i was shocked that my 2025 tv won't able to run DTS audio, i mange to add another audio track to my move as EAC3 its working perfect, but what's drive me crazy is that some video file MKV don't work at all  showing me "this file cannot be recognised. and its working on the 2017 model without issue ! why is that DTS have some license issue ok but i don't call a video file have license too the video track shows HEVC (H265 Main 10 @L5.1), i try same video on samsung tv and it work on it i don't know why lg don't support it !
      finally i try check other media player app and it seem lg don't support such app, and i read about Kodi app and i try it on dev mode but i didn't like it and the experience wasn't perfect i have some greenish pixel, but it was able to run the video and even run file with DTS audio, which take me to my final question.
      if Kodi manage to run the video and audio fine, why LG media player didn't, and if its about license why they not allowed 3rd party app like VLC to publish their software !!
      i hope LG focus on user experience and not nonsense AI that no one will use.
