@Surojit Roy You do not post what TV you have, and it may only be available in the LG APP store for certain later models. It is not available in all countries either. So, if it is not in the store, you cannot install it. Here is a posssible workaround, from an anonymous user:

"In some TVs you won’t be able to install apps which are not available with them. Though my tv was a smart tv only I couldn’t install Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hotstar, Zee5, ALtbalaji etc. to enjoy the web series and movies on them. After some research, I got to know about this: - Fire TV Stick 4K with All-New Alexa Voice Remote, with Streaming Media Player.

It has to be downloaded in the stick and just switch to the hdmi on which the stick is fitted and play. You need to have a good internet connection [strong WiFi signal] to use it.

We need to pay the subscription costs for Netflix, amazon prime, Hotstar, zee5 etc. We can choose the various plans which suit us. But it’s worth buying. We have disconnected our tata sky also since the day we got this as now we can watch a variety of programs and web series with the help of this fire stick. Now we just love to have it."

It is available from Amazon and other selected outlets/specialist stores.

      Prime Video unable to update/install on LG TV OLED65G36LA WebOs 8.20.0-710
      By Juicycarrot
      Hi there,
       
      I have an LG smart TV OLED65G36LA (LG OS v03.20.17, webOS TV version 8.20.0-710) , and the Prime Video App was no longer able to update (from Dec 2025) and therefore could no longer be used.
      I have tried uninstalling the app and re-installing, and that was unable to work, so then applied a full reset on the LG TV and so had to reinstall all of my other apps (Apple TV, Netflix, etc etc) which all successfully downloaded so confirmed network connections and setup are all confirmed working.
      When I try to download the Prime Video app, it remains stuck on the download screen and is unable to update.
      Thanks

      Large remote controller used by LG service engineer.
      By GOM43
      Last week a LG service person visited our home. After resetting our new LG TV, he went to his van and returned with a large remote controller. We asked what it was for and he told us it was to access settings that the standard controllers could not do. But would not tell us what it did.
      Do you know what it can do?

      Trouble with Moonlight app streaming to LG webOS : worked 6 months but now connection unstable & black screen
      By rems1989
      Hi everyone,

      I’m running into a very inconsistent issue when streaming my Windows 11 PC with apollo (fork of Sunshine) to my LG C4 TV using Moonlight (webOS).
      The setup worked perfectly for about 6 months at 2K / 90 FPS with high bitrate.
      Around 2–3 weeks ago, the issue started without any clear change on the PC side (possibly after a webOS update).

      Symptoms:
      •    Moonlight on the TV shows “connection unstable” with a black screen
      •    Behavior is inconsistent and unpredictable :
      Sometimes nothing works at all with black screen Sometimes 2K / high bitrate work or not yesterday 2K didn't work but lowest resolution (1280x..) worked •    Streaming to my phone works fine, so the host PC and network seem OK

      What I’ve tried:
      •    Clean reinstall of Moonlight on the TV and Apollo/Sunshine on the PC
      •    H.264 only (no HEVC, no AV1, HDR off for testing)
      •    All bitrate / FPS / resolution combinations
      •    Ethernet and Wi-Fi
      •    Different Windows display modes
      •    Virtual display disabled
      Setup:
      •    Host PC: Windows 11, NVIDIA GPU (RTX 3070)
      •    Apollo installed on PC
      •    LG C4 TV, webOS 10.2.2, sideloaded Moonlight client (1.6.36)
      •    PC and TV tested on both Ethernet and Wi-Fi (2 gbps internet speed on my computer)
      •    Streaming to other clients (android phone) seems to work reliably

      Feel free to ask me any information needed
      Thanks for your help

      [HELP NEEDED] Can someone please provide the last amazon.ipk (prime video)?
      By Ricasan
      Hello there!
      Recently the prime video app started to require the update to open, and now i am having a problem, because this app update REQUIRES to a system update of firmware (to webos24),
      but it will make impossible to homebrew later.
      So, can someone at least provide the last or update ipk of amazon (amazon.ipk), so i can install manually?
      Thanks!
