As the title says, please fix ASAP playback of Profile 7 (FEL/MEL) inside Matroska (.mkv) container.
On WEB OS 24 it was working with backwards compatibility to HDR10 base layer - in other words the Dolby Vision was omitted.
Currently in WEBOS 25 the files won't work/play.
As LG started to support Profile 8 Dolby Vision from WEB OS 25 in MKV properly, this should be easy fix for LG.
Example of MediaInfo of Profile 7:
Video ID : 1 Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Format profile : Main [email protected]@High HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, Profile 7.6, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, no metadata compression, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, Version HDR10, HDR10 compatible Codec ID : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC Duration : 1 h 25 min Bit rate : 55.3 Mb/s Width : 3 840 pixels Height : 2 160 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Constant Frame rate : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 (Type 2) Bit depth : 10 bits Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.278 Stream size : 32.9 GiB (91%) Language : English Default : Yes Forced : No Color range : Limited Color primaries : BT.2020 Transfer characteristics : PQ Matrix coefficients : BT.2020 non-constant Mastering display color primaries : BT.2020 Mastering display luminance : min: 0.0001 cd/m2, max: 1000 cd/m2 Maximum Content Light Level : 966 cd/m2 Maximum Frame-Average Light Level : 223 cd/m2 Cheers and thank you.

Today’s cars are already smart – but making them feel effortlessly intelligent is a different challenge altogether. As vehicles take on more roles than ever before – navigation guide, safety assistant, entertainment hub – they demand a central system capable of orchestrating it all with precision and fluidity. What drivers genuinely want is simple: a smoother, more connected experience behind the wheel.
Our next-generation High-Performance Computing (HPC) Lite platform was built for exactly that purpose. Debuting at CES® 2026, this new platform brings a vehicle’s most essential functions together into one unified, intelligent brain. By merging the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) into a single, cohesive architecture, HPC processes information more efficiently – creating a driving experience that feels smoother, more responsive and inherently safer.
Building the HPC Platform Together
To build a platform as ambitious as HPC Lite, finding the right partner was essential. That’s why we teamed up with aiMotive – a leading developer of advanced automotive AI and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stellantis. Their strength in perception and driving intelligence, paired with our long-standing expertise in vehicle components, formed a collaboration that elevated every stage of development.
The result is a powerful, next-gen HPC platform that serves as the vehicle’s central processing unit. It consolidates multiple functions into the HPC Electronic Control Unit (ECU), built on an advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) and enhanced with aiMotive’s aiDrive software. By integrating these capabilities within a single SoC, the platform handles the heavy data demands of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with remarkable efficiency. For OEMs, this means lower component costs, reduced hardware complexity and a vehicle architecture built for both performance and safety.
Intelligent Assistance for Everyday Driving
With intelligent software at its core, HPC Lite transforms the daily drive in numerous ways. The integrated aiDrive solution supports Level 2+ automated navigation-assisted driving on highways and eligible secondary roads, utilizing a comprehensive multi-camera and multi-radar setup that doesn’t rely on HD maps.
Designed to assist rather than replace the driver, the system acts as a smart companion. It can recognize traffic lights, bring the vehicle to a halt at stop lines and assist in adjusting speed according to highway limits. It also helps with overtaking maneuvers and assists in yielding to vehicles approaching from behind when changing lanes or merging. These features – powered by aiMotive’s efficient, end-to-end AI stack – work together to facilitate a more seamless and comfortable driving experience.
Intuitive Interfaces for the Connected Cabin
Advanced technology is most effective when it’s intuitive to use. That’s why we optimized our Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for next-generation automotive displays, ensuring drivers stay informed without distraction.
A unified digital cockpit brings together the instrument cluster and Center Information Display (CID), while our ADAS Confident View provides intuitive 3D and 2D visualizations of the vehicle’s surroundings. Drivers gain quick, clear access to essential alerts – from following distance to real-time, traffic-based route suggestions – and can even view curated lifestyle information such as promotions from frequently visited stores.
Charting the Future of SDV Innovation
Engineered to efficiently manage the complex functions of next-gen vehicles, the HPC platform is poised to become a core technology for the SDV era. Our continued collaboration with aiMotive will focus on delivering tailored solutions for global automakers – combining high performance with cost-competitiveness to meet diverse market needs.
To mark the start of this shared innovation journey, we will jointly introduce the HPC platform at CES this January.
This partnership represents a powerful synergy of expertise. Gabor Pongracz, senior vice president and head of ADAS/AD Software at aiMotive, notes that combining aiMotive’s AI-powered software with our technological strengths enables scalable, reliable and intelligent solutions for the future of driving.
For us at LG, the launch of HPC signals an important milestone – one that further solidifies our role as a leading provider of transformative IVI and ADAS solutions. Eun Seok-hyun, president of LG Vehicle Solution Company, views the platform as a major step forward in the advancement of SDVs. Building on the success of the original HPC platform unveiled at CES 2025, our next-generation solution is set to “redefine the drive” – taking driving comfort and convenience on the road to a whole new level.

At LG Electronics, Better Life for All is more than a corporate vision or tagline – it’s a guiding principle that shapes everything we create. Central to our inclusive vision is a belief in universal design: the philosophy of crafting products and experiences to deliver convenience and comfort for everyone, regardless of age, gender or physical ability.
Committed to this philosophy, LG aims to go beyond functional innovation to provide unique lifestyle solutions that truly put people first. A deep understanding of our customers and the diverse environments in which they live is essential to this endeavor, which is why listening to the voice of the customer is such an integral part of our design process.
We have established systems to directly integrate real user feedback, especially from those with limited mobility – and seniors and children – into the product development stage. This includes operating an advisory group of people with disabilities and conducting in-depth usability testing. Both of these elements have proven instrumental in helping us to identify and minimize even the smallest points of user discomfort.
Designing with Empathy, Delivering with Purpose
Design at LG has always been about more than aesthetics. It’s about innovating with empathy to ensure usability, ease and enjoyment for all. For us, universal design is not just an outcome, but a mindset shared by all our teams – one that infuses human-centeredness into every decision, no matter how minor or inconsequential it may seem to someone looking in from the outside. From the first concept sketch to the final product experience, we view every touchpoint as an opportunity to make someone’s daily life simpler, safer and more enjoyable.
This approach requires us to design with people rather than for them. It challenges our teams to think beyond convention, to question what “easy to use” truly means and to continuously refine our technology to better meet and adapt to real human needs. When empathy is woven into the design process itself, innovation follows naturally. That is how we translate inclusivity from principle to practice.
Turning Philosophy into Practice: The Comfort Kit
Putting this philosophy into action, we launched the Comfort Kit – a series of affixable assistive kits designed to allow anyone to use our products easily, regardless of their gender, age or physical condition.
Some examples:
Easy Handle: Enables users with limited hand mobility to open washers and dryers with minimal effort.
Easy Ball: Helps those with reduced finger dexterity to manipulate control dials with ease.
Easy Hanger: Allows people using wheelchairs, or those who are shorter than average, to interact comfortably with the LG Styler.
Rotating Shelf: Improves refrigerator usability by making it easier to access hard-to-reach items. We have presented inclusive design solutions that improve the usability of existing products, becoming the first in the home appliance industry to introduce 14 accessibility-enhancing kits. These Comfort Kit series, designed to remove the “one-size-fits-some” barrier that many customers have long faced, are also sustainably manufactured – reflecting our commitment to protecting the planet.
Recognition Beyond Design
Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. Globally, we are recognized as a model company for inclusive design.
We’ve shared our accessibility technologies and design philosophy at forums such as the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference, where the Comfort Kit series was welcomed by both consumers and organizations advocating for underrepresented communities.
We also showcased this work at important global exhibitions such as IFA and CES. Our dedication to good design earned us the “Design Awards Grand Slam” – winning top honors at all three major global design awards, Red Dot, iF, and IDEA.
These accolades matter to us, but more importantly, they reflect our deep conviction that inclusive design is not just a feature – it’s a responsibility.
Designing for a Better Tomorrow
For us at LG, realizing the Better Life for All vision means creating unique products and experiences that feel right for everyone, and can be enjoyed by anyone. We will continue to advance accessibility so that all customers can take advantage of everything that our products and services have to offer. No caveats or compromises, only convenience and comfort.
