Hi Team,

After update of LG WebOS to 04.40.70, Amazon Prime Video app on my LG Smart TV stopped working. It started giving error :

Internet Connectivity Problem

There is an internet connection problem. Check the device's internet settings, data cables, or try to resetting your router. Also, turning your device off, and then back on might fix the problem. For further assistance, please contact Amazon customer service at www.amazon.com/videohelp

The internet/wifi connection is fine and all the other apps are working without any issue on the LG smart TV.

I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Prime video app, but that didn't help.

Has anyone faced this issue ? Is there a solution available for this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Nitin

The video (media player) has also stopped working on several websites on the web browser app since this update 4.40.70 as well. It's a pain in the butt. The sites otherwise work fine it's just the video won't play. I have 2 webos TV's one I updated the other I declined the update. It's only the update one that has the problem. With the previous update the very odd site wouldn't play and with this update even more sites won't play. Please fix this. Here is an example that wouldn't play after the previous update ...

I have a LG CX with firmware 04.40.70. Since the update I had a lot of wifi problems. I thought the wifi module on the TV died. 

After a month I saw in the TV settings that the TV sometimes connects to the router but does not go to the "DNS".

On my network, the router takes care of DNS, so I entered a public DNS 9.9.9.9 in the TV's network settings instead, and all my wifi problems disappeared.

But that's not the only problem I've had since the update. The web browser no longer works properly. But at least I found a solution to the wifi problem, maybe that will help someone else.

      All4 and My5 will no longer work from the LG browser. My LG TV is just over 3 years old. Also cannot see how to update the browser.

      As above! All4 & My5 will no longer work. Also, how do you update the browser? My LG nano TV is just over 3 years old.

      EARC issue after replaced powerboard
      By Brendank
      I had an issue with powering on the tv in which pressing the lg power button on the first ocassion did not turn on my Oled C1 77 inch Tv.
      LG replaced the powerboard, however since the replacement I have an issue with intermittent audio dropouts via earc. 
      EARC has functioned previously on my Tv when connected to an Anthem 710 receiver and for a few months now on an Anthem AVM 70. 
      The set up has remained the same in terms of audio settings, passthough, match screen and sound set to bypass and I have tried multiple cables, switching the tv off, resetting earc, but I still have the issue. 
       
      It is very odd that after a replacement power board I have this issue. It almost seems like a comparability issue between the new board and the existing components or something else is wrong with the TV.
      Any ideas?

      I would like to update the OS on a relatively old TV (manufactured in 2015). So there are questions: how to find your version, where to download a new one and check its compatibility with my TV?
