Hello,

I connected an hard drive to my LG OLED TV via USB. My TV is connected to my home network via Ethernet, as is my computer.  

I would like to access the hard disk from my computer. Is this possible? How can I do this with Windows 10?

Note that I don't want to connect my hard drive directly to my computer but to my TV (because my home network is quite unstable).
I thank you in advance for all your help.

      Popup messages: Wired Lan cable disconnected / Wired network is connected
      By John Bizeray
      I recently updated the firmware on my  LG43UH610V.  Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.

      How do I access the OneFootball TV app?
      By bos2prov
      I'm told that OneFootball has an app that's available on LG WebOS. Can someone tell me how to find it? I went to 'LG Channels' and did a search, but that search seems to be for programs, not channels. I went to the Sports category and didn't find it either. Thanks.

      Access to password protected SMB Shares
      By Chi
      I'm urgently looking for a way to watch video files that are accessible via different SMB-shares - I was able to do that with external devices like WD-TV-HD Media Player or a raspberry pie - and I thought that I will not need that any more with my new LG OLED - I can webOS or which APP I need to install on the TV to do that
      I was expecting to see accessible SMB shares - where I can enter or even store user/pw -  besides the Sticks/HDDs attached to the USB port
      In the Internet I just found solutions by hacking / manipulating webOS - I cannot believe that this is the correct/only way to achieve that...
       
      TIA,

      SEOUL, Dec. 12, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is bringing updates to its webOS smart TV platform to deliver faster, smarter and more engaging ways to explore news content. With news being one of the most accessed types of content on TVs, LG is dedicated to providing streamlined access to free news channels, podcasts and more through the News Portal and web browser on its convenient webOS platform.

      My LG 43UM7600PLB TV does not sees the directories on the external USB drive
      By Andy_Roider
      As per the subject line, I have had a USB drive connected to my television for over four years, but for the past few days it has not been recognising the directories where my films and music are organised, and is displaying EVERYTHING in a single list of over a thousand files.
      It is a 1TB drive (half of the maximum 2TB allowed) with a power supply, formatted as NTFS, and not completely full.
      I have checked the drive and it has no bad sectors. I have tried connecting it to both USB ports and all the files are in the permitted format (avi, mkv, mp4, mp3, etc.).
      I have also tried another 1TB drive, but the result is the same.
      Do I need to reconfigure something in the television settings?
      It would be a significant loss if I cannot resolve this issue.
      Thank you in advance for your responses.
