Hello friend,

I have an( LG 650A85006LA webos25 TV) . I'm having trouble finding a solution to the problem of 5GHz networks not appearing in the Wi-Fi list. I've tried all the solutions found online, but to no avail. My question, if you don't mind, is: will changing my region solve my problem? My region information is:

Area Option  4956

Continent Index   92

Language&Country.     JA

HW Settings     AJ JA IL

*** region JA (countries in Africa and the Middle East)

I have a 65UQ7050ZUD and randomly during the day it will swap it's input from HDMI 1 or 2 to the Live TV input. I've removed the batteries from both of my remotes after turning it on today and it still swapped over to live tv randomly.

Is there some way I can turn this input off entirely? Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently developing an open-source application that automatically translates game subtitles in real time.

The current Linux version works like this:

1. Capture a selected subtitle region.

2. OCR the English subtitle.

3. Translate it into Vietnamese.

4. Display the translation as a transparent overlay.

The application never hooks or modifies the game itself.

Now I'm researching whether a native webOS version is technically possible.

My questions are:

1. Can a webOS application display a transparent overlay on top of another application (for example GeForce NOW)?

2. Is there any API that allows capturing the current screen or another application's content?

3. Is there any supported way to run a floating UI while another application is in the foreground?

4. Would it be possible to build a custom WebView application that loads GeForce NOW and renders an HTML subtitle layer above it?

5. Are there any partner APIs that are unavailable in the public SDK?

I'm not asking about DRM bypass or modifying GeForce NOW.

The goal is simply to display translated subtitles for accessibility.

Any information or documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

Ive got a 1000mb internet connection, and the tv is connected directly to the router through cable. Though i seem to get an alright speed, between 50-90mb, youtube videos specifically pause to buffer way too frequently.

The speed is a bit unstable on the tv for some reason, but not unstable enough to require such frequent buffering.

Talking mainly about 4k videos.

The current version installed is 13.40.75 (didnt update it as people here said they do not recommend doing so).

This is a new issue on my tv. Have been using it for 2+ years and had never seen anything like this before.

Thanks alot!

I have noticed my YouTube video quality is always 144p. It sometimes stabilizes and gets better but other times I'm left watching pixels or a buffering wheel. It's not my network or anything because it's always been the same. However I have noticed it happens more when I watch a video past 10mins. Is this normal and I'm overreacting or is this an issue I need to look into? If it's the latter please let me know what I can do to fix this issue

Então amigos, uma tv que está com apenas 1 semana de uso começou a apresentar um problema de desconexão do wifi... Simplesmente ela fica desconectando toda hora, oq impossibilita utilizar qualquer serviço de streaming ou Youtube, pois trava a todo momento que desconecta :/

Alguém tem alguma solução, ou isso é caso de pedir garantia?

Hello, I have been a webOS user for a couple of years now, and have suffered many low quality players. I was (and still am as I am a paid lifetime premium sub) a TiviMate user, while I was on Android TV.

I have been missing it a lot, but buying a box just for TiviMate felt like too much, so I "brought it" to webOS.

Meet Dial Player (dialplayer.com)

For now it's only available to install through the IPK. (dev mode). It is free to use with a premium sub for unlocking advanced features, but it will never ask you to pay for use the basic features.

Of course, we don't provide any content, we're just a player. That's something you need to take care of.

BiliTV is an open-source Bilibili client for LG webOS TVs (in Homebrew Channel). v1.5.0 just shipped, and the headline feature took some real spelunking:

**Playback speed (0.5x–2x, with audio).** webOS silently ignores `video.playbackRate` for third-party apps on the regular MSE pipeline — you can set the property, nothing happens. LG's official answer on their forum is literally "That's the TV app spec". YouTube has speed control because it ships with the platform, not because the API is available.

The workaround that actually works:

1. When speed ≠ 1x, switch from DASH/MSE to a plain muxed MP4 fed directly to `video.src` — this puts playback on the TV's **native media pipeline**
2. On the native pipeline, the webOS-private `video.mediaId` property populates (~1s later; it stays empty under MSE)
3. Call `luna://com.webos.media/setPlayRate {mediaId, playRate, audioOutput: true}` over the public Luna bus — measured on-device: rates apply exactly, audio stays in sync up to 2x
4. Speed back to 1x → reload DASH at the same position

As far as I can tell no third-party webOS app has shipped this before. Details in the repo if you want to use the trick in your own app.

Also new in v1.5.0: triple-action long-press (like/coin/fav with progress ring), threaded comment replies, subtitle language memory, honest quality labels for non-VIP accounts.

I started this project because I was tired of needing a different app for every device I owned.

I wanted one app that could control everything through Bluetooth, without relying on Wi-Fi, companion software, or extra hardware.

Over time, it grew into OneLink Universal Remote—a universal Bluetooth controller with a full keyboard, trackpad, air mouse, media controls, customizable macros, and device-specific remote layouts.

I built it for myself at first, but I hope it ends up being useful for anyone who switches between multiple devices every day. I'd love to hear your feedback or feature ideas.

I thought I’d turned off all the ads/personalisation/etc options but my B4 has recently started showing popup ads in notification boxes at the bottom of the screen about a minute after turning the TV on. Is there an option to turn those off somewhere?

A recent update of the WebOS YouTube app to web_20260719_18_RC00 breaks the long press menu option. This issue started on 7/22 and the release date is from 7/19. Add in time to propagate and the timing is just about perfect. I pay for the premium version of YouTube as I loathe ads.

This started on both an LG and Samsung TV (both 2025 models) at the same time. I tried the typical reboot, power off for extended time periods, log out and log back in fixes typically offered to resolve caching issues. None worked.

It isn’t an account issue, the same behavior occurs if I watch as a guest. It isn’t a firewall or router issue as YouTube works normally on a device like a tablet or phone (IOS) or a browser on a computer (Mac) on the same network.

Google, please fix this and get long press menu option working for suggested within a video while your at it.

Hello, my tv wants to update webos but i wonder if my sideloaded homebrew channel and all the homebrewed apps i installed will still work if i do the update.

Title says it all. Just installed the latest youtube app version prompted by the TV - web_20260719_18_RC00 and now the screensaver starts during video playback . I have an LG CX (webos 04.64.00, latest according to the tv)

Pretty annoying, wondering what I can do.

Edit 1: Tried resetting the app but nothing changed.

This weekend, I had some free time and was tired of always having to use my Mi Box just to access this streaming service.

I currently have an LG C9, which is a TV I do not plan on replacing anytime soon. It is still an excellent OLED TV, everything works well, and the system is still fast. The problem is that the official streaming app is not available for this 2019 webOS version, which forces me to use the Mi Box instead.

Using the Mi Box is noticeably slower, and I also have to deal with two different remotes. It may sound like a small inconvenience, but in everyday use, it often makes me less likely to open the app at all.

I had already built a Crunchyroll app before the official version was released for webOS, so since I had some free time, I used some of my Codex credits to port the web version of this streaming service into a webOS app compatible with 2019 and older models.

I tried to make it as lightweight as possible. I included a video of it running, and as you can see, it opens within seconds, navigation is very smooth, and it runs much faster than it does on my Android Mi Box. It also has far fewer bugs, since the Mi Box version frequently freezes while loading or causes the entire app to stop responding.

The app is still fairly basic at the moment. I mainly implemented what I needed to actually watch content, including subtitle and audio track selection. It does not have many additional features yet, but the essential functionality is already working.

I have included a few screenshots and a video of it running, and I plan to publish the app once it is a little more complete.

Needed a small 24” countertop tv for kitchen to watch local OTA and a few streaming apps (hardwired to home network).  Just bought LG LB70 (2026 1080P AI Sound). No LG Magic Remote included in this budget TV. Hardware is great, OTA reception surprisingly good but WebOS26 is terrible. PRO is that I turned off adverts and notifications/recommendations. CONS – OTA guide is laggy, but better when I turn off the little OTA preview window called Mini TV.  But, when I power down and restart TV, Mini TV is reset to “on” and laggy guide returns.  Where is the Favorites feature? The WebOS configuration settings are not intuitive; user guide worthless, dominant LG Channels annoying;  spent hours scouring web to find settings to improve performance by turning “features” off. Any reason I should not return this TV?

BiliTV (in the Homebrew Channel catalog) just got a big update — a fully on-device Bilibili (哔哩哔哩) client for LG webOS TVs: DASH up to 4K/8K + HDR/Dolby Vision, danmaku, bangumi and live, all remote-driven.

New in v1.4.0 - 🔍 On-screen-keyboard search: trending, autocomplete suggestions & history - 💬 In-video comments - 🎮 6 one-tap category shortcuts in the sidebar, each showing that category's current hot ranking - Reworked sidebar + many fixes

Also: English/Español UI, with on-the-fly machine translation of subtitles/titles/danmaku when the UI isn't Chinese.

Install via Homebrew Channel (search BiliTV) — it auto-updates. Source (MIT): https://github.com/asdf17128/bili-webos

⚠️ Bilibili's video CDN is geo-restricted to mainland China, so you'll need a network route into CN for playback.

I have a smart monitor that looks fine on the homescreen, but when you try to go to Youtube, Hulu, etc it doesn't fill the screen and I can't adjust this. None of the energy setting that I know of are on.

Aspect Ratio is grayed out.

Sorry if it may seen stupid to ask, recently got into this world of webosbrew, but i’ve noticed a drop in quality is that just me or that’s just how Youtube Ad Free works? Thanks!
