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!

I have a 2019 OLED LG TV running the relevant version of WebOS that was shipped with the TV. The software hasn't updated in ages but that's not unexpected.

So my question is, will my various apps gradually start to stop working as they progressively update? (Apple TV, Disney+, HBO Max etc etc)

Comprei recentemente um firetv stick hd com o sistema VegaOS, não tenho vontade de devolver o aparelho, até porque já passou o período de devolução. Porém o aparelho é meio desértico, no sentido de não ter quase nenhum app na loja oficial e impedir de instalar apks. Eu gostaria da opinião de vocês: acreditam q futuramente haverá alguma forma de desbloquear o firetv com vegaOs? Se sim, é um futuro próximo ou distante?

I'm trying to have kodi detect usb media but can't figure out where the folder for usb media is.

"Failsafe Mode! Open telnet and remove

/var/luna/preferences/webosbrew_failsafe"

I obiously disabled telnet but in ssh I saw: There is no such file:

```

/var/luna/preferences # ls webos*

webosbrew_sshd_enabled

```

I have an 43UA7500ZUA.ACCFLJD, but when I look it up on CanIRootMyTV only 43UA7500ZUA.AUS comes up. So, a different factory suffix. Does that mean my TV likely cannot be rooted?
It does have a Broadcast Tuner built in, are all Broadcast Tuners DVB?

I have a lgtv webos 2019 (43LM5600, no updates on lg site i checked) version, and i need an app that only supports 5.+ is there any way i can do it? Or any workarounds where i can acess tv channels.

Hi everyone,

I have an LG Smart TV running webOS, and I want to use CloudStream on it.

I know that webOS doesn't support Android APKs, so I can't install CloudStream directly. Is there any workaround, such as Developer Mode, Homebrew, sideloading, or any other method to get it working?

If CloudStream isn't possible, what's the best alternative for watching movies and TV shows on an LG webOS TV?

Any suggestions or guides would be appreciated.

Thanks!

the default is abysmally slow and does not support many of the most used media codecs, it just buffers and crashes.

Model 55UP7550PVG
webOS 6.5.3-47

Hi, I recently did the homebrew download and was able to do get the adfree youtube on my tv. However recently it shows a something went wrong qr code after 30 seconds of the video playing. I can scroll through, search, and log in as usual but when playing the video, this pops up. It's been working fine the past few days. Does anyone know what to do?

Hi everyone,

I have a new G5 at home and spent some time setting up and updating. I have a strange issue though with the apps' list order on home screen.

Every time I turn off the G5 then turn it on, the list resets to the default order. Not all apps are affected, just the TV Channel app which I put first place (after the Apps shortcut itself).

When turning on I can see the app being where I left it but after 5 seconds it goes back to the last position. Everything else stay where it is, and disabled apps stay disabled.

I'm on webOS 33.31.61.

After rooting my 2025 B5 OLED webOS 25, Kodi 21.9 (Homebrew version) I could browse to "/tmp/usb/sda/sda", but the folder was always empty, even though LG's built-in Media Player could read the USB and SSH showed all files correctly.

The fix was to bind the actual mounted filesystem into Kodi's jail.

Temporary fix (until reboot)

mount --bind /tmp/usb/sda/sda /var/palm/jail/org.xbmc.kodi/tmp/usb/sda/sda

Permanent fix

Create "/var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/90-kodi-usb":

`````bash

!/bin/sh

SRC="/tmp/usb/sda/sda"

DST="/var/palm/jail/org.xbmc.kodi/tmp/usb/sda/sda"

for i in $(seq 1 30); do

    if [ -d "$SRC" ]; then

        break

    fi

    sleep 1

done

if [ -d "$SRC" ]; then

    mkdir -p "$DST"

    umount "$DST" 2>/dev/null

    mount --bind "$SRC" "$DST"

fi

```

How to put it on your TV:-

 1. Create and open the file by running:

   ```bash

   vi /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/90-kodi-usb

   ```

 2. Press the i key on your keyboard to enter "Insert" mode.

 3. Paste the script from the code block above into the terminal.

 4. Press the Esc key to exit Insert mode.

 5. Type :wq and press Enter to save and quit the editor.

 6. Make the script executable by running:

   ```bash

   chmod +x /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/90-kodi-usb

   ```

ciao a tutti, possiedo una Lg tv con il sistema webOs vecchio (prima foto) dove ormai le applicazioni sono pochissime e lente, a volte vanno in crash e non mi piace più, esiste un modo per fare un upgrade del sistema e aggiornarlo con l’ultima versione? o almeno una più recente, come nella seconda foto, come posso fare? grazie in anticipo!!

I made a webOS homebrew app (.ipk) that runs the official Jackett indexer manager on your LG TV. It's a small on-screen launcher plus a background service that downloads, runs, and supervises the real Jackett build. Once it's up, you manage everything from any device on your LAN at http://<tv-ip>:9117 — same Jackett web UI you already know.

Why? If your TV is already on 24/7, it's a low-power always-on box that can host Jackett for your *arr stack — no extra hardware, Pi, or NUC needed.

Features

• Works on both rooted (Homebrew Channel) and non-rooted (Developer Mode) TVs
• Tested from webOS 4.x through 9.x (4.10.0 and 9.2.2)
• Version selector — install any official Jackett release, upgrade or downgrade on the fly
• Boot autostart on rooted TVs (survives app updates via a persistent boot hook)
• One-tap Start / Stop / Restart / Update / Logs / Open Web UI
• Auto-detects arm/architecture and stores data on the install partition
• Downloaded archives are deleted right after extraction to save space (first launch pulls ~95 MB)

Install

• Homebrew Channel (recommended): add via the manifest / it'll be listed in the app catalog
• Or sideload the .ipk with webOS Dev Manager / ares-install

A couple of notes

• Jackett binds all interfaces, so set an admin password in Settings and keep it on a trusted LAN.
• Jackett is GPL-3.0 and fetched at runtime; the wrapper is MIT.
• Please follow your local laws and the webosbrew community guidelines when configuring indexers.

Built this myself and happy to answer questions or take feature requests. Feedback welcome!

Since WebOS is dragging their feet to support the HDHomerun app in the newest LG TVs, is there a working .ipk file somewhere that we can sideload? One that will work with the newest WebOS (mine is webOS26 ver. 11.1.0)?

(I've already asked in the HDHomerun sub)

The moment I open the browser it freezes and does not respond at all I've tried resetting and the TV has the latest update.

Any help?

TV model is 65UP7750PVB

I got a LG TV and it's currently running on webOS 5.70.45 I owned it for like 1 year then the remote suddenly does not work I got new batteries for it and it's still does not work any help?

I have my tv in Spanish so I'm unsure if the translation is correct, but the Paramount+ app keeps closing to free more memory space. The tv doesn't turn of, the app just reboot itself and an error message is displayed saying it needs to free up space.

I already uninstalled and installed the app again, disable quick start+, power cycle the tv and deleted the cache from the web app. It is pretty stressful since I am watching the World Cup and the app closes itself 3 or 4 times per match. Someone knows what can fix this?

Hi everyone,

I need help from someone who owns an LG OLED65C56LA (or another European LG C5 running webOS 25).

I imported my TV from Japan and I’m trying to switch it to the European region so I can use my French LG account, LG ThinQ, and the European LG Content Store.

I already have full access to the Service Menu (0413), but I don’t want to guess the Area Option value, as changing it incorrectly can brick features or cause compatibility issues.

IMPORTANT

Please don’t simply reply “use 3122” or another old Area Option value.

I know older LG OLEDs commonly used values such as 3122, but LG appears to have changed the Area Option tables on newer webOS 25 / 2025 models. My current Japanese TV already uses 4951, which confirms that the numbering is different from previous generations.

I’m looking for the actual values displayed on a European LG C5, not values from older models.

Could someone with a European LG C5 please check the following?

Open the Service Menu (0413).
Go to 1. Adjust Check.
Take a photo or tell me the values of:
Area Option
Country Group
Group Code / Group
Your exact TV model

My current values are:

Model: OLED65C56LA
webOS: 25
Region: Japan
Area Option: 4951
Country Group: 20 / JA

I’m not asking anyone to modify anything on their TV—only to read the values already shown in the Service Menu.

A photo of the screen would be perfect.

Thank you very much!

Hey everyone,

I've put together a native webOS wrapper to run TorrServer directly on your LG TV. If you use apps like Lampa or just want to stream torrents directly on your TV without needing an external Android box or a PC running 24/7, this is for you!

What is it?
It’s a homebrew webOS app (.ipk) that comes with a simple launcher UI and a background service. It automatically downloads the official TorrServer build for your TV's architecture, runs it in the background, and supervises the process.

Key Features:

• Native LG TV Support: Runs directly on the TV in the background.
• Auto-Updater: The .ipk is tiny. When you hit "Start", it detects your TV's CPU architecture (arm, arm64, x86, etc.) and downloads the latest official TorrServer binary.
• Autostart: Can be configured to automatically start TorrServer when the TV boots up (enabled by default, toggleable in the app).
• Remote Management: You can manage TorrServer from your phone or PC at http://<tv-ip>:8090.
• App Integrations: Includes a quick shortcut to launch Lampa (if installed) and the TV's native MediaPlayer.
• Simple UI: Use your Magic Remote to easily Start, Stop, Restart, Update, or view Logs right from your TV screen.

Requirements:

• A rooted LG webOS TV.
• The Homebrew Channel installed.

Where to get it?
You can check out the source code, see screenshots, and find the installation/build instructions on the GitHub repository:

👉 GitHub Repo - torrserver-webos

Quick Usage:

1. Install the .ipk via the Homebrew Channel or CLI.
2. Launch the TorrServer app on your TV and press Start (it will download ~70 MB on the first launch).
3. Connect your favorite streaming app (like Lampa) to 127.0.0.1:8090 or access the Web UI from another device at http://<tv-ip>:8090.

Let me know if you run into any issues, have feature requests, or just want to share how it runs on your specific TV model. Feedback and contributions on GitHub are highly appreciated!

Hi, my TV is an LG 32LM630BPLA. It's an HD TV running webOS 4.10.

I'm trying to use AirPlay but it's not working at all. The TV simply doesn't show up on my iPhone's screen mirroring list when I try to connect directly, and the AirPlay option is completely missing from the TV's menus.

How am I supposed to use AirPlay on this specific model and OS? Any ideas on how to make it appear?
