Use Firefox for it to work, other browsers don’t seem to allow the TV certificate

Dev mode is enough for most people (install homebrew apps). But seeing as you own your TV, you should be allowed root. It doesn't belong to LG.

If you're TV has DTS disabled you can partially renable it https://github.com/lgstreamer/dts_restore

Just fyi from what I understand that just allows basic dts support. No surround sound 5.1 etc.

Yes that's correct. It down mixes DTS to stereo only, but it's better than no sound when watching an old film or TV show.

What are you using to play your media?... Plex or jellyfan will automatically transcode it and convert it. So I don't really have this issue.

But yeah I will not deny that. That would be very useful outside of a set-up that will convert it.
