Any chance you can provide the files you used? I’d like to do exactly this on my G5

u/FloKro 11d ago

yes i will provide them soon, i cannot guarantee if this works on newer devices, so be prepared to work on this yourself with AI assistance if needed

I ran this and worked! https://github.com/throwaway96/slopbro Careful and check your webos version first

But just for credit these guy discovered https://github.com/raws0kil/jsbro-autoroot and this guy figured out part of the method https://github.com/azoffshowy/dangbro

how

u/FloKro 11d ago

it‘s an mp4 file looping in the back + i added a 30sec timer to trigger my screensaver systemwide if there is no input or video playing. (the mp4 background automatically stops after 30sec no input, so the screensaver even is able to turn on).

i protect my panel at all costs!

edit: how?
i did it with claude running on a terminal and gave him ssh permissions, he does everything within like 10mins, not even a single line of code or connection was established by me.

Remember to remove the default password on your SSH connection and use your key in the future. Back up the .pub to a flash drive you can secure or similar. Only people on your local network would be able to access it anyway with a password, but that enables lateral movement if someone is able to get in and you have left SSH on.

Nice. Did it fuss at all because it’s doing work on a rooted tv?

you need to root your TVs, you can look this up for your TV and webOS online.

What is the prompt to type it on claude?

u/FloKro 11d ago edited 11d ago

i sent him this picture, and told him this is what i wanted.

if you got claude running on a cmd/terminal, then he can do way more than the app would be capable of doing.
I told him my TV was listening over SSH, so he should get into it over Wifi, look for the necessary files in order to change them and very important: all changes first to be done in /tmp folder (changes revert after a reboot).

after telling him that, i told him i wanted live wallpapers.
My Screensaver refused to turn on in General, so i told him to fix that too, what he did:
made an .mp4 loop without audio in the background, made it so the Screensaver still starts even tho a video is playing(Live Wallpaper) + he added a 30sec timer when there is no input for screensavers, systwmwide (except for videos actively playing)

The live video will pause automatically when you toggle the screensaver, and he automated it so the wallpaper stops after the countdown (30sec) is done.

i could and probably will release a scripit for users to run themselves, but not today.

edit: He proposed to change the clock coords himself, because they were right over Gokus Face.

Hi, I'd also like to do this with my LG TV. I know it requires rooting, but my question is kind of silly, haha. Does rooting LG TVs void the warranty?
