"You guys connect your TV to the internet?"
Yes, you'll pry my native jellyfin client from my cold dead hands. Also my rooted lg now has an awesome screensaver with hd nature footage that I love.
Oh you can root The LG TVs?
Can you tell me more?
Not really. I did mine years ago using the rootmy.tv site.
The biggest benefit is hyperion lighting. I have an esp32 plugged into the USB port on the back, driving leds that match the color of my content. https://github.com/TBSniller/piccap
It doesn't work on HDCP, but I only use the jellyfin app and hdmi input for my pc, both of which are great.
There's also a really good screensaver https://repo.webosbrew.org/apps/org.aabytt.webos.custom-screensaver-aerial/
Oh yeah this is all via webosbrew which is a homebrew app manager you install once rooted.
There's also a util that let's you rebind buttons on your remote which is handy
Absolutely legendary help.
Thank you.
I have a very old LG tv that has some decent screen burn now. I was hesitant to get another one because of the OS and advertising but this has locked me in.
