IPTV not working on LG TV
IPTV app not working on an LG webOS TV? Fix playlist loading, activation, black screens and sound with these LG-specific steps.
Quick answer
On an LG TV, unplug the TV for a minute, update webOS and the IPTV app, re-upload or refresh the playlist, check the app's activation date, turn off Quick Start+ if the app loads old data, and set sound to PCM if channels are silent.
LG webOS IPTV apps share the same patterns as Samsung's: playlists added through a website and a yearly app activation.
Fixes
- Power cycle: unplug the TV for 60 seconds.
- Turn off Quick Start+ in General settings; it keeps apps in memory and can hold old data.
- Update webOS and the app.
- Refresh the playlist or upload it again on the app's website.
- Check activation in the app's info screen.
- Sound: set digital sound output to PCM.
