baja280 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Been using this driver for a month now, actually did some beta testing. Using it on a big commercial project with over 10 LG TV,s and it is awesome. Using it at home and in the show room as well.

annex⁴ Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 This driver is made to a public API LG has published so this is made to a working and fully documented API, no issues with functionality disappearing or not being there due to the driver being built based on packet sniffing or anything of that nature.

turls Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Ok, so the list of supported TVs is pretty small, what is the chance that if an LG TV has WebOS 3.0, its supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the TV has the Mobile TV on setting the driver should work. There may even be some webos 2.0 TVs that work as I have heard a few have the setting also. The list is just what has been seen so far, that is why it says known working. There is a 21 day trial but every TV tried so far has worked provided it has the "mobile TV on" setting THEORY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annex⁴ Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 If the TV has the mobile TV on setting then 99% chance it will work. We have heard of some people having WOL issues not with the LG but with other devices. That would be the only reason the driver will not work. I just did a WebOS 2.0 TV with a dealer so I can confirm that some of those exist also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annex⁴ Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 We now have mini drivers for UK apps Amazon UK BBC iPlayer Now TV We have also included a property to set the volume level upon turning the TV off. Watching Netflix tends to require higher levels of volume so if the TV was turned off when Netflix was last watched the volume can be extremely loud when the TV is turned on again. This property solves that issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annex⁴ Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 It seems a few have been trying to use the driver with WebOS 2.0 TVs, although the driver works and the API is the exact same. The WebOS 2.0 TVs do not seem to have the QuickStart Option the WebOS 3.0 TVs have, without this there is a 30-40 second delay upon startup before the TV will take a command. The driver has not failed on any WebOS 3.0 TVs setup so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy230 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Can I use this driver for my 2015 lg tvs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annex⁴ Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 You can but so far it seems the WebOS 2.0 TVs do not have the Quick Start Option which means after power on there is about a 30 second delay before it will accept a command. So you can but really it's only good in a scenario where you have a receiver, or where you only need power on and off from the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy230 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 That's pretty much what I need. Power on off in 2 rooms and power and volume in 3 rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Lowe Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Driver First thoughts Easy setup process great instructions Great feedback from the tv, and numerous features. with in about 20 minutes time i had setup 20 LG web OS 3.0 tv's on our show room floor, and they turn on in sync turn off, give pop up messages of the garage door status and have a neat input sensing function that may be great for older customers or customers with kids. Overall great driver solid features, and really what every tv driver should be! annex⁴ and Thatguy230 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StroTek LLC Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The input sensing to me is probably the greatest part, I have a customer who insists on using his tivo remote, and then the TV gets out of sync with inputs I really do love this driver annex⁴ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
