As you may have noticed, we’ve been working hard on a rewrite of the Plex application for our smart tv platforms. Following up the on the previews for [Vizio SmartCast](https://forums.plex.tv/t/try-out-our-new-vizio-smartcast-preview/586943) and [Samsung Tizen](https://forums.plex.tv/t/new-samsung-tizen-app-preview/603047) and now we are ready to present to you a preview of the webOS application!

Just like the Vizio and Samsung versions of the preview, this application has been rewritten from the ground up, taking advantage of WebGL for better performance.

This preview release should include much of the same features as the existing webOS application, but there are still a few features that are currently missing (like TIDAL and DVR scheduling) as we work towards feature parity. However, we did bring in some much-requested features as well like **Skip Intro** and a the **Live TV Guide**.

We will eventually be replacing the current Plex app that’s in the webOS store with this version once we’ve reached parity and ironed out the kinks. We’re looking for feedback and reports about functional issues with the preview app. Does anything not play as expected? Does a particular action cause a crash? Does clicking a button not perform the action? Is something not displayed on the screen correctly? While we’re certainly interested in feedback about UI/UX of our apps in general, this new preview app is intended to follow the same basic UI design of our other current (TV layout) apps.

**How to access the preview:**

- webOS 3, 4 and 5 UHD devices (webOS 2 devices are not supported at this time)
- Users will be automatically redirected to the preview one time when launching `4.29.9` or later for the first time.
- To opt-in manually, make sure you are on version `4.29.7` or later of the Plex app.
- Choose ‘Enable Early Access’ in the user options menu of the current app. If you want to return to the old app, select ‘Leave Early Access’ from the user options menu in the preview version of the app.
  - If you don’t see the option to enter early access, try restarting the app / TV and try again

**Known Issues / Limitations:**

- Subtitle sizes are different
- TV Show Theme Music
- Unable to change language / search term when searching for subtitles
- Preview images while seeking aren’t displayed
- Stopping a played episode doesn’t show the post-play screen unless you watch to the end of the file

**How to report issues:**

Please open a new thread using the `webos-preview` tag to ask questions or report issues with this preview. Please include the TV model and webOS TV Version. To find this, from Settings, All Settings, General, TV Information.
