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 and Samsung Tizen and now we are ready to present to you a preview of the webOS application! Just like the Vizio and Samsung version…

I could see the number of apps being an issue, but I haven’t installed many beyond what came with the TV. Besides, the Plex beta is the only app I have a problem with, and only while it’s running. I don’t know anything about webOS, but it would have to be a pretty screwy OS to kill off an app to sav…

I will leave it to your Hypothesis. It works perfectly fine for me in AU with a 2018 LG OLED. You do know the app works remotely and all you see is a loader. Hence the description WebOS. If your getting a memory issue,cache etc is not getting cleared. I do not use quick start! Or worse case, Unin…

I got two big problems with the app right now: The dasboard is all messed up. Many episodes are shown as not watched while I already watched them therefore the dashboard looks conmpletly different than in the browser or the android and windows app. it only shows series which I already watched mon…

Just tested here. Unusable. It transcode every single video. Even if its selected original quality everywhere. Tested with 1080p and 720p videos on h264 and audio AC3 and AAC. With SRT subtitles. Every video and audio is transcoded. I’m accessing localy on my network. Tv: LG OLED65C9PUA OS: WebOS …

Can you add the Server version and are files mkv or mp4 containers?

Sorry. The files are MKV and playing from Synology DS918+ with plex media server 1.20.0.3133

Did another test with 4k HDR movie with TrueHD 7.1 and SRT subtitle. On the both interface it transcode everything, but video to 1080p 21Mbps and audio to AAC 5.1 768kbps on the old one. With the preview, it transcode to 4k 82Mbps and audio ro EAC3 7.1 1Mbps.

All 4K titles I just use DLNA and works flawlessly

I think for DLNA you don’t use the plex player from TV. Which is the whole point of this topic.

The app has limitations, I grant. It’s been a long time reported. I rather just watch when I can.
