Plex client for LG HU85LA (Projector) Web OS4

The plex client updated itself on the projector, 29th July. The client starts in a maximized view, with the menu options and icons supersized i.e. the scaling of the items is wrong. This makes navigation impossible The previous LG client version was 2.2.0 and this is no longer available. Cant find any mention in the forums on if and how to adjust client scaling.

Help appreciated

Edit: Was able to select leave early access and revert back to the 2.2.0 client.

Assuming the projectors like the TVs have a built-in browser, could you go to browsersize.com and post current values (Browser window size and Screen size).

The app is designed for a 1080p display, but will scale down to 720p automatically when the browser’s screen is 1280x720.

Browser size 1536x727
Screen Size 1920x1080

Plex through external devices connected via HDMI e.g. Apple TV4, Fire stick 4K works without any scaling issues.

I have the same issue and the same results as dnowbath.
I have 2 other LG TVs with no problem.

I gave up the plex on tv, it gets too big, I prefer xplay, I made a donation of 2 euros and now I can use without problems

I reinitialized to factory defaults and reloaded Plex. I can’t link Plex now because the Code is below the bottom of the screen.

I am able to change the zoom in the Web Browser, but it has no effect on Plex.

WebOS version 04.00.06, no updates available.

Is it zoomed by default?

It seems like webOS scales the app on projectors in someway that we haven’t accounted for.

Would either or both of you be able to load webOS Resolution Info and post the results?

Here you go

Thanks!
Was that zoomed in by default? (Looks like the browser is zoomed to 125%)
What you also be able to post a picture showing how the app looks? Trying to gauge how scaled it is.

Browser was zoomed to 125% changing to 100% has no effect


A bunch of before and after screenshots

Thank you for all of those, I think I see why it’s happening and should have a fix out for it next week.

Thank You!

I entered the URL in the browser and received an error message that “This debug view expired” .

If you used the original URL from the notification that’d happen, use the updated URL above, but at this point I think I have everything I need, for now at least.

Browser debug image, I have the zoom set at 100%.

Image of code screen. I can’t link my device because I can’t see or get to where the code would be below the bottom edge of the screen.

New early access client looks good! No scaling issues
