Be sure you activated Direct Play, otherwise you are transcoding and it can produce freezing if your server is not powerful enough.
That setting is in WEB > Player settings. Isn't that for browser based use only?
Regardless, it was already on Direct Play / Direct Stream
Anyone else getting problems with movies freezing?
I seem to have fixed the issue.
For some reason still unknown, the TV has a problem with a wired LAN connection.
Connected through Wi-Fi the freezing issue is fixed.
- Why such poor quality posters from movies? On the computer the quality is excellent.
is this app hard coded to only look at port 32400?
I can not use this app its been two months no update doesnt connect, I can stream plex from cellular, and from work just fine, cant use the app on my tv though
TV offers entering a port IIRC
Might not be right place for this question, happy to have someone move it.
I'm trying to get ARC to work between LG TV WebOS and a Harman Kardon AMP.
I've had it work where sound for 10secs and then no sound for 10secs, any idea???
Ta
Willo
It is not, as mentioned before it searches the sub-network the TV is connected to for available servers.is this app hard coded to only look at port 32400?

I've managed to run the app with pierre's modifications. Now the movies play normaly, except the subtitles are cut off when a eastern europe character had to be displayed.
The subtitle shows normaly until the first letter like čćšđž is shown.
Then i tryed in the options menu to enable transcoding, but then the video doesn't start, for a sec it shows a log on the top of the screen then it fades off.
Any ideas why the transcoding is not working???
Hi guys. I think I have fixed the video playback and subtitle disable issues. I completely rewrote the player to a HTML5 video element according to the webOS API.
The downside is that I can't get alternative audio languages to work.
Check it at https://github.com/simonjhogan/PLAYz-Media-for-PLEX/pull/97
Player support for webOS Standard Web API
- Video playback working
- Controls working
- Subtitles working (with working Disable)
- Audio languages not working
- Buffering indicator added
- Misc. improvements

At a guess the html5 player doesn't support m3u8 streaming which is used by Plex for transcoding ...

I have installed the playz media application on my webos tv. It seems to work fine, all looks good plays files fine but it hasn't pulled through all the movies in my Plex Media Movie folder. Has anyone else got this issue?
Did you notifiy the two arrows on the side? You can brwose with them. Movies are being paged when displayed.

Didn't see them. Doh
So here is how i got it working:
1. downloaded the source from simon's git
2. downloaded the 4 edited files from pierre (here: https://github.com/simonjhogan/PLAYz-Media-for-PLEX/pull/97 )
3. extracted the zip from simon to C:\webOS_TV_SDK\CLI
4. now i have C:\webOS_TV_SDK\CLI\PLAYz-Media-for-PLEX-master and in this folder must be the content of the WebContent you downloaded ... where you have index.html, media.html .... and the folder system
5. I replaced the 4 files with pierre's files and added the file appinfo.json to the root (edit the "id": "com.LG.Playz" for example)
6. made the ipk file with the command: ares-package C:\webOS_TV_SDK\CLI\PLAYz-Media-for-PLEX-master
7. now i had my ipk
8. upload the ipk to LG developer site (add the icon)
9. for the type select File type Native> H15(webos) and for the main run file select your appinfo.json
10. download the DRM signed app
11. extract and add the app to the FAT32 formated USB with the directory structure as indicated in the guide
12. voila the app is running :)
