Option 1 — Developer Mode + webOS Dev Manager (easiest, works on any TV)

No rooting required. Dev Manager is a cross-platform GUI (macOS, Windows, Linux) — download the .ipk above and install it with a few clicks.

On the TV (one-time)

  1. Create a free developer account at https://webostv.developer.lge.com (sign in with an LG account).
