Getting started

From the project's README ("Usage"):

Prerequisites

  • TV and computer on the same network

  • LG Developer Mode enabled on the TV

  1. Enable Developer Mode

  2. On the TV, open the LG Content Store

  3. Search for and install Developer Mode

  4. Open the Developer Mode app and sign in with your LG account

  5. Enable Dev Mode Status (the TV will reboot)

  6. After reboot, re-open Developer Mode and enable Key Server

> [!TIP] > If your TV is stuck in EU: The LG Content Store requires a region-matching LG account to download apps. You may need to temporarily set your TV's country to a specific EU country (e.g., United Kingdom) in Settings, agree to the user agreement, then register a new LG account with a new email address to download the Developer Mode app. Once installed, you can sign into the Developer Mode app with either your new EU or original US LG account.

  1. Download the SSH Key

With Key Server enabled, run on your computer:

Run on computer wget http://<TVIP>:9991/webosrsa -O lgprivate.key chmod 600 lgprivate.key

  1. Copy Script and SSH In
