Getting started
From the project's README ("Install"):
You need a Mac, the TV on the same network, and an LG developer account for the TV's Developer Mode app.
- Mac setup
scripts/setup-webos.sh # npm install, webOS CLI 3.2.6, service dependencies scripts/check-environment.sh # reports missing tools; Xcode absence is expected
- Developer Mode on the TV
Install and open the Developer Mode app from the LG Content Store, sign in with your LG developer account, switch Developer Mode on, turn the Key Server on, and let the TV reboot. Note the IP address and the 6-character passphrase the app shows.
- Connect
scripts/connect-tv.sh <TVIP>
This registers the TV as the tv device and asks for the passphrase. If it fails, see docs/troubleshooting.md.
- Install
scripts/build-tv.sh # runs npm test, then builds build/.ipk scripts/install-tv.sh
- Use on the TV
Press Home, open V/TV Sleep, pick 30, 45, 60, 90 or a custom number of minutes. The screen shows when the TV will switch off and lets you cancel. Launching directly from the TV does not interrupt whatever is playing.
Other helper scripts: scripts/launch-tv.sh, scripts/test-tv.sh, scripts/logs-tv.sh.
Risk and recovery
- Brick risk
- Low
- Requires opening the device
- No
From the project's README ("Uninstalling"):
scripts/uninstall-tv.sh # removes the app and service from the TV rm -rf ~/.config/vtv # Mac credentials and pin Delete the iOS app from the phone, if installed, to remove its stored credentials. Turn Developer Mode off in the TV's Developer Mode app if you no longer need it.
