Anecdotally, WebOS survives on TVs.
I love my LG webos TV, overall I find the experience better than on my previous TV powered by Android..
Except that WebOS can't read mkv files and VLC is not available either :/
It is sad how app support can kill the usefulness of an US
- Diederich 9y agoMy LGTV definitely can play .mkv files (much to my surprise). We bought it last Christmas, and it's running WebOS 4. It's model OLED55B7A
- on_and_off 9y agoMine is OLED65C7P, which should be pretty much the same software wise. So : - maybe I am doing it wrong ? I doubt it since it should be pretty straightforward to plugin a HDD, click on video / watch. - IIRC mkv is just a container, it might be that we are just playing different formats.
- mikeryan 9y agoVideo codec support isn't WebOS's job. Different TVs have different hardware profiles, different rendering pipelines and can support different codecs. That being said according to this https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/f32a955 https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/f32a955 MKV should be supported. I've got a similar TV and MKV works on mine.
- fragmede 9y agoGiven TVs these days, it's also possible the firmware version you have is missing mkv support.
- sbalea 9y agoMy LG OLED65B7P can definitely play .mkv files, at least ones encoded with H264 and H265. Not sure about other codecs though.
