RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - Dr_Brooks - 2024-02-11
Why do people keep filling this thread with questions that have already been answered multiple times? Learn to use the search function people. And why do they keep trying to do things with a broken beta expecting it to work well? Wait until Beta 3 releases, then give it another try. The devs are busy at work trying to fix it.

Has there been any progress on this point? I didn't find any issues to track on GitHub. Is this even possible?
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - sundermann - 2024-02-17
@edo-26: It's certainly possible but it requires reverse engineering the whole part on how to interact with the widevine stuff and so on. Right now, I'm not looking into it.

@Zer7: Unfortunately your TV has the cursed k5lp SoC. That one is known to be broken for unknown reasons.
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - remember5n - 2024-02-18
This is either a weird bug or just me not knowing much about Linux, but I have a external SSD that I plugged in to the TV's USB port (it's an LG C2, if that's important). Everything seemed to work fine until yesterday when Kodi would see only a few files left out of my entire collection, and these files are basically corrupted, they can't be run, can't be downloaded from webos dev manager, nothing, they're basically metadata. And these files will show up even when I unplug the SSD..
The location I used to scan to get the files was tmp/usb/sda/sda1. This location, with the few corrupted files/metadata/whatever you want to call it stays visible even when the SSD is unplugged. If I plug it back in, it creates a new folder sdb/sdb1, where I reckon the files should be. But they're not, the folder is completely empty. So my question is if anybody knows where the files are now, because they're not in tmp/usb, but the LG internal player seems to get them from somewhere (the internal players works fine).

@remember5n: LG's sandboxing is buggy with usb drives. It might work if you reboot your TV whilst the usb device is plugged in but it might also just fail randomly. The only reliable way to mount a usb device is if your TV is rooted you can mount it manually yourself
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - Razor9999 - 2024-02-19
Just a question, I tried searching on the thread but to no avail. I’m currently running Kodi on my LG oled connected by eARC to a Onkyo AVR, same configuration as my ps5 and Xbox where Dolby atmos / basic 5.1 are working fine, but I can’t figure out how to enable passthrough audio. If I switch it on it just make no sound at all, the AVR just get a 2.0 signal. There are some settings on the tv / Kodi app that I should check?

@Razor9999
Kodi settings > system > at the bottom make sure you switch from standard to expert > now go to the audio section and enable the Passthrough for the formats your system supports. I recommend enabling transcoding as well.
If you experience some videos or formats not having any sound it’s worth checking the audio section of the LG TV settings and then go to additional settings and switch the digital audio output from Passthrough to Automatic and try the video again.
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - Razor9999 - 2024-02-19
Thank you for your answer.
I already had the tv audio output set up that way, my current configuration is:
Audio output ALSA default
Number of channel: 5.1 (can’t see option for height speakers in the list, so no 5.1.2)
Output configuration best match
Stereo upmix off
Keep audio device alive always
Allow passthrough
Output starfish (only option available)
Dolby digital on
DD+ on
And in the player option I turned off sync playback to display.
The AVR still display the incoming source as a 2.0 PCM, and I have no audio on any movie unless I disable passthrough.
Any possibile idea?
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - sundermann - 2024-02-19
I think we've had some reports that passthrough wasn't working on webOS 4. Can't confirm personally due to lack of such a device
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - Razor9999 - 2024-02-19
@sundermann actually I’m on webos 5.4.1 right now
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - SoulReaver - 2024-02-20
@Razor9999
Can you try setting it to 2.0 channels and enable transcoding as well? Maybe it makes a difference.
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - Razor9999 - 2024-02-20
@SoulReaver
Switching to 2.0 channels finally revealed the transcoding option (it was hidden when set on 5.1), but I still don’t get any sound when passthrough is on.
This is my actual configuration on the app and tv:

https://ibb.co/fDMDT6Z
https://ibb.co/JC8cHYF
https://ibb.co/51s7vWR
https://ibb.co/StRwHz1
The AVR is showing the signal as the usual PCM 2.0, I tried with different movie sources both 5.1, 7.1 and atmos.
I found a similar case in another forum (but not Kodi on webOS) and in that case turning off the option for Dolby Digital Plus capable Receiver worked for the user, but it did nothing for me.
RE: Kodi on LG Web OS - SoulReaver - 2024-02-20
@Razor9999
Do you get audio when setting digital audio output to PCM or Passthrough in the LG TV settings?
Settings do actually look fine to me though so I’m not sure why you’re not getting any audio in this case.
