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.

@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.

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

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?

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?

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
