Questions about LG TV

Can I install APK files on an LG TV?

No. LG TVs run webOS, not Android, so only apps from the LG Content Store can be installed.

The app says my playlist is empty or will not load. What should I check?

Check that you pasted the whole M3U URL, with nothing cut off at either end, and that you used the MAC address (and for IBO Player Pro, the device key) your screen shows. Then restart the app. If it still will not load, contact support.

Why does the picture freeze or buffer?

Most often the home connection is the cause. Use a network cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Restart your router and your device, and check that you have at least 25 Mbps for 4K channels.
