Android programs for lg smart tv. Applications for lg smart tv. Download, install and remove. Installing a widget from LG Apps TV

I thought for a long time about how to start this article, but then I realized that this is not an essay, but an instruction :) Therefore, let’s get straight to the point!

In this article I will show you how to set up the technology DLNA, (on LG TVs it is called Smart Share) and directly from your TV access movies, photos and music that are on your computer. This is a very useful feature. And if you have a TV that supports network connection and DLNA technology, then you should definitely take advantage of it.

For example: Do you have a movie or photos on your computer that you would like to view from your TV? How to do it? Yes, you can, for example, use an HDMI cable to connect a TV to a computer, but it will just be like a monitor, and there may not be a cable.

You can also download the movie to a flash drive, connect it to the TV and start the movie. Yes, but here you need a flash drive, you need to copy information. It’s much easier to go from the TV to a folder on your computer and just start a movie from there, or look at photos.

Before we start setting up, I want to briefly tell you what DLNA and Smart Share are.

DLNA(in its own words) is a technology that allows devices that are connected to the same network and support DLNA technology to exchange media content (video, photo, music).

Now, almost all devices support DLNA technology: computers, TVs, smartphones, game consoles, etc.

Smart Share is a proprietary application (technology) of LG. If you can say so, then this is a kind of shell for working with DLNA. Other TV manufacturers call these programs differently. U Samsung - AllShare. SONY – VAIO Media Server.

For example: You can watch photos on your TV that are on your smartphone. I will write about this in one of the following articles. This article is strictly dedicated to setting up DLNA between a computer (laptop, no difference) and TV. Let me remind you that the TV must be able to connect to the network.

Setting up DLNA (Smart Share) between PC and TV

We need (required) that our TV and computer (I have a laptop) be connected to the same network. What does it mean? This means that both the TV and the computer must be connected to the same router.

It doesn't matter how they are connected. The TV can be connected via Wi-Fi ( how to connect read this article), and . The computer is the same. For example, my TV and laptop are connected to the router via a wireless network.

This can even be done using standard Windows Media Player. Despite the fact that this method has a small disadvantage, we will still consider it.

Setting up DLNA using Windows Media

Just launch Windows Media Player (look for it in the Start menu), click on the tab Flow and check the boxes next to two items:

Allow remote control of the player...
Automatically allow devices to play my media...

This is all. You can already go to the Smart Share menu on your TV (in case of LG TV) and watch all media files that are located in shared folders: Music, Videos and Images.

Add your movie folder to Windows Media Player

If you configure the server via Windows Media, then only standard folders with videos, music and images will be displayed on the TV. And the contents will accordingly be reflected only from these folders. In order not to copy the necessary movies and other files to these standard folders, we can add the folders we need to the library, and they will appear on the TV. I was told how to do this in the comments.

Open Windows Media Player and click on the button on the left Will organize. Hover over Library management and according to what media content you want to add, select Music library, Video, or Gallery. For example, I want to add a folder with movies, so I select Video.

In the new window, click on the button Add. Select the desired movie folder on your computer (in my case), select it and click Add folder.

In the list you will see all added and standard folders. You can add more, or select the one you need and delete.

All movies or other files that are in the folders that you added to the library should appear on your TV in the DLNA server created by the standard player.

This method is very convenient, as it does not require the installation of special programs.

Setting up Smart Share

Almost every TV manufacturer has a proprietary computer program that allows you to configure access to files (I wrote about this at the beginning of the article). In the case of LG TVs, this program is called LG Smart Share for PC.

We need to download and install this program. You can download from the official LG website (if you have a different TV, then look for similar programs on the manufacturers’ websites). The program is located at the link.

For some reason, from the official website this program loaded very slowly for me. Therefore, I downloaded it from another site. Here I post it on my website - . Version 2.1.1309.1101 (maybe already outdated). It's better to download from the official website.

To install just run the file setup.exe, which is located in the archive, in the folder LG Smartshare PC SW DLNA. The installation is simple, so I will skip this process.

After starting the program, select one of the items: Movie, Photo, Music (for setting up the program, this is not important).

Let’s go straight to the settings; to do this, click on the button in the upper right corner Options.

And in the first window, immediately set the switch to position ON(On) .

Go to the next tab My shared files. This is the most important point.

Here we need to add the folders that we want to allow sharing from the TV.

Just click on the folder button (see screenshot below), and select the desired folders whose contents you want to view on the TV. Click Ok for confirmation. Then click the button Apply. The process of adding a folder will begin. If there are a lot of files, the process can take a long time. We wait.

After this, our folder will appear in the list of available ones.

This completes the setup of the Smart Share program. If you want, then on the tab My device settings, you can also change the name of the device that will be displayed on the TV.

That's it, the program window can be closed, it will now work quietly and appear on the notification panel. Also, after restarting the computer, the service will start automatically until you turn it off in the settings where you turned it on.

Setting up DLNA on TV (LG Smart Share)

On TV we just go to Smart TV and select Smart Share (unfortunately, I don’t know how to do this on other TVs, or in models without Smart TV).

Go to the tab Connected device. We already have two DLNA servers there. The one in the form of Windows Media Player is a server created in a standard player (first method). You can open it and view the files.

The second DLNA server is the one we created in the Smart Share program. That's what we need. Let's open it.

We see the available folders. To open our folder to which we have opened access, go to the folder All folders.

Open it and run the file we need. In my case, a movie.

That's all! Settings are complete!

Update

If you have any problems with setup, with the Smart Share program, or you, for example, have a different TV, then I have prepared an article on how to set up a DLNA server using the Home Media Server program (UPnP, DLNA, HTTP )". Which we have already talked about more than once in the comments. Here are the instructions -.

Afterword

The article turned out to be long, but this thing can be set up much faster. You only need to configure it once. Then we simply add new files to open folders.

You can run DLNA on multiple computers or other devices. The main thing is that they are connected to the same network.

Best wishes!

Namely... about the capabilities of lg smart TV.

In versions of lg smart tv with webOS functionality, it is possible to download third-party applications for watching TV programs via the Internet.

Of course, lg smart tv already has such capabilities, but it makes sense to consider other possibilities.

And so, Torrent TV.

Torrent technologies allow you not only to download files, but also to watch live online broadcasts on your computer and TV! For this purpose, the portal “First Torrent Television” was created.

All online broadcasts are provided by a P2P network consisting of many users who watch the same channels. This method of viewing has many advantages, the main one is watching broadcasts without interruptions!

Thanks to the many users of the P2P network, the servers are not overloaded; all traffic is distributed between the users of the P2P network themselves. Thanks to this, this portal is not afraid of overloads and is able to withstand any sporting event!

Watching torrent television on LG smart TVs is possible using any third-party player (video player) that supports playlists, using local or server TS-Proxy.

You simply load the playlist (or download it from a link) into the video player and switch channels from the playlist list. The work takes place through a proxy, which acts as a “bridge to the p2p network”.

Main features of the official Torrent TV application:

Watching TV channels;
viewing TV archive;
management of favorite channels;
TV program;
TV guide;
support for local and server TS-Proxy;
support for webOS TVs;
personal account, personal settings, etc.

You can download the widget here:

Instructions for installing the official Torrent-TV application on webOS TVs:

1. Unpack the contents of the torrent_lg.zip archive to your hard drive.
2. Copy the “developer” folder to the root of the USB flash drive.
3. Connect the USB flash drive to the USB connector of the TV.
4. When the message about connecting a new USB device appears, click Cancel.
5. You will find the widget by pressing the Smart button on the remote control, among the small icons in the ninth position.
6. If the widget does not start, check your account authorization on TV by going to the menu - general - account management.

Simple Smart IPTV

Simple Smart IPTV is a free application for LG TVs with the webOS operating system, designed for viewing streaming video.

SS IPTV today is a dynamically developing platform, an entertainment center inside your TV. IPTV from hundreds of content operators, broadcast channels, videos from social networks, cloud services and video hosting sites - all this is available to our users with the capabilities of one single application!

The application only provides access to content supplied by the IPTV operator (usually your Internet provider). If this service is paid, all mutual settlements between the IPTV operator and the user are carried out without our participation.

If you do not have your own IP television operator or you could not find one in the list of supported providers, you can use the services of any OTT operator whose video streams are compatible with the LG Smart TV platform and independently download its playlist to our application.

All content posted in the Open TV section (exclusively in agreement with the copyright holder) is provided completely free of charge.

Specifically, like here: http://ss-iptv.com/ru/provideram

Let me remind you the point: the Application is installed directly on your TV with Smart TV technology, thus eliminating the need to purchase additional expensive equipment.

Kind of like a thought about everything I think about smart applications.

Now SS IPTV- the most dynamically developing among free widgets with the most adequate creators.
Peers TV— at first they were adequate, but now it has become simply impossible to use their product.
Comfortable TV- quiet horror. There is no other way to say it. Both their widget and their portal itself.
ott player— initially had a very good idea to organize a centralized storage of playlists for various devices.
The situation was aggravated by problems with their portal, without which the functioning of the player is impossible in principle.
ForkPlayer- not a bad idea. Functionality is up to par. But the appearance needs some work. The impression is spoiled by the linking of some of the functionality to their portal, the protection of which causes outright laughter.

So, the choice is yours!

However, if the TV is completely broken, you can also use the computer!

To watch online TV through a web player you need:

1. OS Windows and Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browser;
2. Install the Ace Stream Media (TorrentStream) plugin; Download here... http://acestream.org/
3. Restart the browser.

You can always download the latest version of Ace Stream Media on the official website of the developer http://acestream.org

Attention!
When installing the plugin, be sure to set the directory for downloading videos, since the default drive is “C”, and the videos you watch will be automatically downloaded to the directory specified during installation. It is recommended to leave the directory for installing the plugin itself unchanged.

After installing the plugin, you must restart your browser! In rare cases, you may need to restart your computer! Watching online TV broadcasts will begin only after clicking on the “Play” button and after 100% buffering!

Attention!
If, while watching an online torrent broadcast, you observe a complete stop of the image and the beginning of the buffering process, we recommend increasing the Live buffer size.

To do this, right-click on the Ace Stream tray icon, select the “Options…” menu item in the menu that appears, enter the desired Live buffer size in seconds in the appropriate field. We do not recommend setting the buffer to less than 10 seconds or more than 60.

Attention!
During testing of broadcasts on the First Torrent Television website, it is necessary that “Login” and “Password” be specified in the Ace Stream Media settings test Do not change these values after registering on the portal.

After testing is completed, we will additionally inform you of your username and password for the TS plugin! In order to check the current values of the username and password, select the “Options...” menu item and look at the value of the “Username” and “Password” fields.

The concept of this plugin supports the basic ideology of P2P and the plugin options for this purpose include a parameter for determining the sending/distribution speed. Sending video is supported both while watching the broadcast, if you have a free Internet channel, and after, if you do not forcefully disable the plugin.

After installing the AceStream distribution, open your browser and go to the broadcast page. To watch videos in your browser, follow a few simple steps:

If you are using the Chrome browser:
1. Click on the icon of the blocked AceStream plugin in the address bar of your browser.
2. Select “Always allow modules for the site torrent-tv.ru”
3. Click on the “Done” button
4. Reload the page

If you are using the Firefox browser:

1. Under your browser's address bar, click the Allow button.

2. Select “Allow and remember” next to Ace Stream P2P Multimedia
3. Click on the "OK" button
4. Reload the page

Good luck, Friends!

IPTV is an excellent opportunity to watch television channels in high quality and completely free. Owners of LG smart TVs often wonder how to watch iptv on an LG smart TV for free. I will try to give two answers to this question in this short review.

Installing the application
Installing the applicationSS IPTV;

Both of these options, in principle, make it possible to watch channels for free; decide for yourself which one will be more convenient for you personally. I will try to indicate in this article all the nuances of each application for viewing channels.

How to set up iptv on smart tv on lg smart tv:SSIPTV

You can watch channels over an Internet connection using the application SSIPTV, of course, if you are the happy owner of an LG smart TV. All that is required from you is a playlist with channels and proper setup of the TV itself, and of course connecting the TV to the Internet. If you have already started using your smart TV, then you know that first you need to register an account, confirm it by email and enter the data in the TV interface. This way you will be able to use all its capabilities.

As soon as you have connected the Internet to the TV and logged in to the smart TV, the LG Store application store will become available to you, where you can find SSIPTV. When you click on the corresponding application icon, click download and wait until it is installed on your TV. Launching SSIPTV, you will see a menu, here you need to go to settings. In the settings, select “download playlist”.

As soon as the list with channels, the playlist, is loaded, the “my playlist” section will appear on the main screen of the application; by opening it, you can see the full list of available TV programs.

How to watchIPTVon TVLG Smart TVfree with appVinteratv

With Vintera tv everything is much simpler; this application already has a ready-made list of channels, that is, you don’t have to download the playlist. The choice here is of course smaller, but it is quite enough for most users.

There is nothing complicated in terms of installation and use either. Just search for Vintera tv in LG Store, download, install and enjoy watching. The main thing to remember is that your LG TV must be connected to the Internet at all times.

The ForkPlayer application for LG TVs that support the Smart TV function is extremely popular among users today. This is due to the fact that through this widget you will get access to a huge number of TV channels absolutely free, and you will also be able to watch movies, videos and listen to music from the Internet or any device that is connected to the TV or is part of the home network.

In principle, all this is available without the ForkPlayer application. These capabilities can be provided to you by other programs that are initially available on the Smart TV, or additionally downloaded and installed. However, for all of the above you will need to install several programs at once. ForkPlayer contains all these features and you will not need to switch from one widget to another.

ForkPlayer 2.5 for Smart TV

At the moment, the most modern version of the ForkPlayer program is version 2.5, which was released back in 2014. In the near future, there is a possibility that an application update will be released that will make working with files, managing and installing the widget through DNS changes easier and more user-friendly.

Previously, most users had the ForkPlayer 2.0 application installed for Smart TV. Compared to it, version 2.5 added the following:

You can create tabs that allow you to save information when you exit the program. In order for them to start working, you need to go to settings and select “Initial group”. There you should enable the option “Continue work from the same place”;
While searching for data, its process is visible. Therefore, if you find the file you need, you can stop the search by pressing the Return button;
You can customize the program for yourself, set the brightness, color and background image;
A more convenient navigation bar that allows you to return to the previous section by clicking on a specific button;
When loading data, a green bar is visible indicating the loading process.

Installation via DNS change

On TVs from LG that support the Smart TV function, there are several ways to do this, and setting up by changing DNS is one of them. In this case, you should take into account the year of manufacture of the TV and its operating system. Depending on these nuances, the setup instructions will differ.

First way

So, if you have a Smart TV from LG running on or Netcast, which was released from 2010 to the present day, the instructions for setting up by changing DNS will be as follows.

Go to the TV menu on WebOS;
Go to the tab responsible for setting up the Smart TV connection to the Internet;
Select “DNS Server”;
In the window that appears, enter one of the DNS addresses below. It is worth considering that depending on the DNS address, a specific program will be launched. So, if you enter 85.17.30.89, the ForkPlayer program itself will launch. If you enter the DNS address 217.79.190.156, the unofficial ForkStore will launch, where the application will be.
If you entered DNS 217.79.190.156, then in the window that appears you will need to go to the “Premium” section. In it you can find and launch Russia Television, First Automobile, Radio or vTuner.

Second way

If you have an LG Netcast Smart TV with the WebOS or Netcast operating system version 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 or 4.5, then the process of installing the widget by changing the DNS will be as follows:

To make working with the application more convenient, install Remote ForkPlayer on your computer, laptop or smartphone and activate RemoteFork in the TV settings.

DNS for LG Smart TV

If you decide to install the program by changing the DNS, then you must take into account that not every address may be suitable for you and your Smart TV model. In general, to configure the correct operation of the program, you can try to register the following DNS:

46.36.222.114;
46.36.218.194;
46.36.220.208;
5.101.118.43;
85.17.30.89.

To make closed sections that can only be opened through DNS replacement more convenient when working with them, you can go to Smart TV and connect RemoteFork. You will also need to install the Remote ForkPlayer program on your computer. This will make working with the application much more convenient.

Installation from a flash drive

You can install ForkPlayer not only by changing the DNS, but also from a flash drive, but you should keep in mind that the content will be limited. To get full access, you will need to install Remote ForkPlayer on your computer or other device and run it. In this case, the Remote ForkPlayer option will need to be launched in the Smart TV settings.

Method No. 1

So, if you need to install a widget from a ForkPlayer flash drive on an LG TV with the WebOS operating system, you will need to perform the following steps:

On the flash drive itself, you need to unpack the archive downloaded from http://obovse.ru/forkplayer/lg_forkplayer.rar;
Log in to your account on LG Smart TV;
Connect a USB flash drive to the TV;
As soon as Smart TV detects it, press the house button on the remote control and scroll to the right until you find the widget in the Launcher list;
Launch the application. For full access, enable Remote ForkPlayer on your computer and activate RemoteFork on your TV.

Method No. 2

If your LG Smart TV has Netcast OS and was released between 2010 and 2013, you must follow these instructions:

Unpack the rar archive on a flash drive and connect it to the LG Smart TV by logging into your account, as in the previous option;
After this, you will need to go to “My Applications”, which are located in the bottom right corner;
Select the “My applications on USB” section;
Launch the application stored on the flash drive;
To get full access, you need to install and run Remote ForkPlayer on your laptop or other device, and also activate the RemoteFork option.

If the TV with Smart TV does not see your device, then try formatting the flash drive or take another one.

All modern TVs of this brand run on the LG Webos operating system, which already has such popular applications and widgets installed as Skype, weather forecast, dollar exchange rate, and so on. Since each user has his own preferences, this list can be adjusted.

In simple terms, widgets are applications aimed at performing a specific action. With their help you can significantly expand the capabilities of your TV. Previously, to watch digital television from Rostelecom or any other operator, you had to connect to the service. Now you can enjoy watching your favorite TV channels just by installing the right application.

Important: do not be afraid to install a large number of them, since only its shortcut is stored in the internal memory of the device. The program itself is located on the developers' virtual servers.

Download, install and uninstall

You can download applications for the LG Smart TV either from their official store, which is located in the menu (LG Apps TV), or from a third-party resource. It is worth noting that programs downloaded from an unknown source can cause irreparable harm to the device, including its failure.

The programs located in the company's official store have been thoroughly tested, so they are not dangerous and are 100% functional. Here you can also find widgets that allow you to watch television without connecting additional services or installing an antenna. The undisputed leader in this area is Rostelecom. She developed the “Fun” application for LG TVs, containing 120 digital channels.

Methods for installing widgets

You can install the TV application in one of the following ways:

by downloading from the official store;
from a flash drive.

Installing a widget from LG Apps TV

After selecting a specific widget, you need to make sure that it is suitable for the current version of Webos tv. To do this, go to the settings of your TV and select the desired item. If the software meets the requirements, you can proceed to install the widget. To do this, you just need to click on the “Install” button and wait for the process to complete.

Installing an application from a USB flash drive

You can download applications downloaded from a third-party resource onto a TV from a web OS only if it has a special program, for example, Simple Smart IPTV. The process of installing widgets from a flash drive will be as follows:

Insert the USB flash drive into the TV port and activate My Apps.
Click on the icon that appears in the upper right corner and select the one you need from the list of applications that opens.

After this, the installation process will begin.

How to remove an application from Lg SMART TV

Despite the fact that installed applications occupy a minimum of the TV’s internal memory, sometimes they still have to be deleted. As a rule, the user begins to think about how to delete an application at the moment when all installed widgets do not fit on one page. In this case, deleting will speed up access to the remaining programs.

You can remove them in one of three ways:

Go to the application menu and select the one you want to remove. Drag it to the top right corner until the prompt “Drag here to delete” appears.
On the Applications page, click the "Edit" button. It's in the upper right corner. Select the widget to be deleted. Next, from the possible list of actions, select “Delete”.
