So I was switching to the official Plex App… looks nice, but has some major flaws: can´t use my magic remote to directly jump to a file position with my pointer, SUBTITLES don´t seem work at all, and most importantly - there is never a feedback from the developers here in the forum… So I tried Xplay and it does everything I want. For an easier overview, all following steps will be shown using the shell directly rather than via a Web App service. Works like a charm EXCEPT for one thing: subtitles… for whatever reason Smartshare can´t access and display subtitles. The LG webOS TV Emulator, which was mainly used for the dynamic parts of this project, grants developers the same type of unprivileged shell access to webOS as a third-party application has. In the past I simply used LGs SmartShare app to access local media and even the Plex Server via DLNA. So i´m stuck with an 2015 WebOS 1.4 LG TV and just setup my own Plex Server on a raspberry Pi 3…had Plex server on my Windows10 PC before but wanted an “always on” solution, the PC is wasting too much energy if “always on”. I´m absolutely delighted to see that somebody really cares about their users and the development of it´s own product… way to go !
