How to fix iBO Player on LG Smart TV (webOS)

LG TVs run webOS. Like Samsung, they can't install Android apps. Players come from the LG Content Store, and many use MAC-based activation.

Step 1: Test your line

Before resetting your LG Smart TV (webOS) or reinstalling iBO Player, confirm the provider's server is answering and see how many of your connections are in use.

Step 2: Fix iBO Player on LG Smart TV (webOS)

Re-enter your line in iBO Player

Open the app to see its MAC address and device key, then add your playlist on the developer's website using those values. The app downloads it on next launch.

Clear the app cache

webOS has no per-app cache button. Delete the app from the home screen's edit mode and reinstall it from the LG Content Store.

Change iBO Player's playback settings

  • After changing your playlist on the website, fully close and reopen the app (or restart the device) so it re-downloads the list.

Rule out your network

Prefer the Ethernet port. If you must use Wi-Fi, 5 GHz is far more reliable than 2.4 GHz for HD streams.

Restart LG TV properly

Turn off Quick Start+ in the General settings (its exact location varies by webOS version), then power the TV off and on. With Quick Start+ on, “off” is only standby and memory isn't cleared.

Installing apps on LG TV

Install from the LG Content Store. Sideloading isn't supported for regular users.

LG TV tips

  • After a firmware update, some players lose their activation. Check the app's website with your MAC address before contacting your provider.
