lg VS piccap

Some telemetry is blocked during startup, although it is incomplete [1] (Perhaps I was a bit over-optimistic when I said a pihole was not required).

Custom CA certs are possible, which people on older models have been using to work around issues stemming from the X3 cert expiry [2].

Step 2: you have to use telnet to telnet into your tv... And run this: https://github.com/tf318/lg

thought this looks cool for the tech demo but after check it out with a movie demo it looks like it could be a distraction when watching movies since your eyes will be less focus on the movies and distracted by the changing colors on the wall. https://github.com/TBSniller/piccap

Alright. You should check out Hyperion on webOS (which is a video grabber for webOS and PicCap for a user-friendly UI. This solution does require that you root your webOS tho, which I can't do at the moment because my TV got the latest software update that patched the root exploit method. I'm definitely going to try it when possible and see how it works!

Our "killer app" thus far, in terms of useful things that actually require root, is PicCap [1] - which enables low-latency framebuffer capture for DIY Ambilight systems.

In the just-for-fun department, you can replace the default screensaver animation with a bouncing DVD logo. [2]

You can see a list of currently available homebrew apps here: https://repo.webosbrew.org/apps/

You can also block telemetry, updates, etc. (without relying on something like a pihole).
