Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • RootMyTV

  • 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].

  • piccap

    PicCap - Hyperion Sender App | Ambilight for LG WebOS TVs

  • 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).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    Probably the only custom webOS screensaver you will ever need

  • RPiPlay

    An open-source AirPlay mirroring server for the Raspberry Pi. Supports iOS 9 and up.

  • Nice, I’d love to install software such as rpiplay [0] to mirror my iOS device, also would be nice to maybe gain some kind of low-latency wireless Linux-compatible screen share server.

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
