Limitations & Recommendations

Anyone with the remote can exit the browser. There is no way to lock the TV into the player app.
Browser may time out
LG's web browser can close or go to sleep after a period of inactivity. You may need to re-open it periodically.
No offline playback
The browser-based player streams content from the server. If the internet drops, playback stops.
