Hello,
I am developing a webOS TV application for live video streaming using HLS (.m3u8).
Currently, the CanalLuz application is already developed and working successfully on Samsung Smart TVs, and we would like to make it available on LG webOS TVs as well.
I would like to ask what is the officially recommended method or framework for HLS playback on LG webOS TVs.
From the documentation and examples, I found:
The Media Playback sample using Shaka Player
References to HTML5
However, I am unsure which approach is correct or recommended in production.
I have tested the following three approaches on a real device (LG 42LB6500-SF):
HTML5
In all cases, the stream does not play on the TV. The screen remains black, and playback does not start.
The same HLS stream works correctly in VLC and other players.
My questions are:
What is the correct/recommended way to implement HLS live streaming on webOS TVs?
Should I use: HTML5 video; Shaka Player; Luna Services or another library such as hls.js?
Is there any official limitation regarding HLS playback support depending on the TV model?
Could this issue be related to the age of the device (LG 42LB6500-SF)?
Does LG Smart TVs have limitations regarding codecs or HLS compatibility?
Any guidance or official recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Leonel Lingotti
