Hello.
I’m trying to develop a webOS app and I have some questions.
I’m trying to import images or photos from within webOS into an app, but I’ve seen reports that this isn’t possible. Is it impossible to import files from the internal storage or a USB drive connected to the TV within an app?
For security reasons, apps cannot access USB. Therefore, it is not possible. Sorry for not being helpful.
Same goes for internal storage, right?
Files can only be accessed within the app package. So you can package frequently accessed assets with your app and access them there. However, downloading files in a web app to a TV device is not supported. Thank you.
What possible security implications are these about accessing images and video off a USB? How is that any different from accessing via a web browser?
Please enable this functionality like you used to do and do not restrict functionality unnecessarily.
May I remind you that removing features goes against the original specifications upon release, making the product no longer “fit for purpose” under UK law.
