UPDATE 2022-11-29: Jellyfin has added their app to LG's WebOS store for newer TVs (2021+). For older ones (WebOS < 6), the following instructions should still apply.
- Clone https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-webos
- Open WebOS TV SDK
- cd into directory
- Run
ares-package org.jellyfin.webos - Open the Developer Mode app on the TV and login
- Turn on Dev Mode, TV will reboot
- Re-open the Developer Mode app
- Turn on Key Server
- Run
ares-novacom --device tv --getkey, passphrase is found on screen - Run
ares-install --device tv --list, a blank line means everything works - Run
ares-install --device tv ./org.jellyfin.webos_X.X.X_all.ipkreplacing the Xs with the requisite version number - Done!
If you need to re-add tv to the device list
- Run
ares-setup-deviceand remove tv - Run
ares-setup-deviceand choose add - Use the following settings:
- Device Name: tv
- Device IP address: IP found on screen
- Device Port: 9922
- SSH user: prisoner
- Description: optional
- Select authentication: password
- Password: leave blank

Hi,
i received some updates in my tv as well as on CLI.
Just wanted to reinstall the jellyfin ipk on my LG tv device. But now i get always error messages:
Am I doing something wrong?
(nice side effect of the update is that dev mode tim increased from 99h to 999h)
Found the error by myself. i did not have CLI 1.12.4. Thought it will be inside the SDK package.
After installing the latest CLI manually it works as usual
Hello,
when Developer Mode time expires, Jellyfin app disappears.
How can I make it remain permanently?

Hi scottini,
I haven't used Jellyfin in a while, but from what I can remember, there is no way around this. Thankfully, Jellyfin has since released an app on the LG WebOS store, so this is no longer needed!
