Install Telvaz on an LG TV

1. Connect the TV and your computer to the same router.
2. On the TV, open the LG Content Store, install Developer Mode, and sign in with a free LG Developer account.
3. Turn on Dev Mode Status and let the TV restart. Open Developer Mode again and turn on Key Server. Note the IP address and the passphrase.
4. On your computer, install webOS Dev Manager. Add your TV with its IP address and passphrase.
5. Choose Install and pick the Telvaz file.
6. Open Telvaz from the TV's apps. Every few weeks, open Developer Mode and press Extend so the app is not removed.

Get webOS Dev Manager

Works on LG TVs from 2021 or newer (webOS 6 and up). Older LG TVs are not supported.

• An LG TV and a computer with Windows 10 or later, macOS or Linux, on the same router.
• A free LG Developer account.
• webOS Dev Manager: free and open source (Apache-2.0), by webosbrew. No root is needed.

Developer Mode lasts about 1000 hours (about six weeks). When it runs out, the TV removes Telvaz, so press Extend in Developer Mode before then. One developer account works on one TV: signing in on another TV turns Developer Mode off on the first.

Download the new file and install it the same way with webOS Dev Manager.

Opening the file does not install it

Opening the file from a USB stick or in the TV's browser does not install Telvaz. Use webOS Dev Manager.

The TV cannot be added

• Check that the TV and the computer are on the same network, and not on a guest network.
• Turn off any VPN.
• Use the TV's current IP address. It can change after a restart; a fixed IP for the TV in your router helps.
• Open Developer Mode, turn Key Server on again and type the passphrase it shows now.

Telvaz is gone from the TV

Developer Mode ran out. Install Telvaz again with the steps above, then press Extend every few weeks.

Delete Telvaz from the TV's apps.

The webOS CLI does the same as webOS Dev Manager. Add your TV as a device named tv, get its key with the passphrase, then install the file.

npm install -g @webos-tools/cli
ares-setup-device
ares-novacom --device tv --getkey
ares-install --device tv co.telvaz.tv_1.0.0_all.ipk
