    I wanted to move to Jellyfin, but there isn’t an app for it on the LG WebOS library like there is for Plex, so I wouldn’t be able to watch stuff on my TV, which sadly makes it useless for me :-(

    I don’t have the money to be going out and buying extra add-ons for my TV to watch stuff either, sadly. So, Plex it is for now!

        The Homebrew Channel for LG WebOS is got three pieces of absolutely essential software:

        A YouTube app modified with built in ad blocking and sponsor blocking. The Jellyfin app. The Moonlight app.

        With these three plus the toggle to block system updates your TV gets 1000% better for free.

              15 years ago a pirate decided to name the main channel on the Nintendo Wii for homebrew the “Homebrew Channel”, as it has been for 15 years.

              That was my reference. If you found a hacked Wii right now and turned it on, it would be one of the channels available.

              OK.

              So, you know of android rooting?

              (I'm assuming no)

              Android rooting is the action of getting superuser prileveges on an android device, which lets you do literally anything. From removing bloat, to overclocking, it gives you full power over the device.

              Keep in mind that “with great power comes great responsibility.” -the sudo command on first use

              Well, it’s that, but for TVs.

              As for the remote, how you move the cursor is wii-like, and you can click the [OK] button to click stuff. You can also scroll, because the [OK] button is also a scroll wheel.

                What I meant is I tried to Google homebrew smart remote and found nothing. I do have understanding of the concepts and was looking for the specifics :)

      When was the last time you checked? A client was added to the WebOS store maybe 2 or 3 years ago for recent models, and support for older models (like my C9) came months later.
