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.

- 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.ipk
replacing the Xs with the requisite version number - Done!
If you need to re-add tv to the device list
- Run
ares-setup-device
and remove tv - Run
ares-setup-device
and choose add - Use the following settings:
- Device Name: tv
- Device IP address: IP found on screen
- Device Port: 9922

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:
Command '/bin/rm -rf /media/developer/temp && /bin/mkdir -p /media/developer/temp' exited with code=1 (signal: undefined)
Am I doing something wrong?
(nice side effect of the update is that dev mode tim increased from 99h to 999h)

Hello,
when Developer Mode time expires, Jellyfin app disappears.
How can I make it remain permanently?
