LG digital signage software for webOS Signage panels

LG webOS Signage panels on version 6.0 or newer, with Chromium 79 or newer, run the Player. Panels on webOS Signage 4.x or older run a browser that is older than the Player needs.

The webOS packages are for LG's commercial webOS Signage panels. An LG consumer TV is a different product, so for one of those plug in a stick that runs the Player or open the Player web app in the TV's browser. The smart TV guide compares the routes. Other commercial displays with a built-in HTML5 browser or URL launcher can open the Player web app directly, as the Player guide describes.

Press Info on the remote. The panel shows its model, its browser version and its connection state. The Player needs webOS Signage 6.0 or newer, with Chromium 79 or newer. A panel on webOS Signage 4.x or older runs a browser that is older than the Player needs.

You download the packages from the webOS package page. There are two, and they are separate apps to the panel, each with its own pairing, so install one of them on a panel. The steps below use the USB route; the Player guide lists both.

1. Set the panel's date and time and its network first. A wrong clock stops the install with "Unknown error" and stops the secure connection.
2. On a FAT32 USB stick, make a folder named application at the root and put com.lg.app.signage.ipk in it. Keep the file name.
3. Plug the stick into the panel. In Server Settings, set Application Launch Mode to Local and the type to IPK, then run Local Application Upgrade from USB.
4. Restart the panel. It starts the app and shows a pairing code.
5. Read the code to your agent.

To install from the panel's app menu or from an SI server, use ScreenRig-webos.ipk instead.

The app opens the Player at power-on. A panel that starts before its network is ready shows the screenRIG start screen and keeps trying until the Player answers. Once the Player has loaded before, a restart with no network still opens it, and it plays what it saved. Press Info on the remote to see the panel's model, browser version and connection state.

The Player downloads your content once and plays it from the panel's own storage, so video does not buffer and a dropped network does not stop it.

Everything the web Player can: images, video, live streams as HLS, web pages, ready-made apps such as menus, queues and dashboards with live data, and your own apps. A playlist can also carry a soundtrack. Your agent controls what plays. Restarting the panel, its power and its volume stay with the panel's own controls.

Does LG webOS Signage run screenRIG?

Yes. Panels on webOS Signage 6.0 or newer run the Player, installed from a USB stick, the panel's app menu or an SI server. The app starts at power-on.

Do I need a media player box behind an LG panel?

No. The Player runs on the panel itself, so there is no box.

Can I use an LG TV as digital signage?

The webOS packages are made for LG's commercial webOS Signage panels. For an LG consumer TV, plug in a stick that runs the Player, or open the Player web app in the TV's browser.

Does an LG panel keep playing with no network?

Yes. The Player downloads your content once and plays it from the panel's own storage. Once it has loaded before, a restart with no network still opens it and plays what it saved.

Can my agent switch the panel off or restart it?

Your agent controls what plays. Restarting the panel, its power and its volume stay with the panel's own controls.

What does LG signage software cost?

The panels are your cost. screenRIG is free, with unlimited screens. Paid plans add business tools, more people, people to talk to, governance and contract terms. See pricing.

The Downloads page lists the webOS packages beside every other Player, and Start installs the plugin in your agent.
