The LG app?
@Vmurph5 жыл бұрын
SOLUTION TO LAUNCH YOUR LG APPS: To get Alexa to launch Apps on your LG TV, it requires different phrasing than all the other commands. You have to tell her to *ask LG* to do it. So for example: To launch the Prime Video App, say “Alexa tell LG to launch Prime Video on [my TV]” (or whatever your TV is named). Same goes for Netflix and any other app. I just tested it and it works.

Whenever I try this, like launching Spotify, the TV just says searching for apps and shows the installed Spotify app for me to select with the remote -it doesn't launch it automatically. Any ideas?

Here's how to get it to turn on (from LG support and it actually worked: 1) Turn your TV off. 2) Unplug it from the outlet. 3) Press and hold the power button on the TV for 15-20 seconds. 4) Wait for one minute and then plug your TV back into the outlet.Tell Alexa to turn your TV on.

I just enabled everything now. In late 2019 I am able to turn the TV on with voice commands. However, I'm also having problems with launching apps via voice command. My Echo just says "I couldn't find any enabled video skills. Please enable video skills & devices." When i go to the TV & Video section of the settings I see a list of apps but no mention of LG TV or Netflix. I'm at a loss because when I first connected the TV to the Echo the example commands on-screen showed launching Netflix as a possible command.

Good vid. But please note viewers that your LG tv may not have the Webos tab even if it is a webos tv. The 8 series tvs were shipped to some countries without the app and it can't be installed. Why companies do this I have no idea. surely it isn't a rights issue in this case but who knows. I know this is the case with New Zealand models. Amazon has good info on which countries models were shipped with the app. The 9 series I think, were shipped with the app or automatically connect.

@Vmurph5 жыл бұрын
Jordan Mercado: I don’t think that was her problem. She was using the wrong phrasing. For some weird reason, Alexa can’t launch them herself; she has to ask *LG* to do it. I posted the exact phrase in a separate comment. PS: she clearly had the right webOS version or it wouldn’t have linked in the first place, and Alexa wouldn’t have been able to turn the TV off/on, switch inputs, or change volume. TVs under version 4 can’t use Alexa at all.

Super frustrating. I’m just going to reset the TV back to factory settings and try again, I guess. It should be SO much easier then all of those steps. If the TV is on the same WiFi network the only steps should be to get Alexa to discover it and connect. There shouldn’t be any need for all of the registration crap.
