Can't view MM on LG TV WebOS browser - others fine

@bhepler said in Can’t view MM on LG TV WebOS browser - others fine:
My initial thought is that the WebOS browser that is included in your TV is probably locked down to within an inch of its life. It may not have Javascript enabled, which is used by the MM framework to load the modules. Possibly. Maybe. I’d have to do some research.
Intriguing idea though.
Could that be the case if an older version (docker) works?

@potts-mike I don’t think the issue is the virtual host. Docker is a containerization host. Sort of a scaled down hypervisor, where instead of hosting an entire operating system Docker hosts containers for applications. The kicker is that no matter whether the Magic Mirror application is being hosted on a Raspi, a Docker container, an Ubuntu machine or some other device, it is still passing what is essentially a web page to a browser. That web page includes a little bit of HTML, slightly more CSS and a whole lot of Javascript.
Something needs to interpret that web page and that’s going to be a browser. The browser built into the TV may not have several features that are standard for the browsers in your phone, tablet, PC, Raspi, electron, et al. Most likely for security reasons. Possibly. Again, I’d have to do some research as to what’s enabled. It may just be you can configure the TV browser and it will work.

I think what @potts-mike is implying is he got it to work with the prebuilt docker package, but not the newer version. If that’s correct, could you share your build version on the older docker image? Maybe we have an issue in the newer version preventing some browsers from working.

This is correct, the docker version works but is approx. 2000 commits behind the current version. I’ll grab some information about the Docker when I get a chance.

This is the docker that works: https://github.com/nwootton/unRAID-Magic-Mirror-Docker
Looks like it’s based off this: https://github.com/bastilimbach/docker-MagicMirror

@potts-mike Curious. And this version is visible from your TV?
-
That is correct.
-
@potts-mike Most curious. Is it possible to enable the developer tools on the TV browser? I’ve never developed for a television before. I admit, I’m kind of curious.
@jbishop129’s note where he doesn’t even see his TV browser connecting to his server makes me suspicious. At the very least, he should be getting connection rejection messages in the logs. I would suggest double-checking all of the IP whitelist settings. It might be worth it to run it wide open for testing purposes.
[tap tap tap] It turns out there is an entire website dedicated to developing for the WebOSTV operating system. http://webostv.developer.lge.com/ But I can’t seem to find anywhere to turn on the developer tools for the web browser.
-
The only thing I could find is the ability to change the encoding which doesn’t seem to be the problem.
-
Any additional thoughts here? I am around if there is something that I can test.
