LG is a bit simpler than Samsung โ€” no app-store rejection, just Developer Mode via ares-cli (LG's official npm tool). One-time setup + yearly renewal.

Steps

  1. 1
    Create an LG Developer account
    Sign up at webostv.developer.lge.com โ€” free, no card required. You'll need this username in the next step to enable Developer Mode on the TV.
  2. 2
    Enable Developer Mode on the TV
    Open the Developer Mode app, sign in, and toggle Dev Mode on. Note the IP address and the passphrase.
    ๐Ÿ’ก Write down the IP + Passphrase โ€” you'll need both in step 4. The passphrase resets every time you re-enable Dev Mode.
  3. 3
    Install ares CLI on your computer
    One-line install via npm (Mac, Linux, Windows):
    npm install -g @webos-tools/cli
    ๐Ÿ’ก If you get permission errors, use a local prefix: npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global
  4. 4
    Add your TV as a device
    Run and add your TV with the IP and passphrase.
    ares-setup-device --add tv1
    # IP: <your TV IP>
    # Passphrase: <from step 2>
  5. 5
    Install Mizo Player .ipk
    Once you have the .ipk file from us, run a single command:
    ares-install --device tv1 MizoPlayer_0.1.0_all.ipk
  6. 6
    Find your MAC + activate
    On the TV: Settings โ†’ Network โ†’ Wi-Fi Connection โ†’ Manage Connections. Then sign in via Manage Playlists below with the MAC + Device Key shown on the app screen.
  7. 7
    Launch from the home screen
    You'll find Mizo Player in the bottom apps row. If it doesn't show up, reboot the TV once.

After installing

Open Mizo Player on your TV โ€” a screen will show MAC + Device Key โ€” then sign in here:
