Glasshouse Home gets settings for the preview's size and the Magic Remote pointer, and moves Up and Down to the tile on screen above or below. The Picture tab can export the current settings, the ad blocker now reaches apps' own copies of the blocked list, and several Home fixes land for webOS 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Glasshouse Home
- Live preview size: Small, Medium or Large, on the Home tab of both dashboards. Medium and Large keep the preview's top right corner and move the rows down to make room (#1210).
- Magic Remote pointer: a setting to turn it off on Home, so only the arrow keys move around and OK or a click opens the tile in focus (#1212).
- Up and Down go to the tile on screen above or below, rather than the one last used in that row (#1213).
- webOS 7: Glasshouse Home takes LG's Home's place again where the app manager takes neither of the newer ways to reread its apps (#1412).
- Slow-starting apps opened from Home are given time to start before Home counts itself as hung and comes back on top (#1408).
- webOS 4: a channel's live preview plays, and stays up although the TV reports no signal for it (#1208).
- webOS 5 and 6: the boot hook unmounts only Glasshouse Home's own copy of LG's Home, leaving another tool's in place (#1409).
- Input bar: over Home or a launcher such as Glasshouse Minimal, choosing the input last watched switches to it rather than closing the bar.
Everything else
- Picture settings export: the Picture tab on the web dashboard downloads the current picture settings, including aspect ratio, Just Scan and TruMotion for what is on screen, as a JSON file.
- Ad blocker: apps already running, and those started before the clock synced, get the current blocked list in their own copies of the hosts file, and lose it when blocking is switched off. Both tiers cover more of LG's advertising, beacon and service hosts; Everything now also blocks the Content Store, Home's recommendations, more ThinQ services and LG Channels' dependencies.
- Idle screen saver stays held off while an app's video plays.
- Screen savers can read all their Home Assistant values at once.
- Fewer wasted requests: a method the TV says it does not have is asked for again only every 10 minutes, and the OLED panel hours are read from where the TV keeps them (#1418).
- Tested TVs and research notes: adds an A1 on webOS 6.5.3, and records that a B4 on webOS 10.3.2 keeps Widevine and the ESN with Glasshouse Home in LG's Home's place (#1421).
