- Hiding Home tiles and switching to or from a custom screen saver no longer restart the TV's app manager on TVs that offer another way to make it reread its apps, as webOS 9 does. The restart is the common factor in the black-picture reports in #366. Elsewhere the app manager restarts as before (#603).
- Glasshouse can set the TV's clock from an NTP server on the local network, so the TV no longer depends on LG's time servers. It is off until a server is named in
config.json(#627, #638). - Home Assistant's Sound Output select lists the outputs the TV offers in its own Quick Settings menu, each with a readable name, including TV speaker with optical, Bluetooth or HDMI ARC, LG WOWCAST and mobile phone where the TV has them. Outputs the TV has no hardware for are no longer listed (#610, #619).
- The dashboard's Sound panel shows a button only for an output the TV has, and lists the TV's other outputs under More (#620). Sound outputs have the same names in the Sound settings, the Control tab and Home Assistant (#637).
- The audio output reading, Home Assistant's Audio Output sensor and the dashboard's sound row name the output in use on newer TVs, such as "TV Speaker + Optical" where they read "Tv Speaker Ext" (#618).
- Where the TV refuses volume or mute changes on its current output, the dashboards and Home Assistant stop offering the volume there, as they already did where the TV says so in advance (#631).
- The ad blocker covers more LG tracking hosts: a screen-recognition server and an ad host in both modes, and the Home screen's recommendation hosts, LG's ThinQ cloud and an HDMI device lookup in Everything. The LG ThinQ app can't control the TV in Everything mode, and the dashboards say so (#621).
- The screen content recognition switch on the TV's app withdraws the consent flag the TV's ACR client actually reads, which on the tested webOS 4 and 9 TVs is not the one it changed before (#632).
- The dashboard's HDR badge shows the format the source is actually sending, such as HDR10, HLG or Dolby Vision, rather than the picture settings' group (#611).
- Both dashboards show the TV's name on the home network under its address, where the network's DNS knows it (#626).
- Why the TV last powered on, such as the remote or Wake-on-WLAN, is reported in the stats and to Prometheus, and power changes are logged (#628).
- Prometheus exports the sound settings, volume and mute (#615), and leaves out readings the TV has nothing for (#625).
- The tested TVs gain an OLED65G5WUA on webOS 25 and an OLED55GX6LA on webOS 5.6 (#630, #639). The contributing guide asks for changes to be tested on a real TV, and explains how to ask for testers or become one (#609, #616).
