How to Build Your LG TV App

Introduction

Muvi offers a fully featured, white-labeled LG TV App with all the same features as the website—user registration, login, search, filter, etc. Currently, we only support web-OS 4, 5, and 6 versions of the LG TV App.

Note: At present, the LG TV App does not support embedded content from a third-party platform. We only support MP4, HLS(.m3u8), and MPEG-DASH video formats.

Before purchasing your LG TV App, you can preview it. You can get a look and feel of your App through our Onyx App.
