Installation Guide
Tip
Moonlight is available on webOS Homebrew Channel.
You can use dev-manager-desktop (desktop app) to install Moonlight.
Following method is not suggested to most users.
Following guides are referencing LG's official documentation.
Although Moonlight is a native application, Installing Moonlight on webOS TVs are the same as installing any other webOS applications. To install, you'll need to have developer mode enabled. Enabling developer mode won't cause data loss, or functionality limitation. However, developer mode is not persistent, which means you may need to enable it now and then.
Developer Mode is disabled:
- After the TV reboot ten times while the TV is not connected to a network.
- After the TV reboot when the remaining session time has run out. (999 hours now)
- After the TV reboot when you sign in to another TV with the same account.
If you sign in to multiple TVs with one account, only the session of the latest TV that you sign in to is maintained. After Developer Mode is disabled, the apps that are installed while you were using on Developer Mode are uninstalled, and you will be taken to the log-in screen of the Developer Mode app.
Disclaimer: It's not known whether installing native applications violates any kinds of ToS, but proceed at your own risk. Never install or run any application you don't trust.
Follow CLI Installation. Download and install the tool.
Follow App Testing with Developer Mode App. Please note you may need to repeat this step to turn developer mode back ON when it turns off automatically.
Follow Package, install, and launch the app on a TV device. Although the guide is for web app, it still works for Moonlight.
