Perhaps run 2 apps at same time and trick them into sitting in our panes as if that was WebOS?

Hello! After getting a TV running webOS 8/9, I'm able to dig for a bit. This is possible with some caveats.

The list of allowed apps are defined by webOS. And they're modifiable with luna call luna://com.webos.service.config/setConfigs once you get root. Basically, you only need to add new app IDs to existing settings.

{
  "configs": {
    "multiview.recommendedApps": [
      {
        "subApp": [
          {
            "appId": "com.webos.app.browser",
            "rank": 1
          },
          {
            "appId": "com.webos.app.camera",
            "rank": 2
          },
          {
            "appId": "com.webos.app.miracast",
            "rank": 3
          },
          {
            "appId": "youtube.leanback.v4",
            "rank": 4
          },
          {
            "appId": "spotify-beehive",
            "rank": 5
          },
          {
            "appId": "com.limelight.webos",
            "rank": 6
          },
          {
            "appId": "org.xbmc.kodi",
            "rank": 7
          }
        ],
        "mainAppId": "com.webos.app.livetv",
        "blacklistCountryGroup": [
          "CN",
          "HK"
        ]
      },

For some apps (like Moonlight), it seems that video can't work in multiview mode though.

I'll do researches and publish my findings when I have more resources, and hopefully we could make this feature more useful.

I notice Kodi is in the list. Did LG put it there? Does video work with it?

@kentyman23 No, I made the modification. You can add arbitrary apps to the list.
