LG WebOS TV - NowTV application package Name (help!)

[Anonymous User]

Hi all

I'm an avid home automation enthusiast, and have linked up my LG TV to my OpenRemote system.

There is a node/NPM package (called lgtv) that enables me to control the TV via command line, which includes starting apps.

I can start "netflix" and "blinkbox" by executing:

lgtv.start_app("netflix");

or

lgtv.start_app("blinkbox");

...but NowTV doesn't work.  What is the package name?  (hoping one of the developers/support team reads this!)

I've tried:

lgtv.start_app("nowtv");

lgtv.start_app("NowTV");

lgtv.start_app("now tv");

lgtv.start_app("Now TV");

lgtv.start_app("com.bsksyb.beta");

lgtv.start_app("com.bsksyb.nowtv.beta");

None work.  It's a really stupid simple thing so hope someone can help 🙂

(I've also tried the TV API to list app names, but so far it's refusing to cooperate).

Cheers

Pete

Still not, sadly - and I've not managed to packet capture my mobile client which might show me the command...
