TL;DR
- PlxNative is a new open-source Plex client for LG webOS TVs that’s designed to make browsing and navigation much faster on older hardware.
- It uses a native Rust/OpenGL interface rather than running in a browser, while still relying on your TV’s hardware decoder for video playback.
- You can install it via the Homebrew Channel or sideload it via LG’s Developer Mode and webOS Dev Manager.
If you have an older LG TV that still has a great panel and picture quality but a painfully slow UI, a new open-source Plex client could help you get more out of it.
