Good to know on LG TV

  • LG TVs play HEVC, so most videos play as they are. Fastwater makes an H.264 copy of a video the TV can't play the first time you play it.
  • The app updates itself: there's nothing to install after the first time.

Or use an app you know

Fastwater files also play in these apps on LG TV.

Plex or Jellyfin

Mount your Fastwater files with rclone on the computer that runs your media server, and its TV app plays them. Standard and Pro.

Setup guide

The TV's web browser

Sign in at fastwater.app and play from the dashboard.

Questions

Is there a Put.io alternative with an LG TV app?
Yes. Fastwater works like Put.io: paste a magnet link or add a .torrent file, and it downloads to your private cloud. Its own LG app plays your library. Plans start at $6.99 a month for 200 GB. Standard is 1 TB for $9.99 a month. Every plan includes the TV apps, and every trial is free for 3 days.
Does it work on my older LG TV?
If it runs webOS 3 or later, yes. That's most LG smart TVs from 2016 on. Older ones can play from the TV's browser.
Does the LG app cost extra?
No. The app is free with any Fastwater plan. Plans start at $6.99 a month for 200 GB. Standard is 1 TB for $9.99 a month. Every plan includes the TV apps, and every trial is free for 3 days.
Can I add downloads from the TV?
Not from the TV app. Add a magnet link or a .torrent file in the dashboard on a phone or computer, or from Putflix, ChatGPT, or Claude. It shows up on the TV when it's ready.
