A TypeScript web app for LG webOS TVs (webOS 5 / Chromium 68 and newer), driven by the remote: Movies and Series search with the Trakt lists, Library with status, title and file-property filters and download marks, seasons and episodes, release search and grab, Downloads, Calendar, Settings and Log. It talks to Radarr, Sonarr, SABnzbd and Trakt directly (they answer cross-origin requests); the arr-tui config is baked in at build time and can be changed on the TV. dev/screenshots/server.py answers cross-origin requests and accepts writes for it; webos/dev/drive.mjs drives the app in Chromium for screenshots.

# arr-tui for LG webOS TVs
|
||
|
||
The same views as the terminal app, as a TV app driven by the remote:
|
||
|
||
- **Movies** and **Series**: search Radarr / Sonarr. With an empty search box you get the Trakt lists
|
||
(trending, most watched this week, anticipated, popular, US box office). Add a title, or open
|
||
releases and other actions for library titles.
|
||
- **Library**: movies and series, each with its own status, title and file-property filters
|
||
(quality, language, codec, HDR, audio). A blue dot marks titles that are downloading. A series
|
||
opens its seasons and episodes.
|
||
- **Downloads**: the SABnzbd queue and history and the Radarr / Sonarr queues. Pause / resume,
|
||
delete, retry, remove and blocklist.
|
||
- **Calendar**: two weeks of movie releases and airing episodes.
|
||
- **Settings** and **Log**.
|
||
- **Release search** with approval and rejection reasons, sort, filters and grab.
|
||
- **Details pane** with poster, plot and cast from Trakt.
|
||
|
||
It is a plain web app (TypeScript, no framework) that talks to Radarr, Sonarr, SABnzbd and Trakt
|
||
directly: all four answer cross-origin requests, so the TV needs nothing else running.
|
||
|
||
## The remote
|
||
|
||
| Button | Does |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| ◀ ▶ ▲ ▼ | move; in a list ▲ ▼ move the selection, at its ends they leave it |
|
||
| OK | press; on a title, the menu of what can be done with it |
|
||
| Back | close a dialog or page; in a view, back to its tab; on the tabs, leave the app |
|
||
| 1–7 | open a view |
|
||
| CH ▲ / ▼ | page through a list |
|
||
| Red / Green | previous / next Trakt list or calendar week; Library: movies ⇄ series |
|
||
| Yellow | filter by file properties (Library); pause / resume SABnzbd (Downloads) |
|
||
| Blue | reload |
|
||
|
||
The footer shows what OK and the colour buttons do in the current view. With the Magic Remote's
|
||
pointer, hovering focuses and clicking presses. In a desktop browser, F1–F4 stand in for the
|
||
colour buttons and Escape for Back.
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
The build bakes your arr-tui config into the app: `$ARR_TUI_CONFIG`, else
|
||
`~/.config/arr-tui/config.json` (or `node build.mjs --config FILE`). On the TV, **Settings**
|
||
changes the addresses, keys, defaults, Trakt client ID and theme. Those changes are kept on the TV
|
||
until "Reset to built-in".
|
||
|
||
The package then holds your API keys. Keep it private and never publish it.
|
||
|
||
Addresses must not redirect. The terminal app follows a redirect from `http://` to `https://`; a
|
||
browser does not for cross-origin requests, so enter the final (usually `https://`) address.
|
||
|
||
## Install on the TV (Developer Mode)
|
||
|
||
1. On the TV, install **Developer Mode** from the LG Content Store and sign in with an LG
|
||
developer account (free, [webostv.developer.lge.com](https://webostv.developer.lge.com)). Turn
|
||
on **Dev Mode Status** and **Key Server**, and note the IP address and the passphrase.
|
||
2. Once, on the computer (Node.js 22 or newer):
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
cd webos
|
||
npm install
|
||
npx ares-setup-device -a tv -i "host=TV_IP" -i "port=9922" -i "username=prisoner"
|
||
npx ares-novacom --device tv --getkey # asks for the passphrase
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Build, package, install and start:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
npm run package # dist/ and out/com.stinnesbeck.arrtui_<version>_all.ipk
|
||
npm run install-tv
|
||
npm run launch
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A Developer Mode session lasts 50 hours; the Developer Mode app extends it, otherwise the TV removes
|
||
developer apps. On a rooted TV with the Homebrew Channel the `.ipk` can be installed without that
|
||
limit.
|
||
|
||
The app targets webOS 5 (2020 TVs, Chromium 68) and newer.
|
||
|
||
## Development
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
npm run typecheck
|
||
npm test # unit tests (Node's test runner)
|
||
npm run demo # dist/ with the fake services of dev/screenshots
|
||
python3 ../dev/screenshots/server.py & # the fake Radarr, Sonarr, SABnzbd and Trakt
|
||
CHROMIUM=$(command -v chromium) node dev/drive.mjs SCENE OUTDIR
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`dev/drive.mjs` opens `dist/index.html` in Chromium at 1920×1080, presses remote buttons from a
|
||
scene file (`key Down Enter Red`, `type text`, `sleep 1`, `shot name`, `log`) and takes screenshots.
|
||
The page can also be opened in any desktop browser (`dist/index.html`).
