Not to be a Debby Downer, but you'd either need a LG TV which is already rooted, or one you can root (per the repo's README, "RootMyTV is unlikely to work on firmware released since mid-2022" and given firmware downgrades are impossible...).
AFAIK firmware updates are opt-out by default, so as long as you connect your LG TV to internet, you're likely to have received one, but I could be wrong.
Yeah I was excited about this but then realized I take every update LG puts out there, lol
my LG TV was up to date but I still managed to root it just recently, via this method: https://github.com/throwaway96/dejavuln-autoroot
it's well worth it - rebinding the remote alone is sweet AF, plus the ad-free and sponsor-blocking YouTube is great
Holy crap really? I'll check it out asap thanks!
Just rooted it... Worked perfectly, ad free YouTube here I come!
I wonder if I should use Kodi on webos or stick to it being on my Chromecast, as it has more space and power I think
