OcenFin
A fast, lightweight Jellyfin client for LG webOS TVs — made for the remote, tested on an LG B4.
OcenFin plays your movies and shows as they are: Direct Play with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and subtitles drawn by the TV itself instead of burned in by the server. Everything is built for the D-pad, and the app, made with Svelte 5, takes up almost no space.
Movies and TV shows only. OcenFin has no Live TV and no music, on purpose — the FAQ explains why. Libraries for music, Live TV, books, or home videos and photos do not appear in the app.
Highlights
Plays it as it is
- Direct Play for 4K HEVC, AV1 and VP9 with Dolby Vision and HDR10, Dolby Atmos, TrueHD and DTS — the server only steps in when the TV really cannot play a file.
- Subtitles on the TV, not burned in: Blu-ray (PGS) and DVD (VobSub) pictures, ASS/SSA exactly as made thanks to libass, plain text in your own style.
- Skip intro, recap and credits (automatically if you like), a countdown to the next episode, “Are you still watching?” and preview pictures while seeking.
Finding something to watch
- A home screen with Continue Watching, Next Up, recent additions, “Because you watched …”, collections and your watchlist.
- Libraries with an A–Z jump, filters for genre and audio or subtitle language, sorting and “Surprise me”.
- Search across titles and people; title pages with cast, similar titles and the collections a title belongs to.
- Spoiler protection blurs the pictures of episodes you have not seen yet.
Made for the TV
- Everything works with the D-pad and the Magic Remote pointer, and Back always takes you to where you were.
- Remote shortcuts: colour buttons, channel keys to jump between episodes, number keys to jump in the timeline.
- Accent colours, interface size and font, an OLED-friendly screensaver and “Reduce animations” for a calmer screen.
- In English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Polish.
Profiles and watching together
- Fast profile switching with saved sign-in and Quick Connect; profile pictures made right on the TV.
- Shared profile: link two personal profiles and hide what one of you has already seen.
- SyncPlay, and remote control from Jellyfin on your phone or in the browser.
Privacy
OcenFin talks to your Jellyfin server and nothing else: no tracking, no analytics, no extra account. Your settings stay on the TV. Trailers are the one exception, as they play from YouTube.
Screenshots

 Settings — accent colour, size and font |
The screenshots show the Blender Foundation's open movies with their real details and official subtitles, served by a demo server rather than a personal library.
Requirements
- TV: an LG with webOS 25 or newer (2024 models onwards). Older webOS versions are not supported.
- Server: Jellyfin Server 12.2 or newer. On 12.0 or 12.1 OcenFin runs, but DVD subtitles stay empty. For servers older than 12.0, use OcenFin 2026.09.22, the last release for Jellyfin 10.10 and 10.11.
Installation
OcenFin is installed as an .ipk file from the Releases page. No root is required.
- Prepare the TV: Install the official "Developer Mode" app from the LG Content Store on your TV and enable it.
- Sideload from your PC: I recommend dev-manager-desktop, an easy graphical tool to install apps on the TV.
- Keep it running: LG limits developer apps to 50 hours. Install the "Auto Dev Token Refresh" app with
dev-manager-desktopas well; it resets the timer in the background, so OcenFin never expires.
Documentation & FAQ
Common questions — why there is no Live TV or music, how the watchlist and theme music work, why there is no build for older TVs — are answered in the Wiki and FAQ.
