How to use lg remote as mouse

Allows you to use the magic remote on your webOS LG TV as a mouse for your PC. Installing This project consists of two applications, one for on your tv and one for on your pc. You can find the latest release on the releases page. Download and extract the win_install.zip file, make sure developer mode is enabled on your PC and run the install_x64.bat
(or install_arm64.bat) file to install the Windows client app. You will also need the webOS app, which is available as an .ipk file in the release. To install the .ipk, first install the webOS TV SDK on your PC, make sure your TV is rooted (and ready for ssh: see here and here) or you have enabled developer mode, and then install the app from the webOS
TV CLI using ares-install --device YOUR_DEVICE_ID_HERE me.wouterdek.magic4pc_1.0.0_all.ipk. Find your device id with ares-install --device-list. Usage To connect, make sure your TV and PC are connected to the same network, open the app on both devices, and the TV should appear in the windows app as an option to connect. After connecting,
you can move the remote to move the cursor, use the red/green buttons for left/right click, orange/blue for enter/escape and play/pause for media play/pause. If the cursor is on the wrong screen, select the correct one in the PC app settings and restart the app. Building from source Install Node.js v14.15.1 Go to webos/ directory Run npm install to
install dependencies Run npm run build to build the application Run npm run package to create ipk (application package) Install Visual Studio 2019 or later with WinUI 3.0 (and WindowsAppSDK), open up /pc/magic4pc.sln and publish the app with sideloading enabled.

CONTINUE TO SIGN IN Use your LG Magic Remote as a Windows mouse and control your PC
with the LG Magic Remote from your LG WebOS TV. MagicRemoteService is a Windows service providing computer remote control from a WebOS app on LG WebOS TV. MagicRemoteService work without rooting your TV. Tested with WebOS 6.0 (OLED65C1, OLED48C1) and Windows 10. Introduction How it works MagicRemoteService is composed
of two apps, one for TV sending magic remote inputs and one other for PC reproducing mouse and keyboard inputs. The TV app uses WebOS API and DOM events to catch magic remote inputs, WebSockets (TCP) for main data and Node.js dgram (UDP) for Wake-on-LAN functionality.

The PC app uses System.Net.Sockets to receive main data and SendInput Win32 API to reproduce mouse and keyboard inputs. About security There is no encryption data between the TV and the PC. Don't use it if you are unsure of the security of your local network. I strongly recommend to not use it on the internet without a VPN connection. Don't
use it to enter password, bank card or any other sensitive information. I clear myself of any responsibility if you got data hacked. Possible Improvement I already tried Node.js net (TCP) for the main data exchange to get ride of the WebSockets exchange protocol, but using service on TV had really poor performance compared to WebSockets.

Installation Using MagicRemoteService MagicRemoteService need to run PC and TV app. TV and PC need properly network and video input wired as you configured in installation step. Default Magic remote inputs : The red key shuts down or starts up
your PC. The yellow key sends a right click to the PC. The green key opens Windows menu.
The blue key pops up the WebOS keyboard. The return key sends an escape key to the PC. The navigation keys sends arrows keys to the PC. A short middle click sends a left click to the PC. A long middle click sends a right click to the PC. A wheel scroll is sent to the PC.

If you are stuck at startup because Wake-on-LAN didn't work, you can do a long press on the return button to relaunch the app or starts up PC manually. Some debugs logs notifications can appear at the bottom of the screen. Short click on it to hide. I strongly recommend adding a Windows automatic screen shutdown to prevent pixel remaining with
OLED TV. 1 Search for your LG TV's buttons. LG tends to place them along the bottom of the set, directly under the LG logo. [1] On some models, the buttons are located along the bottom-right rear side. 2 Power on your TV. Find the power button, and press it to power on the TV set. If your power button is broken, you can hold down one of the
volume or channel buttons for a few seconds to power on the TV. Advertisement 3 Determine which button is the input button. Most LG TV models feature six buttons: a power button, a volume-up button, a volume-down button, a channel-up button, a channel-down button, and a menu button. On newer models, the power button doubles as the input
button. [2] Older LG TV models also have an input button. It is likely to be either the leftmost or rightmost button. If your TV has one, using it to switch inputs is the simplest method of doing so without a remote. A few models feature a joystick that allows you to toggle between inputs, although this is less common. You can find your TV's exact settings
and button alignment by consulting [its manual| . 4 Tap the power button repeatedly. Tapping the power button once opens a menu of your TV's display inputs. Tap the button repeatedly to cycle through the different options. Hold it down longer to select the input you need. Be careful not to hold the power button down too long, as this will power off
your TV set. This might present a difficult learning curve at first, but you should get the proper timing down soon enough. Advertisement 1 Download the LG ThinQ app. The app is available for free on the App Store for iPhone users and on the Google Play Store for Android users.

Its logo is a white house against a red background. Keep in mind you must have an LG Smart TV to use the app with your TV 2 Power on your TV.
Using the power button on the bottom/rear of your TV, turn the TV on. Also ensure that your TV and smartphone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If this is your home Wi-Fi, you likely configured your TV to be on that network when you first set it up. [3] 3 Launch the ThinQ app and create an account. You may create an LG account through
Google or Facebook, or through a separate email address. You may also sign in if you have used the app previously. 4 Tap the + Add a Device button. It should be located atop the app's homepage, as well as in the center if you have not added any devices already. 5 Read the prompts that appear on your phone screen, then tap “OK.” This information
is mostly on how you can use the app, and with which devices it is compatible.

6 Open the Home Appliances section in the app, then select “TV.” Your phone will now start searching for nearby LG Smart TVs. 7 Choose your TV. It may take a few seconds for it to appear as an option, so don’t worry if you don’t see it right away. 8 Enter the verification code from your TV screen. This 8-digit code will appear in a blue box at the
center of the screen. 9 Tap “Move to Home.” Now that it's connected to your TV, the app will function as a remote. 10 Tap "Input" on your virtual remote.

to access your TV's settings and change the input. Advertisement 1 Find a wireless mouse.

4 Press the input button. This will pull up a menu of your TV's display inputs. 5 Use the mouse to select an input.
