Remote TV-app installation (Beanstaller)

Most users don't need this page. This is setup plumbing, not a daily task. Beanstaller (remote install of the player app on LG webOS TVs) is part of how screens get commissioned — for most users it just works during setup. You'd only touch it for a fleet roll-out or a tricky TV, and that's normally done with impressBox. For a single TV, use the illustrated Install impressPlayer on an LG Smart TV (webOS) guide instead.

On LG webOS screens, impressBox can install or re-install the impressPlayer TV app remotely, without someone going to each TV with a USB stick. This mechanism is called Beanstaller.

What it's for

  • Roll out or repair the player app across many webOS TVs from a distance.

  • Reduce on-site visits when commissioning or recovering screens.

What you configure

  • Enable remote installation (on by default on webOS).

  • An installation key used by the feature (managed internally).

Notes

  • Applies to webOS TVs only.

  • This is part of the platform plumbing — for most users it "just works" during setup. For a fleet roll-out or a tricky TV, do it with impressBox.
