GIF screensaver for rooted LG webOS TVs

Requires a rooted TV via Homebrew Channel, tested on webOS 9 but lower versions should work.

Replaces the LG webOS screensaver with a looping GIF of your choice. Browse GIPHY, or paste any direct .gif URL. The selected GIF persists across reboots.

A GIPHY API key is required to use the browse grid, otherwise only 4 defaults are available.

Features

  • SSH GIPHY key injection — optionally set your GIPHY API key via luna-send you have SSH access, see project README for instructions
  • Browse — curated 2×2 grid of cinemagraphs, nature loops, and ambient animations via GIPHY
  • Custom URL — paste any direct .gif link and download it directly
  • Persistent — selected GIF survives reboots
  • Test — preview the screensaver from the app
  • Uninstall — cleanly removes the screensaver (if you want to remove the app, please run Uninstall first)
