Version 1.5.0 · 1.1 MB

Windows

  1. Open Downloads and find the ZIP you downloaded.
  2. Right-click it, choose Extract All, then Extract. Open the extracted folder.
  3. Double-click Install on Windows.cmd.
It won’t open?
  1. If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” for this kit downloaded from this website, choose More info, then Run anyway if offered. Do not turn off Windows protection.
  2. If the installer says OpenSSH Client is missing: open Start, search for Optional features, then choose View features or Add a feature. Find OpenSSH Client and install it. Run Install on Windows.cmd again. You do not need OpenSSH Server.

Mac

  1. Open Downloads and double-click the ZIP to unpack it.
  2. Open the extracted folder.
  3. Double-click Install on Mac.command.
It won’t open?
  1. If macOS blocks this downloaded installer because the developer is unidentified: after trying to open it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security. Find the message for Install on Mac.command, choose Open Anyway, then confirm Open.
  2. If macOS asks whether Terminal may access devices on your local network, allow it so the installer can reach your TV. If the file is reported as damaged or harmful, stop and contact us.

A text window will open. That is the installer. You do not need to write commands or install LG’s developer tools.

On your computer

4.Install YAIP on the TV

  1. When the installer asks for the TV IP address, type the IP Address from your TV’s Developer Mode screen and press Enter.
  2. When it asks for the passphrase, type the Passphrase from that same TV screen and press Enter. Match capital and small letters. This is not your LG account password.
  3. Use the values on your own TV, not the examples in this guide. Keep the TV on and wait for Done!

Done! YAIP should open on your TV. Next time, open it from the TV’s app list. Add your own playlist to start watching; YAIP does not provide content.

One thing to remember

Check the timer in Developer Mode regularly and press EXTEND before it runs out. Keep Dev Mode Status on. If you get a newer kit later, download it, extract it and run its installer again.

Need help?

The installer cannot find my TV

Check the current IP Address on the TV. Make sure Key Server is on and both devices are on the same home network. Guest Wi-Fi or a VPN can keep them apart. Reopen Developer Mode and try again.

The passphrase was not accepted

Read the Passphrase on the TV again and type it exactly, including capital and small letters. Use the TV passphrase, not your LG password.

The installer says the package is missing

Extract the whole ZIP again. Run the installer from the extracted folder, not from inside the ZIP. Keep the files folder beside the installer.

YAIP has disappeared from my TV

Open Developer Mode and check whether it is still on. If it was disabled or expired, enable it again using step 2, then run the kit again. Local data may have been removed too.

Can I install with just a phone or USB stick?

This kit needs a Windows computer or Mac. Download it on that computer and use the home network to send YAIP to the TV. It does not install from a USB stick.

Still stuck? Tell us your TV model, computer system, YAIP version and the error you see. Hide passwords and passphrases in any pictures.
