LG Camera Overlay 1.0.0 provides a transparent webOS camera app, portable Node/FFmpeg relay, local Docker/Compose build, and Home Assistant launch/alert blueprints.

Start with the installation guide. Install the IPK on the TV, configure the relay's pinned SSH access and private camera source, then create the HA scripts. HACS is not required.

Assets:

  • com.mbs.cameraoverlay_1.0.0_all.ipk: prebuilt TV app with GPL and MIT notices.
  • LG-Camera-Overlay-1.0.0-source.zip: matching tracked source and lockfiles; excludes private configuration and dependencies.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt: asset checksums.

Validation: Windows/macOS/Linux tests, Linux TV-package source comparison, and a real FFmpeg/WebSocket smoke test in the supplied Linux container passed. HA 2026.10.1 Docker lab testing validated blueprint import, cooldown, priority and Pause/Resume. A separate app on an OLED65B9PLA decoded real camera video at roughly 24–25 fps; first-frame timings were individual samples, not guarantees. Timeout and lab-issued BACK were followed by encoder cleanup. The test app and relay were removed/stopped, and HA Test was stopped again with its unrelated Calor integration disabled. Production overlay configuration was preserved.

Compatibility update, 15 October 2026: the user confirmed that the overlay works on the LG OLED65B9PLA both with Plex running directly on LG webOS and with Plex running on an Apple TV connected through HDMI. The overlay runs on the LG in both cases. The viewing report did not identify the exact package version or itemize audio/BACK/timeout checks. See the current validation record for details. Disney+, other TV/HDMI source combinations, power-cycle/reboot recovery and a real NAS-container-to-TV route remain unverified.

No FFmpeg binary or container image is redistributed. Runtime dependency audit is clean; the isolated official webOS CLI has upstream transitive build-tool advisories, documented separately. Own code is GPL-3.0-only, with original third-party notices retained.
