Microsoft to discontinue Copilot on LG and Samsung smart TVs in 2026

Microsoft is ending support for its Copilot AI assistant on smart TVs, according to an on-screen notification spotted by Windows Central on an LG webOS TV. The notice says the feature is scheduled for discontinuation sometime in 2026, though no exact date has been set, and neither Microsoft, LG, nor Samsung has made a formal announcement. Copilot had let viewers chat with an AI assistant, ask about on-screen content, or get show recommendations since launching on TVs at CES 2025.

Open-source PlxNative app speeds up Plex on older LG webOS TVs

An independent developer has released PlxNative, a free open-source Plex client built specifically for LG TVs running webOS, aimed at fixing the sluggish menus that plague older sets. Rather than running inside a browser like the official app, it renders its interface natively using Rust and OpenGL while still handing off video playback to the TV's built-in hardware decoder. It can be installed through the Homebrew Channel or sideloaded using LG's Developer Mode and webOS Dev Manager.
