Bugfixes:
v 3.2.5 New feature: added an option to restore the monitor topology before logon, at system boot. You can enable it in the global options. New feature: added command -button_nocheck to allow for sending arbitrary button press commands via the command line interface Bugfix: erroneous calculation of CIDR / subnet mask leading to erroneous warnings
v 3.2.9 Critical bugfix: service crashed in specific circumstances
This build sees the advent of an additional executable included in the setup package and a few fixes.
"LGTVcli.exe" is a console command line interface which can accept all the normal command line commands, but adds some important tricks. Most importantly it is a console application and will print the output of any command issued to your devices in the console/stdout. So you can now easily query your device for information (f e current system settings, audio settings or picture settings). Please read more about the new console app and usage scenarios in the command line documentation here
Additionally a new user configurable option has been added to control the timing of the shutdown/restart routines. By default the app will trigger the shutdown/restart routine as late as possible during system shutdown, but if you are having issues with the display not properly powering off you may want to try changing this option. The option can be found in the general options. Please make sure to read the help text in the app by clicking on the "What's this?" link to learn more about how it works.
New features
Important fixes
Version 3 of the application expands on the original scope and provide the user with a large range of command line tools to control both the application and managed devices. For example you can now simulate remote key presses, set picture and audio preferences, manage options and menus, launch apps, launch service menus (careful). This can be used standalone or in external scripts/applications to automate, e.g automatic picture mode changes when a game is launched etc

Other important fixes
v3.0.1 adds a bugfix for the virtual remote button press function over v3.0.0 v3.0.7 fixes a major bug which prevented some devices from turning off properly when system was shutting down, as well as a few minor bugfixes wrt log messages and parsing of some command line. This build also sees the addition of the -freesyncinfo command line. Documentation has been updated accordingly.
This is a quick bugfix release, so with the same changelog as v2.2.0:
Please note! The "Discussions" tab on GitHub was opened and a post has been added outlining the new scripting feature , with some usage examples. External scripts/applications can use the feature to communicate with LGTV companion and attached devices. This has the potential to, for example, open up for user created scripts for syncing power state of other brands of TVs and "smart" devices, launching applications, integration with home automation, access to the LG api etc etc. The scripting feature is to be considered beta in this version and is not feature complete, but is quite usable and useful already.
