Turning LG TVs into Music Assistant Speakers with a Visualizer

I have three LG TVs, and I wanted each one to work as a Music Assistant speaker. They also had to keep doing their normal TV job while the music played. Two apps now handle that, and both are open source:

  • Sendspin WebOS plays Music Assistant audio from a background service. The music mixes with live TV or HDMI audio and keeps going when the app is closed or the panel is off.
  • projectM for webOS is a native build of the projectM MilkDrop visualizer. It reacts to anything the TV plays, and Sendspin can open it in place of the screensaver.
