Homekit an LG smart TV 2019 not working

Hi,

From the Netherlands. I have a OLED 55C9. Airplay 2 works partly. But Homekit doesn't at all!. When scanning the QR code generated by the TV, the TV says it has been configured with Homekit. However, my Homekit app says that adding the LG OLED has failed. The tv is connected by ethernet and WiFi, the iPhone on the same wifi....With other iPhone no result either. My Apple TV in the attic functions as hub.

Some Airplay features work, others not:

MacBook Pro: ScreenMirror works, playing films from iTunes works, playing films directly from QuickTime and selecting Airplay to LG TV DOESN'T work.

iPhone: Airplay works with all features.

I already asked around on the LG forum, have reset my router, have done a factory reset of the TV, nothing works.

Anyone know a solution???

This has successfully worked for me too!!! Thanks so much!

P.S. I simply changed (shortened) the name of my TV cable provider as instructed above.

Yes this worked! I changed the name of my STB to Shaw and removed and re added Lg to HomeKit and it works now. Genius!

thanks.

On your iPhone go to settings, privacy, location services, System (that one is all the way down) and then make sure the switch behind Home Kit is ON... this worked for me and fixed the problem.

This fixed my problem:

Updated Firmware, Changed TV Name to “Living Room TV”, unplugged tv 10 seconds. plugged back in... Screen mirroring and airplay finally worked fine ,,
