    TLDR

    A post says a Reddit user reverse-engineered an LG TV and built a native Plex client using Claude Code, Opus and Fable. The user reportedly moved from C to Rust and made an OpenGL UI framework. On the same TV, the post says the profile picker loads in 3 seconds instead of 30. It also reports 60 fps, 4K, Dolby Vision and Atmos support, and says the project is open source.
