App visible in launcher, nothing happens when selected

When I plug my USB in, the Twitch app appears in the launcher, but nothing happens when I click it. Have I done something wrong?
I don't think you have done anything wrong, you can try and update your WebOS, and see if that helps. Altho, we do have a problem atm, with the stream player and uploading a new version though LG. We are currently working on a new build that might go into beta and maybe the LG Store.
But for now, i can't give you an ETA on when this is done. You can try and look up "Simple Twitch" which is another Twitch player for LG TV, and see if that is working for you.

I had same issue, but if you download the WebOS TV SDK and build the app on TV the app works fine!
Thanks @PatrickRorth by this app, I will manage to improve some functions!
@georgepetz I've downloaded the SDK on my PC and the Developer Mode on the TV but I don't know how to import the twitch app to the SDK and how to send the app to the TV. I tried the SDK instructions on LG Developers website but it's confusing. Did you use the IDE or the SDK? Can you make a mini tutorial on how to do this? Please =)
@gabscortes thanks for the questions. I followed the steps below:
-
I used IDE to import the project (http://webostv.developer.lge.com/sdk/ide/setting-project/#importWebOSProject) that I cloned from here.
-
I connected my TV to the IDE (http://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/app-test/), but by some issue, I've had to connect twice to establish the good connection.
-
Finally, I launched the app and select the real TV as the target device (http://webostv.developer.lge.com/sdk/ide/launching-your-app/#launchWebapp).
I hope that helps.
