GLIBC_2.17 not found // WebOS 1.x not supported

[Ralf-Itter]

On my LG I run into this error

./hyperion-webos --help

./hyperion-webos: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by ./hyperion-webos)

It seems that the device is unfortunately too old.
Does anyone have an idea or solution without turning the TV into a brick?

Hey, we currently sadly only support webOS 3.4 and above.

[tuxuser]

However, glibc 2.17 should be supported by now at least

However, glibc 2.17 should be supported by now at least

The buildroot-nc4 toolchain targets glibc 2.12, thus supporting devices as old as Netcast 4 all the way up to the latest WebOS

Is this still a thing? Is it worth a try to install this on a WebOS 1.4.0 now, or doesn't it work anyways? I'm a bit hesitant to try in case it sends my old TV into a bootloop or something. Yet, I'd like to run Hyperion, or at least the screengrabber part of it.

[Ralf-Itter]

I still have the old LG. I'm still interested in a way to run a screengrabber for protected content on 1.4.0. For unprotected content I take screenshots with “luna://com.webos.service.tv.capture/executeOneShot”, get the jpeg as base64 via Telnet and can then use the image to control LED stripes around the TV.
