Reverse engineering an LG TV with Claude Code to build a native Plex client

Steps

1. 1Root a development LG TV, extract the native library files, and perform reverse engineering analysis using Ghidra.
2. 2Consult webOS Homebrew community documentation to have the AI (Opus) locate internal implementations, addresses, and strings within the binaries.
3. 3Write an initial C prototype to test whether the TV could render a native interface at 60 fps by rendering colored squares.
4. 4Hand the problem over to the AI to hook up the local media stack, successfully rendering video output on the screen.
5. 5Address memory and ownership errors (such as stack overflows) caused by C refactoring by progressively migrating the project to Rust to leverage strict compiler checks.
6. 6Handwrite shaders and a custom UI library on top of OpenGL to implement navigation, focus handling, animation, and caching, ultimately hitting the 60 fps performance target.
