Adds an LG webOS TV entry to Clients and Install a Client, pointing at
the community-maintained pf-webos project (dyptan-io) and its sideload
steps (Homebrew Channel + .ipk) — not an official punktfunk client.

## webOS (LG TV) — community
[`pf-webos`](https://github.com/dyptan-io/pf-webos) is a native client for LG webOS TVs, built and
maintained by the community ([dyptan-io](https://github.com/dyptan-io)) on top of punktfunk's
`punktfunk/1` protocol and core. It's not an official punktfunk app, but it speaks the real protocol
directly (not Moonlight/GameStream) — LAN discovery or add-by-IP, PIN pairing with pinned reconnects,
hardware video decode via webOS's NDL DirectMedia API, and a browsable game library with cover art,
navigable with the Magic Remote.
It ships as a sideloadable `.ipk` (homebrew package) rather than through the LG Content Store — see
[Install a Client](/docs/install-client#lg-webos-tv-community) for the sideload steps.
## Linux reference client (headless)

## LG webOS TV (community)
> **Community project.** [`pf-webos`](https://github.com/dyptan-io/pf-webos) is built and maintained
> by [dyptan-io](https://github.com/dyptan-io), not the punktfunk team — file issues and bugs on

LG's webOS doesn't allow apps outside the LG Content Store without sideloading, so install needs
**Developer Mode** and the **Homebrew Channel** once:
1. Enable Developer Mode on the TV and install the [Homebrew Channel](https://www.webosbrew.org/) —
follow its [install guide](https://www.webosbrew.org/guide/getting-started.html) if you haven't
done this before.
2. Grab the latest `.ipk` from the
[pf-webos releases page](https://github.com/dyptan-io/pf-webos/releases/latest).
3. Install it: either sideload with `ares-install` / the project's `task deploy TV_HOST=root@<tv-ip>`
(see the repo's README), or side-copy the `.ipk` onto the TV and install it from the Homebrew
Channel's app.
4. Launch **Punktfunk** from the TV's launcher, discover your host over LAN (or add it by IP), and
[pair](/docs/pairing) with a PIN.
