    Website not working on SmartTV's

    Not really an Umbrao question per se, but I thought I'd put this one out there to see if anyone else has an answer.

    I have a website that is heavily reliant on AngularJS to run a lot of the front end, and it works great on standard browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Edge) on PC's, Apple devices etc. It does work on some SmartTV's native browsers (e.g my 8 year old Samsung) but not on some (e.g. my 1 year old LG OLED).

    So I thought I'd take a look at the Umbraco backend on my LG telly to see if it worked, and it does. Including a whole load of my own administrative controls that use effectively the same AngularJS scripts and calls as my front end does.

    I had a look on Google for solutions and polyfills.js seems to crop up, but even adding that didn't make a difference. Also, most results seem to be directed more at native WebOS apps and Angular CLI, which I'm guessing is not really what is used for Umbraco.

    I've even linked directly to the angular librarys in Umbraco (/Umbraco/libs/....) and added in lazyload.js to see if that made any difference to the front end.

    So what's the difference between the two areas? I'm assuming that admin section is loading in some set of scripts or something that allows AngularJS to operate on the LG TV that I'm not loading for the front end. What am I missing? No doubt it's something really simple, but would greatly appreciate any help on this on.
