Dev Uses Claude to Reverse-Engineer LG webOS, Rewrites Plex Client in Rust at 60 FPS

Reddit user 1411337 used Claude to reverse-engineer LG's webOS media stack and build a native Rust Plex client from scratch for a 2019 TV. The result: the profile screen loads in 3 seconds instead of 30, the app runs at 60 FPS, and it supports 4K, Dolby Vision and Atmos. A striking showcase of AI-assisted low-level reverse engineering.
