It seems there is a problem opening a socket. Any ideas how to fix this?

Does the alga setup command complete without issues, or does this error occur as part of that command?

Are you able to connect to the TV outside of alga? You can for instance try with nc (netcat) if you have it installed:

~ % nc -vz lgwebostv.lan 3001
Connection to lgwebostv.lan port 3001 [tcp/redwood-broker] succeeded!

It's part of the setup routine. There are some logging blocks that look similar. You can see in all of them that the setup tries to connect the right ip address. I'm using LGTVCompanion on my Windows PC with the same LG C2, could this be the problem? Is the ip + port already blocked?

Response of nc:
nc: getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

I don't have a Windows machine at hand, but I managed to get one set up in VM to test this out, and didn't experience any issues:

That is with a stock Windows 11 installation. I haven't configured firewalls or anything like that.

I don't think there's much more I can do on this at the moment. If you can provide any more information that might help identify an issue, I'll be happy to take a look.
