Since you didn't reveal which LG it was I'll leave with the usual fix and a warning.

Hi,
I've have an external hard drive connected to my Apple Airport Extreme which is shared on my network.
Is there an app or tweak so I can access the content of the HDD on my LG Smart TV?
Something about accessing a network drive via either the SMB or APP file sharing protocol.
Thanks!
