Paramount has published an open-source library for this, see https://github.com/paramount-engineering/QR-Code-generator-brightscript
However, when using this, make sure you comply with section 2.2 of the certification guidelines (https://developer.roku.com/docs/developer-program/certification/certification.md),
2.2 Channels that include authentication must complete account sign-ups and sign-ins on the device using On-device authentication. Sign-up and sign-in workflows are prohibited from including external webpages, links to off-device promotional or marketing materials, or utilizing off-device sign-up or sign-in mechanisms such as rendezvous linking.
Channels must complete upgrades and downgrades on the device using On-device upgrade and downgrade. The upgrade/downgrade workflows are prohibited from including external webpages.

Unless you're Netflix, or the BBC, or of similar size/influence. Then Roku's rules no longer apply, you can just do what you want.
