Solved Roku ss (+) 4k can be control by LG remote universal set control by mobile set to permissive
If you follow the instruction correct this works. If you cannot follow the instructions then of course it not work, I carefully test this solution of my LG C1 55 OLED TV and it does work. If you do not follow all the instructions of course it will not work if you leave one part out. Wrong information confuses other people that need the help.
First set the Roku mobile apps setting to permissive and restart the Roku.
The streaming stick has to be plugged in HDMI port 2 which an eARC port and you have to set the LG TV universal control settings and test them.
Roku is OTT type and the Roku available to configure. If you cancel the setup enough you can also put the model number in.
Make sure the test setting are pointers, if not re-seat the Roku, that mean take it out and put it back in.
If you do not like my solution maybe you should ask Roku? Roku said to me that the LG Magic Remote is not compatible and does not work when it has worked for me for two years; and the instructions provided work for me after the update 1/8/2025 without Roku's help. In the end it is for Roku to provide the solution this one works for me.
Re: Roku ss (+) 4k cannot be control by LG Magic remote Universal settings stop working 2/10/2025 the day before LG push out a TV update LG say they do not know when they will have a fix. Since the LG Magic remote has worked with the Roku streaming stick for at least 3 years, it is unknown why LG would stop supporting their Magic remote on such an expensive TV, it would suggest another brand?

We appreciate your viewpoint, Alan. However, in this situation, since you are trying to use the magic remote designed for your LG TV with the Roku external device, we recommend reaching out to Roku directly to determine if their device is compatible with the IR transmission of an LG magic remote. Please understand that the magic remote is specifically intended to work with our products, and we cannot verify compatibility with other brands in this regard. We hope this information is helpful to you. Should you have any other concerns feel free to let us know anytime.
