Hey everyone, has anyone else had problems with the Roku remote app not working on their Mac? It used to be fine, but recently it just won’t connect to my Roku TV at all. I’ve tried restarting everything and even checked my Wi-Fi, but the app either freezes or shows no devices. It’s really frustrating because I rely on it a lot. Wondering if there’s a known fix or a workaround for this issue?

Hey! Yeah, I ran into the same issue a while back. The Roku remote app on Mac can be super unreliable sometimes, especially after updates. One thing that helped me was making sure both my Mac and Roku were on the same Wi-Fi network—not just the same router but the exact same frequency band. Also, I found a detailed guide explaining common fixes for this exact problem here: remote control for Roku TV. It covers everything from resetting your network settings to adjusting firewall permissions on Mac. For me, disabling the Mac’s firewall temporarily and restarting both devices got it working again. Also, double-check if your Roku firmware is up to date because outdated software can cause connection drops. Hope this helps!
