I just routed an HDMI cable to my PC that is in a different room.  Now I'm thinking it would be great if I could use the remote on the PC.  Does such a thing exist?  I didn't find anything when searching.

I do not think that you may use magic remote with PC, but you can use a phone app, such as Unified Remote.

well I use Unified Remote, but is there a plugin to use the Magic Remote as a Unified Remote mouse control?

It should be possible with Windows wireless screen sharing but mine is connected wired trough hdmi.

@kleajmp The LG Magic Remote can ONLY be paired with an LG smart TV with the internal BlueTooth adaptor inside it. It is usually a little WiFi/Bt Combo card about 2 inches square.

I have never heard of any "plugin" to use the LG Magic Remote for any other purpose.

      HDMI ports are automatically switching between each other.
      By starwoodtech
      I have a 65 Inch LG OLED evo AI C4 4K Smart TV 2024 - Model OLED65C4PUA.ACC. here have been a many weird things happening. This is one of them:
      I have 2 HDMI 2.1 cables attached to a Rogers Internet TV unit (HDMI 4) and the other 2.1 cable plugged into an XBOX Series X (HDMI 3). If the TV is on an HDMI 4 is active, and I turn on the XBOX (HDMI 3), the TV begins to swtich back and forth constantly and never ends until I turn off the TV. It will automatically switch itself from HDMI 4 to 3, then 3 to 4, then back to 3 again non-stop.
      If I power off the XBOX, this behaivor stops.
      Would anyone know why this does that? Is this a software or hardware problem? I tried to describe this to LG Support but they had no answers.

      Magic remote pointer settings
      By Raxo
      Add the option to turn off mouse acceleration. I think I would fins it much easier to aim the pointer if I could disable it. I always disable it on computers. You can just add it next to the pointer speed setting under General > System > Additional Settings > Pointer Options
       
      Two other settings I think would make sense to have would be a setting to disable the shake-remote-to-show-pointer feature. Although I like it I can sometimes find it annoying, so why not let the users decide. I always hate it when there aren't settings for things like these.
      The other setting would be to disable the pointer completely as many users have written that they want to disable it.

      HDMI ARC - Audio Out Not Working (Again)
      By jikhead
      I'm not getting any audio from the apps via the HDMI via ARC connection to my receiver.  This occurred two weeks ago and was unable to resolve it, but ironically there was new firmware released that same day for my B6 (3/31/17) and this fixed the issue.  However, now I again can't get it working after a TV reset and tinkering with the audio settings again.  I tried to load the firmware again, but it appears this is not possible to forceable load the same firmware.
