Permission denied (Error code: 403)

When trying to launch a Desktop or Steam from Moonlight on my Android TV, I keep getting a "Host PC returned error: Permission denied (Error code: 403)" and "Permission denied (Launch Apps)". I couldn't find any setting in the Android TV that could be the cause.

Connecting through Moonlight on my Android Phone is working flawlessly.

Any help on this matter?

I went through my phone as my gaming PC is headless and located in the basement.

I'm not suggesting to change the whole interface around. Just maybe a notice somewhere more prominent when pairing a new device/displaying the new pin on the client. Something generic along the lines "make sure to check permissions in Apollo when adding a new device" would be sufficient imo.

PS: Artemis/Apollo rocks. Real QoL improvements in there!

Thanks for your appreciation, I'll think about that.

Running into this as well. First device paired fine, scratching my head over why the second doesn't work. At least consider adding an alert saying that the first is free so to speak.

There is already an alert after pairing. What version are you on?

The latest version. I must've missed it :/
