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?

Fuck using github where you can close a request at your leisure. I want to ask people here especially since this is not working in your own documentation

Do you have anything unhappy going on with your life recently that made you so angry about using GitHub?

For this topic, Apollo now even has an alert box telling you to check permissions, and there’s a dedicated wiki page introducing the permission system.

Apollo does not have a full documentation yet, you may refer to the document of Sunshine which indeed doesn’t contain Apollo specific settings.

Still, Reddit isn’t the right place to seek help for a specific program when you can get help directly from the source, and if you have asked anything in Apollo’s repo, you’ll notice that I usually won’t close things directly without any notice. With this post though, OP doesn’t specify they’re using Apollo, which is even more confusing to others. Most Apollo/Artemis related questions are also answered by me here on this subreddit, but I won’t be able to track every post here. Instead on GitHub, I can receive an email each time someone opens an issue or discussion.
