Currently LGTVDeviceListener sets an ACE on the client key file that gives "CREATOR OWNER" full control.

The intent was to give the owner of the client key file full control, but that's not what happens in practice. Somewhat counter-intuitively, the "CREATOR OWNER" special SID does not affect the access modes of the owner of the object the ACE is attached to. Instead, a "CREATOR OWNER" ACE is used as a template to form an ACE that is automatically added to child objects (with the trustee being the creator of the child object).

Because files cannot have child objects, it doesn't make any sense to set a "CREATOR OWNER" ACE on a file. The ACE is a no-op.

The instructions state:

After downloading the executable, run it with --url first.

LGTVDeviceListener.exe --url ws://192.168.42.42:3000

This will do two things:

1. …
2. LGTVDeviceListener will then start listening for device events and log them to the console.

This is a lie - LGTVDeviceListener does not log device events if --url is passed (or, more specifically, it requires --verbose to be added as well). Either the instructions should be fixed, or LGTVDeviceListener should be changed to log device events in this case.

I've tried executing for the first time but it keeps failing with this message:

FATAL: Failed to set ACL entries: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

1. I see the confirmation dialog on my TV, so I know it's connecting.
2. I'm using Windows 11 with a microsoft account connected.
3. Tried with normal and admin powershell.
4. I searched the web and tried the fixes, but they all say it's caused when a username is changed. However, I never changed my username.

Thanks in advance!

For example:

[ERROR  ] FATAL: Failed to open client key file: unknown error

Whereas I expected:

[ERROR  ] FATAL: Failed to open client key file: Access is denied.

The root cause is this Visual C++ bug. It only seems to occur when the Windows locale is set to something other than en-US.

After updating to version 03.30.16, this error comes up and no longer switches input. Verbose doesn't display any additional information.
