hey, i'm trying to stream from a linux desktop (sunshine) to a windows 11 laptop (moonlight)

For now, i'm testing on the same network. About the sunshine version, i tried with the flatpak (bazzite portal) and the community managed layer, both in release channel

Even when i disable the windows and bitdefender firewalls entirely on the client, i get the the following error after a few seconds of a black screen : no video recieved from host, check firewall rules for ports 47998 & 48000

during those 10 seconds, the client's mouse controls the host's cursor, only there is a black screen on the client's screen. disabling the igpu didn't help

a log is attached below. I will gladly provide any other useful info on request if it can help make that obscure thing work. thanks a lot for reading :)

Lost username & pw for localhost signin to Sunshine UI
Lost username & pw for localhost signin to Sunshine UI
Support

I had Sunshine working 1-2 years ago and went to try using it again but have managed to loose the sign in credentials. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it did not force prompt me to create new username and pw.

I looked at the Support doc page and all it says is type this:

sunshine --creds {new-username} {new-password}

(entering new credentials+pw with no brackets, ofc)

I tried the command in Terminal and is says

'sunshine' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Is there a solve? Thanks in advance for any help or insight.
