Problem	Solution
"Discord disconnected" in tray	Make sure Discord is running, the app will reconnect automatically
No activity showing in Discord	Check that both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network
"Please enable local network permission" on iPhone	Go to iOS Settings → YouTube → Local Network and enable it
"Please start the server" on iPhone	Make sure YouTube Plus RPC is running on your desktop
RPC not working even on the same Wi-Fi	On Windows, disable any virtual network adapters (VMware, VPN adapters, TAP adapters, and similar). These can interfere with local network discovery and prevent your iPhone from reaching the desktop server
"app is damaged" on macOS	Run `xattr -cr "/Applications/YouTube Plus RPC.app"` in Terminal
