I also ran into this issue and believe I've identified a workaround if not a root cause. When this happened to me it was because I first had the game open on the Xbox (which I was readily using with a controller). What fixed it for me was:

Put the Xbox into rest mode
Hit the power button to turn it on, do not sign into an account, do not turn on a controller
Get Greenlight up and running, start a stream

So my guess is it's got something to do with either starting a game on Xbox first or possibly just signing into the account you're going to remote play with before connecting with Greenlight

I am having this issue also. I will try your suggestion and update this comment.

I also found that changing the color profile in display settings helped.

Update

I didnt realise the game itself (and some others I see) have a brightness option and using this has resolved this problem
