HDCP error on netflix

When using the latest safari and using Netflix there is an error message saying this monitor is not HDCP compatible.  This only happens when routing audio through HDMI and using the monitors DVI connection for a picture.  HDMI is only used for audio which is does a very good job with Firefox that uses Silverlight.  Netflix says the problem arises with Safari because Safari uses HTML 5......

Then you should try an alternate cable.

  • Random HDCP errors with Netflix

    I've been getting random HDCP problems when streaming from Netflix, the error message "This content requires HDCP for playback".  Have tried the various fixes discussed here (swapping out my HDMI cable, power-cycling the ATV 2).  Some days it works, some days it doesn't, and it's getting very frustrating.  I have a Sony Blu-ray player that also streams Netflix, and it works fine.  I prefer the interface of the ATV 2, but I'm getting fed up with it working only inconsistently.  Also...I was under the impression HDCP is some sort of DRM for downloaded movies, why would/should this even apply to streaming Netflix content??

    Swapping HDMI cable was a sensible thing to try.
    I would also test another HDMI input if you have one.
    I can't get Netflix in UK but would assume Netflix may require HDCP to prevent copying of it's streams - the big companies want to prevent you from copying/recording shows/movies irrespective of how you watch them.

  • HDCP error: can't play iTunes movies or netflix with yosemite

    I get this error message: This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
    The movies won't play through Quicktime either.
    I get a similar error from Netflix and I've tried switching to Silverlight which work for a couple weeks but now it won't work again.
    I do not have my computer connected to any other device or second screen. 
    This is a brand new retina Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 16GB, 1TB Solid-state, Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB. 
    Everything is up-to-date.
    I have called Apple twice and they could not find a solution.  I hoped it would be resolved when the first update (10.10.1) came out...but nothing has changed.

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • HDCP Error AppleTV Can't watch Netflix

    I need to know where is Apple showing a solution about the HDCP error in AppleTV's arround the world.
    People are paying to get services like Netflix and this error besides being ridiculous, frankly is a huge frustration for users of Apple that certainly want THE BEST in these products (which are NOT cheap either).
    I've changed my cable, followed all step of these discussions suggest and nothing. This error is still there and NO ONE IN APPLE OFFERS some kind of solution.
    Please respond or something like that. People needs a solution soon.
    "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection."

    Best to give them feedback directly

  • HDCP error with Hulu and Netflix

    I've had a Apple TV 2 for a few years now and it has worked great.. Two days ago it stopped playing Hulu and Netflix and Vimeo.. All worked fine up until then.. It continues to give me a HDCP error when I try to use them.. It will try to load the program then after 4secs I get the error..  I have changed nothing on my set up.. I have reset and restored, unplugged the HDMI cable and power cable as well.. No luck.. The only thing it will play is content I purchase or have purchased from Apple.. Is anyone else having this issues.. Any help would be appreciated!!

    I would try testing with another tv to verify the problem is with the tv and not with the atv

  • Hdcp error trying to stream netflix

    We have been using Apple TV to stream net flix for about 9 months. Today, when we try to play any content it goes straight to an HDCP error or freezes after two seconds then goes to the HDCP error.  I have restarted everything several times and replaced the immediate hdmi cable (the other is in the wall).  Nothing seems to help.

    I have a Verizon TV.  I did a restore to the Apple TV and nothing.  I took the apple tv upstairs where we have another one and there were no issues.  I brought the upstairs one down, and same error.  I was going to try another port, but the way the tv is mounted, I can't access the a port.  I am starting to think it may be a cable running in the wall, but it has worked for several months.

  • Any Help For Yet Another HDCP For Playback/Netflix Problem?

    I have a very complex set-up and had no problem streaming until the other night and I have tried every single solution I can find online under the sun so that is why I am posting here.
    I have a Pioneer Receiver that I used a Terk Smart HDMI 3 x 1 Selector with and was able to stream Netflix with no problem.
    This is how everything used to be set up:
    Pioneer Receiver
    Blu-ray IN
    HDMI OUT Terk
    DVD IN
    Panasonic DVD Recorder OUT
    OUT
    Panasonic LCD TV HDMI 1
    Terk HDMI 3 x 1 Selector
    OUT
    Pioneer Receiver Bluray IN
    Panasonic Bluray Player
    Input 1
    AppleTV (3rd Gen.)
    Input 2
    Mac Mini (2010)
    Input 3
    Now here's the rub:  I also have a PS3.  I used to unplug either the ATV or Mini whenever I wanted to use it and I got tired of switching out so I bought a Monoprice 8 x 1 HDMI Selector.  The logic here being that I would have more than enough HDMI inputs to plug in everything.
    When I first hooked up the Monoprice, I hooked the OUT from it into the Bluray IN on the Pioneer and then hooked all of the HDMI cables from all of the various electronics into the INputs on it.  Tested all of them to see that it autoselected whatever I had chosen and even was able to stream on NF.
    This is how I have everything hooked up now:
    Monoprice 8 x 1
    OUT
    Pioneer Receiver Bluray IN
    ATV
    Input 1
    Panasonic Bluray Player
    Input 2
    PS3
    Input 3
    Mac Mini
    Input 4
    Panasonic DVD Recorder*
    Input 5
    *Bluray IN  and OUT are the only HDMI slots in use on the Pioneer Receiver using this hookup.
    Now all of a sudden yesterday I went to stream NF via the ATV and I got that "This content requires HDCP for playback" error.
    I did everything I could think of and also tried all of the suggestions I could find on the web.  I had already switched out the HDMI cables as I had bought new ones when I got the Monoprice.  So I hooked the Terk back up thinking it would "fix" things.  No dice.  I put the old HDMI cables back on.  No dice.  I have it hooked up now with the old HDMI cables and still no dice.  I unplugged everything and let it sit thinking I could force a new HDMI handshake.  NF started streaming for 5 seconds and froze -- and then the error message.
    I also have a Scientific Atlanta DVR that the ATV is plugged into that the HDMI 2 of the Panasonic TV is connected via HDMI.  The Panasonic TV isn't "old" as I think I got it in late 2009 or late 2010, as it has more than enough HDMI inputs, component, and also a PC connection -- in case someone wanted to suggest the TV wasn't capable of handling the hookups. The ATV is running the latest version of the software.
    This is really frustrating since it worked with no problem from the day I got the ATV and now after upgrading the switcher to get more HDMI inputs, everything went kaput.
    And I just don't know what to do.
    I'm not sure if having everything being dependent upon the Panasonic TV being powered on is affecting things, but it never affected things when I was using the 3 x 1 HDMI switch.  When I wanted to use the ATV, I'd press the Bluray input on the Pioneer receiver, hit the ATV remote and it would come on.  Click into NF and voila: streaming with no problems.
    Currently, I still do the same thing -- and I can listen to the radio, stream in iTunes Match on the ATV.  It's just the NF issue that's really beyond me.  The only thing I can think of to try is to maybe put the DVR in the surge protector slot so that it has to be powered on so that everything else will power up instead of the TV?
    I'm hoping someone has a suggestion that involves something other than restarting/restoring the ATV, or unplugging things for 30 seconds because I have tried everything I've come across.  I just don't know what to do but I really would like to be able to use NF on the ATV because I like the fact that it plays in Dolby, and I really don't want to have to go back to the PS3 to utilize that feature.
    In the meantime, I guess I will switch the DVR on the surge protector with the TV and see what happens if I change the way things power up in the chain.

    I am at a loss.  I thought I had a micro USB cord but since I didn't, I wasn't able to downgrade the software.
    I did a complete restore for kicks.
    This is the current setup
    ATV HDMI
    Panasonic TV HMDI 2
    ATV optical output
    Pioneer Receiver
    Again, all of the other devices run through the 8 x 1 switch box which is NOT powered on to use the ATV.
    I get the HDCP error whenever I try to access the following:
    Netflix
    Trailers
    Vimeo
    WSJ Live
    HHL and the other sports channels
    These work fine:
    Radio
    iTunes Match
    Podcasts
    Flickr
    TV Shows and Movies because I tested both watching previews and they streamed perfectly
    I've changed the settings on the ATV until I'm blue in the face and this is what they are currently:
    Dolby - Auto
    Audio Output - Auto
    HDMI Output - Auto
    TV Resolution - 1080p HD - 60Hz -- and yes I've had it set on both "Auto" and 720p HD - 60Hz and neither stopped the error once it started happening
    All of the equipment is HDCP compliant as I checked
    The cable between the TV and ATV
    The 8 x 1 switch box
    Panasonic TV specs -- it is HDCP compliant as I said in my 3rd post (according to the manual)
    The Pioneer Receiver (for good measure)
    I have no idea of what to do other than to hope that Apple does something with the next update to restore everything, as this HDCP issue is really beyond annoying and it's clear 5.2 broke something.  In the meantime, I really am open to suggestions to try something else other than smashing the ATV with a hammer

  • HDMI to VGA output possible (or will I get HDCP errors)?

    Hello.
    Does anyone know if it's possible to use an HDMI-to-VGA cable with the ATV (gen2)? I purchased an ATV for my parents and they can't use it as every time they go to play a movie rental or stream Netflix, they get an HDCP error saying "the connection doesn't support HDCP".
    I have confirmed their TVs HDMI (v1.3) ports all supports HDCP and I have also used various HDMI cables, but nothing I do works — it always results in an HDCP error.
    They have a VGA port available on their TV and I'm wondering if it would be possible to use an HDMI-to-VGA cable to play content? Or would this also result in an HDCP error?
    My only other option seems to be to return the ATV?
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    On my parents TV (32" LG LCD), I have tried various cables, etc. but can never get the ATV to play protected content. The first thing I did was take it home and plug it in, using the exact same cables, to my TV (42" LG LCD). Worked fine. I then tried with the 3 other HDMI cables I'd been trying at my parents house. All worked fine.
    This initially led me to believe it was an issue with their TV. So, I attached a number of other HDMI devices (that require HDCP) to their TV, and all worked fine, no errors. I then dealt with LG on this and they determined that everything was fine with the TV, especially since other HDMI-based devices requiring HDCP had no issues.
    So, at this point, the only thing left is that the ATV just doesn't like their particular TV. These boards are flooded with this issue on various models/brands of TV. I don't think there's any real solution other than returning the ATV. It's a bummer. I absolutely love my ATV and I know they would have too. Once again, shoddy copyright protection wins again.
    Thanks,
    k.

  • How do I fix a HDCP error?

    How do I fix a HDCP error on my IMAC? Im getting a error when attempting to view Netflix.

    To add to the other responses, I had a situation where even with an hdcp compliant display I got errors.  It was all due to a cheap cable which I replaced with an Extron one, problem solved,

  • I am getting a "HDCP" error, but nothing is different from yesterday.

    I am getting a "HDCP required" error message when attempting to watch Netflix. I was watching things with no problem yesterday and have not changed anything physical or any settings. Any ideas why this is happening?

    bee23.., I just had a pretty dramatic resolution of this problem that I wanted to share with people.  I think knowing the tv and the apple tv makes/versions are very important here.  I had an apple tv 2nd generation, os=6.1.? and a 4 to 5 year old samsung fairly high end tv (mite have been a 5500) with 4 hdmi ports.  My 2nd gen apple tv worked well with the television for over a year and all of the sudden I started getting the HDCP Playback error on Netflix and even iTunes purchased movies.  On another thread markndeb88 suggested that the new "auto" resolution setting on apple tv had upgraded was no longer in sync with most tv's purchased before 2012.  The "auto" setting my atv found was 720 60 mghz for some reason.  He suggested lowering the mghz to 50 to get it to work.   That didn't quite work for me.  But on the apple tv I went into Settings -> Audio and Video -> Resolution and the default is to be set to "auto".  I tried to set what markndeb88 suggested and the apple tv rejected that and said the tv was not compatible to that setting.   But the key here is to try different explicit settings until one is accepted by the apple tv and it will tell you quickly if the setting is incorrect, or that it's willing to use that setting.  In my case the apple tv accepted 1280 by 764 60mghz.   I rebooted the apple tv, checked to make sure my resolution setting survived the reboot, and then checked the netflix movie that was failing for me.  The results were dramatic.  The netflix movie worked the first time and it must have failed 15 times when I was playing with it last night.   I was using an apple tv hdmi cable for all of this and a kinivo hdmi splitter just to add complexity.  I personally feel that all the hdmi cable discussion you see on these threads are a red herring, even though some people report that different cables work for them.   I do think this is an apple bug.   My 2nd gen apple tv worked for a long time without this problem.  Some upgrade changed the auto setting such that it doesn't work for a lot of people.  I have never seen anything like this on my Roku's or Chromecast so someone knows how to dynamically adjust to the tv resolution they're talking to without a big problem.  The formal Apple answer to this problem that I can see is something about a "Sleep Now" setting Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): About Apple TV and HDCP.  I think that's bunk and don't waste your time.  I noticed this problem is intermittent.  One of my iTunes HD movies didn't work for a few tries and then it suddenly played.  The Sleep Now solution may tweak the intermittent nature in your favor occasionally. My solution is not to allow "Auto" to find the HD Setting (1280, 720) and to explicitly set your HD resolution for the television that is connected to your Apple TV.  I think my/markndeb88's solution to this problem gets to root cause, at least until the next Apple TV OS upgrade.

  • HDCP error with LG TV...

    Hello.
    I purchased a new Apple TV for my parents. I first set it up and tested it on my home TV (at 42" LG LCD TV) and all worked fine. So, I gave it to my parents and set it up on their home TV (a 32" LG LCD TV). As soon as they try and play rented content from iTunes store or Netflix, they get an error that says "This content requires HDCP for playback" and the video won't play. So, I brought the Apple TV back home, updated the software on the ATV and tried it again on my TV — again, no issues playing content. So, I brought it back to my parents, thus time with the same HDMI cable I was using at home, but again, I get the HDCP error and the video won't play. Tried three different HDMI cables and many of the suggestions found online to get things working, but nothing. For the records, the TV that won't work is an LG 32" LCD TV, model number 32LH30-UA. Anyone else have this model and having these issues?
    Right now, my only solution is to give them my old Apple TV (gen1) in exchange for the new Apple TV (gen2) since the older Apple TV had component connections, so they can at least use that get around the HDCP bug for iTunes rentals (though, they'll be out of luck for Netflix since Apple abandoned older Apple TV users on that one).
    Honestly, this is very frustrating. Once again, all these copyright protection "schemes" end up screwing the legit customer. If this doesn't get sorted out, then it's time to provide alternate, copyright protection-free content to my (and their) Apple TVs via the torrent of options available out there...
    k.

    I searched on LG's website for how to update the firmware on an LG TV. It says you need a "wired connection" (meaning via an ethernet cable) to an Internet modem or router, but my model (the 37LH30-UA) doesn't have an ethernet port. I have emailed LG about the issue, but my conclusion so far is that this TV is just not compatible with Apple TV. We'll see what LG has to say for themselves.
    If your parents' TV has an ethernet port, try updating the firmware and see if that works.

  • HDCP problem on Netflix?

    Streaming on Netflix has been working for me perfectly fine for the past 2 years that I've had the ATV 2. Now all of a sudden I am getting an HDCP error when trying to finish watching a show on Netflix which was just streaming fine 10 minutes ago.
    I've tried all the troubleshootings, from checking the HDMI cable to switching it around. I've also restarted the ATV. Streaming works fine everywhere else, I'm just getting this HDCP problem through Netflix all of a sudden.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated... thanks!

    High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection(HDCP; commonly, though incorrectly, referred to as High-Definition Copy(right) Protection) is a form of digital copy protectiondeveloped by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. Types of connections include DisplayPort (DP),Digital Visual Interface (DVI), and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), as well as less popular, or now defunct, protocols like Gigabit Video Interface(GVIF) and Unified Display Interface(UDI).
    Meaning, someone doesn't want you to be able to play the movie on the screen because of copyright reasons.
    Sorry. (I know, DRM sukcs!!)

  • Hdcp error 3

    I've tried everything I've read in here, powering off and on, changing resolutions, changing cables and switching between hdmi ports of the tv. Nothing can make atv3 get out of the hdcp error. Do I need to buy a new tv which will be a Smart tv with netflix already on it to use the ATV? that seems a little odd... Any solution for this?

    http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-26LH20-lcd-tv
    this is my tv, and as you can see in the manufacturers web site, it has both hdmi inputs with hdcp and both are 1.3
    any idea why I can't see hdcp content?

  • Apple tv 2 and HDCP error.

    I just replaced my apple tv with a apple tv 2. I have a Sony Bravia KDL-V32XBR1 and I'm getting the HDCP error. I'm using a RocketFish HDMI cable so I'm pretty sure that it supports HDCP.
    I can play Youtube, but no netflix and no rental or purchased. I cant do Youtube or any other streamed video from my iPad without getting the HDCP
    error message.
    Any ideas how to fix?
    thanks

    This is happening to me too- this is a replacement apple tv because I kept getting the green screen of death! I called for support, because I have iPods, iPhone, MacBook pro and air book in my household and the support people would not address any problems with Apple TV- 
    I got the impression they felt the product was worthless-
    It is just at the one year warranty and I am fed up! NO MORE APPLE TV when there are so many products that offer service.
    I have tried changing video output, tv specs, and my gold rocket fish are the best cables around! I think it is apple's new update that took six hours to load a few days ago- Pure garbage! Not even fit for eBay!
    Rediculous!  Sure will make me think twice about buying apple again!
    NO STEP by STEP SOLUTIONS-
    Apple has become CORPORATOCRACY PERSONIFIED- 
    Take our money and then absolutely no service.
