Inconsistent HDCP?

I bought the movie Oblivion in iTunes and can watch it on my Samsung TV via Apple TV with no problems. Then I bought the movie "The Bourne Legacy" and it cannot be shown because supposedly my hardware is not HDCP compatible. All my hardware is HDCP compatible and I can watch other iTunes recent movies without any problem. So what's the deal? Is "The Bourne Legacy" different to other movies in any HDCP sense?
I'd appreciate any advice.
Gabe

HDCP is not needed for everything, but sounds as though AppleTV thinks your TV/display doesn't support HDCP (copy protection).
How old is the TV, unless very old it should support HDCP over HDMI.  Occasionally there are incompatibilities.
It could be the HDMI cable ro TV HDMI socket - try another cable, HDMI socket on TV or even a different TV with the same cable.
Process of elimination really.
It could be the AppleTV HDMI connector too.

  • This content requires HDCP for playback problem! Apple TV2

    Owned Apple TV for two weeks. Two weeks ago, everything was fine for films already in my iTunes library.
    This week, when selecting play on a movie, I get the message 'This content requires HDCP for playback problem' inconsistently. Some vids work, some don't. Then they do then they don't! I have tried on a Samsung TV and a Sony Bravia? Same for both!
    How do I resolve this. I have tried different HDMI ports, turned Apple TV 2 off and on. Tried different cables (Although my HDMI cable is the one I purchased from Apple).
    Any suggestions? Is it something Apple need to fix? This is kinda embarrassing when I tell friends how good Apple TV is, get them round to watch a movie and inconsistently get this.
    Many Thanks for any help
    Dave.

    I too sadly have this handshaking issue. I'm in Phoenix, AZ. Day one buyer for ATV2. Worked all of about two days in terms of streaming HD content from either my MAC or netflix. About the third time i tried to stream HD content from Netflix or Blu Ray digital copies from my Mac, I get the HDCP compliance message stating my display is not authorized.
    I have tried every concievable combination of unplugging and rebooting of TV (Samsung 2005 DLP), ATV2, and HDMI switcher (Monoprice) and nothing will work. My DirecTV HD-DVR works like a charm. If I rent an HD pay per view from DirecTV, no problem. If I rent an HD movie on iTunes, won't display it due to the HDCP issue. I've NOT ONCE had an issue with my DirecTV HDDVR having an HDCP compliance issue and of course its connected to my TV via HDMI thru my monoprice HDMI four port switch.
    I guess the only other thing I could try is exchanging the unit itself. But everything else works as advertised. It feels like this is just a software issue that needs to be patched, and fast.

  • 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.

  • OPEN_INTERFACE_REJECTS- INCONSISTENT SUPPL SITE

    Payables Open Interface Import program is throwing INCONSISTENT SUPPL SITE, when a third party vendor site code and third party vendor site id is passed along with matching PO number for creating an invoice for third party vendor site.
    Can any one let me know, how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    this could be due to passing values which are not correct for the vendor_site_id field ....do compare this transaction with other transactions that are imported successfully past, so that we can narrow down on the data which is different ...

  • HDCP Notification - Ruining the World One Laptop at a Time...

    I have a Toshiba Windows 8 Laptop that I've been downloading and watching HD movies on since March of this year.
    ALL OF A SUDDEN... it decides to start telling me this:
    To play *insert movie title* in HD, you must have a computer with a built-in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP.
    Let me reiterate that I have been watching these very same movies on this laptop for 9 months already with no issues.  How did my computer suddenly become less awesome??? 
    What really takes the cake is that I can watch BluRay discs and HD movies that I've downloaded from other sources via Windows Media Player and VLC Media Player. It's only iTunes HD movies that won't play with iTunes- or anything else known to mankind, since Apple is "awesome" like that.
    I'm also pretty angry about the multitudes of $$ I spent on all the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions, etc through iTunes, and now I can't actually watch them. I'm living in a foreign country, so it's not like I can pop over to Best Buy- not that I actually want to BUY THEM AGAIN.
    As I marked this as a question, I'll ask: has anyone found a solution to this malarkey?  No? Thought not. Good luck to everyone else being screwed by this. 
    Ahoy!

    I really can't say it enough: I'VE BEEN WATCHING THESE MOVIES ON THIS COMPUTER FOR 9 MONTHS.

  • SAP System inconsistency for Inbound delivery / MIGO and a "sap note"

    Hello Friends ,
    After following SAP instruction on how to remove the inconsistency between posting GR through MIGO (Inv. mang.) and the reflection of the goods movement status in the inbound delivery document - done that using sap note 570991
    the problem is that the system start behaving in a weird way throwing unjustified Error messages for any suggested goods receipt using MIGO with reference to inbound
    for example after creating an inbound delivery document and trying to post it via migo , an error will pop up
    - Inbound delivery storage location cannot be changed to here Message no. VLA316
    the thing is i didn't even maintain any storage location entry up to that point and yet i cannot post any stock !!
    also another error  like
    - Inbound delivery batch cannot be changed to *** here
    which doesn't make any sense because there is not batches in the inbound document !!
    i think this behavior is coming from the "Document Flow Update for Stock Postings" inbound  indicator  at the shipping parameter at client level customization
    i need help on  how to overcome this annoying SAP Bug/Problem specially i am in a post go live critical situation

    Hi,
       The messages you mentioned were introduced to avoid inconsistency between inbound delivery and IM, through the note:  1050944 - GR for inbound delivery using inventory mgmt as of ECC 6.00
       If the messages are issued incorrectly, then you may check for SAP notes (I couldnt find anything relevant) or raise an OSS ticket to SAP.

  • Inconsistency between catalog authoring tool & Search engine

    Hi,
    We are on CCM2.0 and SRM5.0 with catalog deployment in the same client as SRM.
    In our implementation we are using master catalog and product catalog. We have very recently deleted around 65 items from our product catalog which is mapped to mater catalog and hence those 65 items are not found anymore in master catalog in CAT (Catalog authoring tool).
    This master catalog when published, we expect that these 65 products should not be available for end users.
    But end users can still see the deleted items through CSE (Catalog search engine). Thus there is data inconsistency between CAT & CSE.
    Has anyone faced similar issue before if yes can you please share the same with us.

    Run TCODE SE38 program /CCM/CLEANUP_MAPPING to look for errors/orphaned records in test mode.
    If you want to clear out orphaned records uncheck the Test Mode but:
    Warning: This program can slow down a production system as it clears out the memory buffers for user catalog searches and these have to be built up again by the users doing searches.  This can be  hours to days depending upon the size of your system and the number of users.
    In Dev or UAt no problem.
    Hope this helps?

  • Inconsistency between get-childitem -include and -exclude parameters

    Hi,
    Powershell 2.0
    Does anyone else consider this a minor design bug in the Get-ChildItem command?  
    # create dummy files
    "a","b","c" | % {$null | out-file "c:\temp\$_.txt"}
    # this "fails", returns nothing
    get-childitem c:\temp -include a*,b*
    # this "works", returns desired files
    get-childitem c:\temp\* -include a*,b*
    # this "works", excludes undesired files
    get-childitem c:\temp -exclude a*,b*
    # this "fails", excludes undesired files BUT RECURSES sub-directories
    get-childitem c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b*
    I'm writing a wrapper script around the GCI cmdlet, but the inconsistency between the two parameters is problematic.  My end user will surely just type a path for the path parameter, then wonder why -include returned nothing.  I can't unconditionally
    add an asterisk to the path parameter, since that messes up the exclude output.
    I'm just wondering why Microsoft didn't make the parameter interaction consistent???  
    # includes desired files in the specified path
    get-childitem -path c:\temp -include a*,b*
    # excludes undesired files in the specified path
    get-childitem -path c:\temp -exclude a*,b*
    # combine both options
    get-childitem -path c:\temp -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*.tmp
    # same as above, the asterisk doesn't matter
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b*
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b*
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*.tmp
    # same as above, but explicitly recurse if that's what you want
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -recurse
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b* -recurse
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*tmp -recurse
    If I execute the "naked" get-childitem command, the asterisk doesn't matter...
    # same results
    get-childitem c:\temp
    get-chileitem c:\temp\*
    If this isn't considered a bug, can you explain why the inconsistency between the two parameters when combined with the -path parameter?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    The Get-ChildItem cmdlet syntax is horrific for advanced use. It's not a bug in the classic sense, so you shouldn't call it that. However, feel free to call it awful, ugly, disastrous, or any other deprecatory adjective you like - it really is
    nasty.
    Get-ChildItem's unusual behavior is rooted in one of the more 'intense' dialogues between developers and users in the beta period. Here's how I recall it working out; some details are a bit fuzzy for me at this point.
    Get-ChildItem's original design was as a tool for enumerating items in a namespace -
    similar to but not equivalent to dir and
    ls. The syntax and usage was going to conform to standard PowerShell (Monad at the time) guidelines.
    In a nutshell, what this means is that the Path parameter would have truly just meant Path - it would not have been usable as a combination path specification and result filter, which it is now. In other words
    (1) dir c:\temp
    means you wanted to return children of the container c:\temp
    (2) dir c:\temp\*
    means you wanted to return children of all containers inside
    c:\temp. With (2), you would never get c:\tmp\a.txt returned, since a.txt is not a container.
    There are reasons that this was a good idea. The parameter names and filtering behavior was consistent with the evolving PowerShell design standards, and best of all the tool would be straightforward to stub in for use by namespace
    providers consistently.
    However, this produced a lot of heated discussion. A rational, orthogonal tool would not allow the convenience we get with the dir command for doing things like this:
    (3) dir c:\tmp\a*.txt
    Possibly more important was the "crash" factor.  It's so instinctive for admins to do things like (3) that our fingers do the typing when we list directories, and the instant failure or worse, weird, dissonant output we would get with a more pure Path
    parameter is exactly like slamming into a brick wall.
    At this point, I get a little fuzzy about the details, but I believe the Get-ChildItem syntax was settled on as a compromise that wouldn't derail people expecting files when they do (3), but would still allow more complex use.  I think that this
    is done essentially by treating all files as though they are containers for themselves. This saves a lot of pain in basic use, but introduces other pain for advanced use.
    This may shed some light on why the tool is a bit twisted, but it doesn't do a lot to help with your particular wrapping problem. You'll almost certainly need to do some more complicated things in attempting to wrap up Get-ChildItem. Can you describe some
    details of what your intent is with the wrapper? What kind of searches by what kind of users, maybe? With those details, it's likely people can point out some specific approaches that can give more consistent results.

  • Inconsistency between tbtco and tbtcs

    Hello guys,
    we have a big problem after our HWU upgrade.
    We have copied the content of tbtco into a new table tbtco_copy before the upgrade to save all the job entries.
    After this we have deleted the contant of tbtco. So we had no scheduled jobs for the HWU
    After the HWU we have copied back the content of tbtco_copy into tbtco.
    But now we have a inconsistency between tbtco and tbtcs. This means that all planed and released jobs are not starting (delay goes up).
    How we can start this jobs << Removed >>

  • New MBP -- Wireless Connectivity Inconsistent (Despite MBP's Claims)

    Have a new MBP, running 10.5.6 straight out of the box. All essential system updates have been downloaded and installed (one FCE update remains undownloaded). The Airport connection is tenuous -- it will stay connected to the internet for hours at a time, and then go out repeatedly. Every time it goes out, diagnostics claim it is connected, as does the Network dialogue in System Preferences, even when it is impossible to load any web page (or complete system update downloads!).
    A few things:
    1. At no point does the MBP indicate that it has lost a connection to the wireless network.
    2. While internet connection is lost on MBP, I am still able to connect wirelessly with my Powerbook, implying that internet connection/router/ISP is not to blame.
    3. I tried entering IP information manually, but to no avail. On a lark, I switched the IP address of the MBP with the PB, but PB continued to be able to connect to internet while MBP struggled.
    4. While internet connection via my secure wireless network is lost on MBP, I am able to connect MBP to a nearby unsecured wireless network (presumably a neighbor's). I have purposely not maintained connection to this wireless network for long stretches (though I'm using it now to compose this query), so I don't know that the connectivity issues are absent when connected to it, but I have not experienced any inconsistency when connected to it, even in phases when I am experiencing inconsistency with my secure network.
    5. My network is secured by way of a WEP 128-bit hexadecimal password. However, the settings under Network in System Preferences insist on calling it a WEP password, no matter how many times I change it to WEP 128 hex.
    6. On a couple of occasions, when experiencing proper connectivity on my secure network, I have tried locking the Network settings in System Preferences. Paradoxically, doing this seems to immediately disconnect me from the internet.
    That's all I can think of for now. This problem seems not unrelated to some other problems described in messageboards across the web, but I didn't see anyone outline the problem in the exact way that I've experienced it (nor have I seen a sure-fire solution posted to the problems I have read about).

    Folks: *there may be a power/signal issue going on here.* I had a similar problem of my network connection dragging to practically nothing when hooking up my LaCie external drive to the USB port. Please see my post below (link and text)
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9914924#9914924
    Folks:
    Apple needs to get on this issue fast; after turning off my N mode on my WRT160N Linksys Router, I got my packet speed back up to where it should be... HOWEVER I noticed another problem.
    When I hooked up my LaCie external drive (connected via USB), my packets on PING practically stall to nothing. I then eject the external USB drive and re-ping and I get acceptable packet speeds; I re-connect the LaCie external drive to the USB port and my PING crawls to nothing.
    There is CLEARLY a correlation between the network speed crawling to nothing while hooking up an external drive; possibly a power sink and/or signal interference on the Airport when hooking up a USB device? (or perhaps even Firewire 800 too?)
    I sure hope Apple is reading this one, because this could be a MAJOR issue that needs to be fixed ASAP.

  • My experience with Apple TV and HDMI/HDCP issues

    I am convinced that it is the software update to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 that is causing this issue.  All forms of applications only worked once for me and then it reverted back to HDCP issues.  I read several postings everywhere including plenty at Apple's forum and AVS where people were very frustrated with this HDCP issues.  Anyways, here is what I did before taking it back to Apple store....I bought AUVIO high speed cables from Radio Shack which is rated very high and tried that and I still got HDCP issues when using NetFlix or AirPlay from iPad.  Youtube from Apple TV always worked well without HDCP complaints.
    I packed everything back and took it to Apple Store (you can return without re-stocking fee up to 14 days from the day of purchase).  After 14 days, you cannot even return it and you can ONLY fix it.  I waited for a Technician.  They heard my complaints but didn't refute any of it (possibly because they have had numerous complaints on this product).  It took 5 minutes inside for them to test and see similar issues with the box that I had.  So, they have swapped it for a new box.  Before I left the store, I checked the settings including software version and Audio/Video settings in the Apple TV that is connected at the store.  I found three main differences none of which the Apple customer service staff agreed could be the reason for my problems (surprise!!)
    1.  The software update from the shelf and the one they were using was NOT updated to 4.2.2 (it was still running 4.2.1)
    2.  Because of the software update, the Audio/Video setting for HDMI had the options to toggle between Auto, RGBy, RGBhi & RGBlo bandwidth.  I believe this was in place to make the HDMI interface output as component with higher or lower bandwidth but the newer update will ONLY give you the Auto option (!!!)
    3.  They had this directly Ethernet wired and not through Wireless network and were recieving the all the full bar strength signals.  On the box that I returned, eventhough I have 18 Mbps speed at the house (any given time of the day), the Network speed test was taking a long time.  Moreover, after the Apple TV network test, it doesn't spit out the outcome of the tests (a BIG bummer and useless for testing).
    Anyways, I took the new box and hooked it up directly to my SONY BRAVIA XBR3 TV to one of the HDMI ports, disabled the feature to send or recieve data to Apple directly and did NOT update the software.  It worked fine and have tested all of the options.  From what I have read so far (I have only spent 30 hours of my weekend on this when Apple product hookups are supposed to take 5 minutes ONLY), there is NO guarantee that it will work continuously as people have had things work on them for 6 months and then suddenly have the HDCP issues.
    Will wait to see....if it continues to work....

    I figured it out. Had to go to general settings on the main screen and restart. Synch of audio is much better.

  • Included Mini-DVI to DVI adapter does not support HDCP and iTunes HD movies

    Hi.
    Just downloaded Twilight in HD (to own) from the iTunes Store and had the annoying message about HDCP not being supported by my display, and that I could not play the movie in HD.
    My Mac Mini is plugged to a very HDCP-compliant Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV via Apple's mini-DVI to DVI adapter (included in the new Mac Mini's box) and a DVI to HDMI cable.
    (HDCP works well for this TV with a PS3, another Sony Blu-Ray player (the 2 are for zones A and B), an AppleTV)
    Since I have other recent Macs with a Mini DisplayPort, I happen to also have an Apple branded Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
    So I replaced the (mini-DVI to DVI) adapter by the (Mini DisplayPort to DVI) adapter and plugged it on the Mini DisplayPort on the Mac Mini.
    I can now play the HD version on my Sony TV!!
    This really sounds like a joke!
    A joke that is going to make me go the shop and buy another (Mini DisplayPort to DVI) adapter, since I like to always have one, as well as the VGA adapter, with my MacBooks.
    Let's hope there will sonn be an iTunes, Leopard, or mini-DVI to DVI adapter firmware update very soon to fix this.

    I am actually very surprised that your miniDisplayPort to DVI transition works with HD content.
    I'd consider that a bonus and cherish it until Apple removes that functionality in a future update.
    It is probably a bug as it should not work.
    The thing to keep in mind is that DVI cables do not support the necessary DRM/encryption signals for HD video content.
    This is one of the main reason DisplayPort was introduced.
    So I am not surprised that miniDVI to DVI to HDCP does not play HD content on your TV.
    In fact this is +expected behavior+ due to the lack of DRM/encryption signals.
    No matter how you convert from miniDVI to DVI, the port cannot create something that it doesn't have in the first place.
    The more I am surprised that the miniDisplayPort to DVI to HDCP transition provides these signals. I would have expected them to be filtered out in the DVI cable in the middle as this cable cannot pass something on that DVI is not designed to carry (HD DRM/encryption signals).
    It could very well be a 'bug' in the miniDisplayPort to DVI cable controller, which Apple might 'fix' in a future driver update.
    It is likely a mistake that this works.
    What you really need is a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort to HDCP conversion. Or directly a miniDisplayPort to HDCP cable. Those are the only routes that are guaranteed to work passing HD video DRM/encryption signals along.
    But as far as i know neither of these two cables are available yet.
    Which might be the reason why Apple - for the time being - allows your miniDisplayPort to DVI route to work. Emphasis on +for the time being+.
    I would not count on the fact that this will work forever.
    And I would certainly not count on a software update that will make the DVI route work. This will never work due to DVI's incapacity of providing DRM/encryption signals for HD content.

  • TS3354 "To play this movie in HD, you must have a PC with a built-in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP."

    I recently reinstalled restored my Toshiba laptop with Windows 8 to factory condition.  I reinstalled iTunes, and now when I try to play a movie, I get this error message:  "To play  (name of movie) you must have a PC with built-in display or have it connected to a display that has built in HDCP."  This happens with both my downloaded movies and my iCloud movies.  It never did this before.  Any suggestions?

    I have the exact same problem. I watched both AnchorMan 2 and The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug a week ago on my set up. BenQ monitor ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Video card. No issues. Then I reformat and all of a sudden my purchased movies give me that error. It's so frustrating.
    The odd part is for the Hobbit the itunes extras will start just like before, however I can't select a scene.
    How is there no response to this? Are we missing something obivous? A default setting? Driver?

  • I am getting the error "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP" when attempting to play a HD movie from iTunes to my TV.  The TV is a Samsung UN46B7000WF w/resolution 1080p

    Hello Apple Community,
    I am getting the message "THis movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."  This is the first time I have tried to watch a HD movie that I bought from iTunes from my iMac to my TV.  (This is also the first attempt to go from my iMac to my TV.)  I have a Samsung LED tv that says it is HDCP compatible with Full HD (1080p) and Native resolution is 1920X1080.  I bought a Rocketfish Thunderbolt to/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter (says support is up to 1920X1200 video resolution) and Mediabridge ULTRA Series HDMI Cable (35 Feet) - High-Speed Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return category 2 certified (supports resolution up to 4K including 1440p, 1080p, 1080i and lower).
    I can get the iMac to display on my TV but am guessing that I have not managed the settings correctly in Display for either the iMac or the TV.  In addition, I do not have sound yet.  Although, the card from Mediabridge says that I need to update my drivers.  Any help/advice with the settings for iMac to TV to watch in HD and adding HDMI drivers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.
    Sincerely,
    Lisa

    Hello All,
    I have figured out the sound issue: System Preferences>Sound and choose the TV for output.
