Known problem with DRM content, see this thread (and many others) for details :

i had this issue back in Mountain Lion on my main hack Z77-DS3H Core i7 3770 and how i got around this was downgrade iTunes so maybe heres what u could do either build a cheap Ivy hack and put Mountain Lion on it and don't update iTunes only problem you won't have is Apple Music but movies and trailers will work tho

hey guys I've just tried Apple Music Videos in iTunes and seems to be working fine for me? this is a Ivy Bridge hack

It seems a difficult problem to solve... Hopefully soon have a solution.

Thanks again

you got my hopes up for a minute there bamford

i played an iTunes music video and no problems so went into iTunes Movies and played a trailer but all i got was a green screen and an audio track

i'll have to stick with Google Play and Wuaki TV then.

Not sure if anybody cares but, I got tired of trying to get the 2600k SB/Z68/HD3000 to play iTunes 1080p DRM, so I went out to the local Beast Buy and got a 1GB "Galaxy" Nvidia GT 610. Changed to the MacPro5,1 definition (after deleting the MyTCE kext) Voila---1080p iTunes works perfectly in 10.9.1. And Toleda's HDMI edits worked perfectly for HDMI audio on this board (not that they didn't on the HD3000 as well). I would've liked to keep the HD3000 and the $20 or so I spent (had a gift card leftover from Christmas), because using the integrated graphics uses the least amount of power, but the GT610 is a nice alternative, and it barely uses any extra power over the HD3000 apparently (from my UPS watt meter).

Not sure what my issue is. I even did a clean reinstall of Mavericks with Unibeast and the like, and still no luck; iTunes videos would still either give me the pink artifact screen (using a MacbookPro8,1 definition, where the hardware renderer was working perfectly) or would play perfectly for 10 seconds then go black and stop (using a system def where the hardware assist did not load, such as MacPro3,1).

But whatever---just for any of those who got fed up like me---go get a cheap nvidia card if you can afford to. Problem solved in an instant.

There is no known solution yet for playing protected content on Ivy/Haswell system yet. Even doing a rollback to older versions of iTunes don't work for most people myself included.
This has been an issue since 11.0.1 so not sure how you had it working a few weeks ago.

I think I've made some progress here.

My hack (with an intel xeon 1246v3 3.5ghz cpu) has an integrated intel hd p4600 and a discrete nvidia gt 730, both connected to the same monitor, with the p4600 using a displayport cable and the nvidia a dvi cable.

The situation is as the follows.

1. Boot with the GT 730 (with nvidia web driver), with the hd p4600 disabled. I can't play any purchased videos in iTunes. Nothing happens when I click to play a HD movie. Also, if I play a mp4 movie with Quickime, it's OK, but I noticed that a process called 'VTdecoderXPCService' will appear and runs happily up to 30% CPU time.

2. Boot with the integrated HD P4600 (using FakePCIID kexts), with the nvidia card enabled (don't write nv_disable=1 in your boot args). I can play purchased HD videos in iTunes, but only with audio, video still does not work. If I play a mp4 movie now, I found out that this 'VTdecoderXPCService' is gone, and my CPU is generally idle. It seems hardware accelerated video playback is working?
