Thanks for this !
I can confirm it working with my build z170-ar & 6700k & Nvidia 980ti on 10.11.6
Thank you very much

After some testing I come to this conclusion. While trailers do work, they seem to be in SD instead of HD.

For Maxwell cards you need to inject/change some values for IOVARendererID/IOVARendererSubID
What he did, was compile a kext as the FAQ said with the values to replace and it worked

Yep you are right!! But FYI these files are not mine. I found them in a different forum. Can't take the credit for it.

SOme are in SD, but check to see if you have your Playback set to HD in Perferences/Playback/Preferred Video Version

Huh? No you didn't. They're not in a different forum, they're the exact method posted by the OP at the start of this whole thread!

You maybe right. I have been looking around and playing with different files. Just supplying what worked for me. Again, not my files.

Looks like SD, right. But the quality on my real rMBP is the same.

Btw:
What is the magic behind this KEXT? What exactly is done here to make it work?

Just a quick P.S to my earlier post ...

Thank you very much to @cabal2000 for compiling the iMac.kext/plist and saving me the trouble of building my own. I was at the point of giving up on this quest to get DRM video running in iTunes (not an issue it seems to me whether it is SD or HD. My purchased SD videos still have DRM and wouldn't play.)

It's worth mentioning I don't have the Nvidia model mentioned, I have a GTX 750i.

DRM iTunes video playback IS WORKING NOW! First time in a long while (probably since a hardware upgrade in the dim and distant)

I placed shiki.kext (the one I still don't fully understand! ) and the iMac.kext both in CLOVER/kexts/10.11/

I had already run the Terminal scripts once previously and was not happy to repeat. As it happened I didn't need to either. Just a reboot.

Thanks again

Your welcome but I didn't compile the iMac file. I just grabbed it from a post in this forum. It worked so I zipped them both together to share.
