Radeon RX 4XX/5XX standalone system, AMDRadeonX4250.kext (GVA support H264) does not support HEVC HW

I have entered these two args in the config file and added dummy file to Other folder. I disabled IGPU in BIOS. Is there anything else I need to do?

Also, Netflix is no longer working. Does it work for anyone else with the latest Mojave build?

I use SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 + dummy141.kext, no whatevergreen, downloaded DRM / FairPlay video clips playback work correctly, iTunes OK, Netflix steaming not tested (I do not use Netflix).

iTunes OK

Did you test streaming with a purchased movie in iTunes?

No.

I have Netflix working with SMBIOS iMAC14.1, IGPU enabled in Bios, Dummy.kext installed and configured the IGPU with a headless Framebuffer in Clover.

SMBIOS iMac14,1 does not have forceOfflineRenderer=Yes in AppleGVA info.plist, IQSV will not work when DGPU is installed, GVA is handled by DGPU not IGPU.

Edit: iMac14,1 GVA properties

Edit: sorry, previously attached wrong png (MacBookPro14,1), correct iMac14,1 GVA properties

With iMacPro1,1 profile, I am assuming you have iGPU disabled, correct? Did you rename your discreet graphics card in config?

Yes

On my test drive, I switched the profile to iMacPro1,1. I removed WhateverGreen and placed dummy file in Other. When I restart the computer, it loses video signal at the login screen. How did you overcome this without WhateverGreen?

SMBIOS MacPro6,1 does not support hwe420, share as H264 will not work, add WEG boot flags to tell OS use iMacPro1,1 GVA properties

shikigva=32

Thanks. Works fine Final Cut Pro with h264

This was the only solution to stream DRM movies in iTunes and play Netflix content in Safari.

Not sure about this, without correct frame ware IQSV does not have HW DRM / FairPlay 2.0 support.
In theory, stream DRM movies in iTunes and play Netflix content in Safari should not work. RX4XX/5XX/Vega are native support HW DRM and FairPlay 2.0, stream DRM movies in iTunes and play Netflix content in Safari should work without whatevergreen.

Do you have a suggestion to correctly configure my system. I have an I5 4570 with Intel HD4600 GPU and a RX580.
