SMBios 19.x - iMacs 2019

When you uncheck Intel, its means it will not inject (was os doesn't see IGPU), so it will work only on DGPU.
There's no Hackintosh playing DRM with IGPU + DGPU injected and enabled.
Mine can only play HBO,Netflix,Itunes DRM with only DGPU enabled and IGPU disabled.
You should start a thread and teach us how to properly play DRM with DGPU and IGPU.


Error playing HBOgo with IGPU and DGPU enabled.

I just tested HBO and it didn't work in Safari, but it's working with Firefox.


IGPU enabled and working.


DGPU enabled and working.

Look only DGPU enabled and HBO GO works in Safari. I had to take pics with my phone because Mac OS was protecting the content , blacking out safari content.
Chrome uses a lower resolution (720p) for Netflix and HBO,this way doesn't trigger the DRM, Safari uses 1080p.

DRM content only with Safari and iTunes. Try to disable IGPU from bios and will work.

I know that disabling IGPU in BIOS and using iMacPro1,1 system definition can make iTunes DRM work but you lose the use of IGPU for HEVC.

Same with the use of NoVPAJpeg.kext, you lose hardware encoding.

Both, in my opinion, are less than ideal.

I use chrome for DRM streaming content like Netflix, Hulu, HBO, since it does not always work in Safari. On my real Mac.

On my MacBook Pro I delete the caches from safari develop menu and Netflix,Hbo work. I know that sometimes its not working, don't know why.

Indeed, I also let the IGPU enabled for FCPX encoding/decoding.

So, Intel Quick Sync for SMBIOS 19.X only works with Vega cards or iGPU only?

I tried SMBIOS 19.2 for my rig and Quick Sync does not work any more. I can't see any iGPU usage during video playback and encoding.

It works with iGPU of your intel processor. If you have a vega or other dGPU, then you need to have iGPU enabled in BIOS and properly configured with Clover and/or WhatEverGreen+Lilu.

I feel like this thread might help you with that:
