Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

How can I get past Apples DRM in the TV app? It works, shows the trailers but when I try to play the video it just shows the player in fullscreen and noting happen. Downloading the videos also does not work. Netflix works.
I use the latest 0.6.3 zip from CaseySJ without changes and with AMD plist. I'm using iMac19,1

Is this something I need to do in addition to the instructions on post #1? I do apologise if it is well trod ground but that may indeed be something that I've missed. Could you point in the right general direction?

Hi @leematch
To be clear: I wasn't implying this is something you should already know, I was implying that that it maybe something you've already tried as a remedy. So, just in case:

If you're using the SSDT injection route, you need to determine which USB port the bluetooth module is connected to, and change the USBConnector to '0xFF' (which is hexadecimal for 255). Mine is in port HS02 above.

If you're using USBPorts.kext, edit the info.plist inside the kext by finding the relevant USB2 port and changing 'UsbConnector' to Number, 255

Hopefully that does the trick for you as my genuine apple airport card has been flawless since day 1, first on my Z170 and now on my Z490.

Canyondust, thank you so much buddy, I'll give this a go. I didn't for a second think there was any form of criticism implied in your original post, apologies if my reply read like that. I was just trying to excuse the fact that I'm an absolute noob at this.

All good! And hopefully this is the fix for your issue! (Fingers crossed)

So I think CaseySJ's build uses the SSDT injection route. I've had a look at SSDT-UIAC-Vision-D-V2.aml using MaciASL and alas the HS11 ports (the internal USB header on the vision D) already has the value 0xff for the USBConnector variable. Thanks for the suggestion though.

May be that the machine isn't authorized. When TV app is open look in Account->Authorizations to see if machine is authorized to play DRM content that you've bought.

I'm not 100% familiar with the Vision-D, but is the internal bluetooth on a separate USB port? if so, has that been disabled?

According to the write-up on page 1, yes, it's on HS14 which is disabled in the SSDT.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe DRM support is not available on macOS 11.0 at the moment

Note: Safari 14 and macOS 11, Big Sur are currently unsupported by WhateverGreen's DRM patches. Safari 13 in Catalina and older are supported just fine however.
