OK I got movies to play back using iMac.kext Shiki.kext and lilu.kext. But I still have two issues. One I can't watch streamed movies only downloaded ones. Two Amazon says I don't have HDCP. I have disabled my internal graphics in the bios. Any ideas to any of my questions. Thank you all for the help you gave me and others in the thread.
 
streaming actually works in el capitan - just not sierra.
 
I used the "Go" in the top menu, and the "Go to Folder" - and typed in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts and I didn't get anything. However, I do have clover configurator installed - how do I get this kext installed? Should I just go ahead and put it in /Library/Extensions even there were some messages stating that this could cause an issue as it needs to start at the boot up?

Secondly, as for resetting DRM configuration - do I need to enter all those five codes in order?

Appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks!

To solve the iTunes video "black screen error" (black video screen;time on 0 sec;no progress) for newer CPUs just install this kext.

1. Download and Install Shiki.kext to /Library/Extensions or /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/...
https://github.com/vit9696/Shiki/releases

2. Open Terminal. Set Hardware Video Decoder Preference
I had to set my hardware video decoder preference
Code: 
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA forceNV -boolean yes
to force NVIDIA decoder

(for AMD/ATI decoder)
Code: 
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA forceATI -boolean yes

(for Intel decoder)
Code: 
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA forceIntel -boolean yes

3. Reset DRM configration
and reset my DRM configuration
Code: 
defaults delete com.apple.coremedia
defaults delete com.apple.AppleGVA
sudo rm -rf /Users/Shared/SC\ Info
sudo defaults delete com.apple.coremedia
sudo defaults delete com.apple.AppleGVA

You have to mount the EFI partition before you can access it.
You can do this with Clover Configurator or EFI Mounter.

Thanks! :) I just mounted it and dragged kext to the following file:
EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other

Would that be the correct place to put it in? There were other folders that followed with operating system versions such as 10.11, 10.12, etc.

Thanks - sorry for being such a noob but I wanted to be sure my hackintosh is working like a charm :)

I followed all the steps here but it reported that .coremedia isn't found in the terminal. I tried the itunes to watch the purchased movies and still no luck. Any suggestion on what I should do now?

coremedia error was the same for me, made no difference. Can play downloaded media only, no streaming, HD or SD

Have you checked to see whether the kexts, Lilu.kext & Shiki.kext are loaded after booting the system, I have them currently residing in both EFI/Clover/kexts/10.12 & EFI/Clover/kexts/Other folders
Code: 
kextstat | grep -v com.apple

here's the result on my system currently, truncated addresses
Code: 
Martins-Mac-Pro:~ martin$ kextstat | grep -v com.apple
Index Refs Address            Size       Wired      Name (Version) UUID <Linked Against>
   24    4 0xffffff7...etc 0x11000 org.netkas.driver.FakeSMC (1759) 987B8DEE-6600-3463-BFFA-DF500771FA5B <11 7 5 4 3 1>
   25    1 0xffffff7...etc 0x46000 as.vit9696.Lilu (1.1.6) 289F8924-5235-3D7B-B29E-E5EE605860BC <7 5 4 3 2 1>

   27....etc

also my SIP System Integrity Protection is FYI:
Set in Clover | RTVariables section in CsrActiveConfig
Code: 
0x67
giving result
Code: 
Martins-Mac-Pro:~ martin$ csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: disabled.

as.vit9696.Shiki and as.vit9696.Lilu are both loaded. I can't play iTunes movies, not even after downloading. I have GTX 1080 with 7700k

I ran
Code: 
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA forceNV -boolean yes

and

Code: 
defaults delete com.apple.coremedia
defaults delete com.apple.AppleGVA
sudo rm -rf /Users/Shared/SC\ Info
sudo defaults delete com.apple.coremedia
sudo defaults delete com.apple.AppleGVA

Result:

Code: 
2017-09-15 19:31:16.726 defaults[567:13868]
Domain (com.apple.coremedia) not found.
Defaults have not been changed.

Any ideas? Trailers do play and music too.
