For High Sierra you need to download the latest shiki and lilu. He has an update a few days ago. I am able to download movies and show and watch them. Still no streaming.

i have checked github, their last update was before High Sierra released
 
Just getting file location errors when I type the commands in High Sierra:

"Domain (com.apple.coremedia) not found.
Defaults have not been changed."

That's normal - just follow the guide exactly for your graphics.

As well Lilu and Shiki kexts in 'Other Folder' did you also put NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext then repair permissions and reboot for the kexts to be loaded? Also run VDADecoderCheckerSierra if you're successful it should return no errors.

Yes, both Lilu and NvidiaGraphicsFixup are in the 'Other' folder -- it's the only way my Nvidia card runs without a black screen.

VDADecoder says
"
VDADecoderCreate failed. err: -12473

An error was returned by the decoder layer. This may happen for example because of bitstream/data errors during a decode operation. This error may also be returned from VDADecoderCreate when hardware decoder resources are available on the system but currently in use by another process.

VDADecoderCreate failed. err: -12473"

I'm on 10.13 High Sierra.

Ok that's the same return error I got as well, so I went into the BIOS and enabled the Intel Integrated Graphics and rebooted then I re-ran the steps to enable viewing iTunes movies and eliminate iTunes crashing. Now there is a slight chance that this will cause a kernel panic on your rig, if it doesn't, re-run VDADecoderCreate and your Graphic card should show as connected without the VDADecoderCreate failed. err: -12473. The steps I described I took in my earlier post absolutely solved my iTunes woes, I have to say my rig is performing like a real Mac in every way. iMsg/F-Time, Sleep/Wake works perfectly. As I said the method works for my Nvidia card.

I'm also on 10.13 High Sierra.

So it’s dependent on the internal graphics?


Tried turning my on but causes a boot loop
