Hi folks. I'm having a strange issue with the Apple TV app on Catalina.
I'm currently using a h61 motherboard with a Intel Xeon E3 1280 v2 and a Gigabyte Radeon RX 570, and two DDR3 1666mhz 8gbs sticks of ram. I'm using SMBIOS 7,1 so I don't need to inject anything for the GPU, just rename it to GFX0. I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15.2 and I can't get the shows to playback.
When I try to play anything from the App, only the first 5 seconds of the Apple TV+ logo on the show correctly shows up, next, a horrendous green or red screen appears but the audio still comes through. I can't take screenshots because it appears black on the screenshot, but I've captured some pictures:
Strangely enough, I can reproduce DRM'd content on my hack, as you can see in those screenshots below:
This is a DRM'd clip on my SSD, I can play it back fine:

Does someone have a clue about what's causing this issue? I have VDA Decoder fully supported, sidecar runs without issues and every other thing runs smoothly.
Fun fact: Without the dummykext152 to get Catalina 10.15.2 HVEC decoding, my Apple TV turns red, and with the kext it turns green.
