This is my second hackintosh. I have another hackintosh with an i5, which I was able to get iTunes DRM working just fine. But this computer is a challenge! I've been searching the forums and trying every different combination of solutions but nothing is working.

My relevant specs are:
  • Intel i6700k
  • ASUS H170 PRO GAMING LGA1151 DDR4
  • NVidia 980-ti
My clover config is attached.

I have Lilu and Shiki loaded (full kextstat attached):

Code:
23:04 $ kextstat | egrep -i 'lilu|shiki'
   36    4 0xffffff7f83fd4000 0x1f000    0x1f000    as.vit9696.Lilu (1.2.3) 9C714621-4E3B-37F7-9439-49FB5355317B <7 5 4 3 2 1>
   38    0 0xffffff7f84048000 0x7000     0x7000     as.vit9696.Shiki (2.2.6) F280FCE5-E6DC-3DE1-AEBE-6DE56E2D4798 <36 7 5 4 3 2 1>

All of the patches enabled modify something in ioreg:
  • HDAS -> HDEF : needed for audio (which works using native apple drivers)
  • HECI -> IMEI : for intel graphics
  • GFX0 -> IGPU : also for intel graphics
I have downloaded VDADecoderCheckerSierra and it works:

Code:
23:07 $ ./VDADecoderCheckerSierra
GVA info: Successfully connected to the Intel plugin, offline Gen9
Hardware acceleration is fully supported



I have a platform ID (seen in ioreg.txt)

Code:
23:09 $ ioreg -l | grep platform-id
    | |   | |   "AAPL,ig-platform-id" = <00001219>
 ~/Downloads
23:09 $ ioreg | grep IMEI
    | |   +-o IMEI@16  <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x100000250, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 11>

I have run the full reset, several times:

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

I have tried forceNV and forceIntel (not at the same time, running the above reset command between each attempt and rebooting):

Code:
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA forceIntel -boolean yes

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

I've tried shikigva=1, shikigva=0, shikigva=28, shikigva=12 boot args.

The result is always the same. Black screen for DRM downloaded media in iTunes (no audio, no playback, no video). For streaming, oddly enough, I get audio but not video. I've posted the output for iTunes as seen in Console when I try to play a downloaded media file (console.log.txt).

End goal is to get video+audio for DRM media in iTunes. All HD trailers play just fine. Everything else on this hackintosh works perfectly (Netflix under Chrome / Firefox quantum; not under Safari). I'm so stumped on this. THANK YOU for reading!

ive been struggling with my UHD630 i3 8100 on H310 ... everything works almost except DRM ... I guess getting RX 560 or better might solve this but those GPUs are no longer available here and the 560 or 570 is very pricey ....
