    “we are having trouble playing this video right now”

    no they’re not, they’ve simply chosen to not play it

      It’s like those scammers who claim to have an emergency unless you send over money because their heart can’t handle the stress

    I read an article that some multi HDMI plugs strip the HDCP which allows them to not detect this. I’ve not tested it yet but worth looking into

    Disney+ thought my Logitech wireless gaming headphones (they come with a USB dongle to plug in wherever) was a screen recording device. Idiots

    Well I assume that the video output is not HDCP protected? Therefore it assumes you could be recording the hdmi signal or something.

    This is why I use movie-web.app instead of my services sometimes. Just goes straight to the movie. No menu bullshit.

    I ask this risking sounding dumb, but can’t you mirror wirelessly? I just swapped to iPhone so I don’t know, but on samsung i just used “smart view”. Now that I write this it seems to be a monitor but since I wrote all this I might as well finish. Anyway, how can I mirror my screen (can I) without buying one of those apps on app store? The thingy from drop down doesn’t recognise my smart TV

    Pirate this shit, stop supporting such behaviour. Companies have gone from selling you a physical copy of something that you could what you wish with to this type of shit. Do they forget that streaming services is what saved them in the first place?
