The situation is still ridiculous though. Streaming is no longer easier than piracy.
- 9991 3y agoWeird. Jellyfin doesn’t make me do that.
- jackson1442 3y agoIt’s a Widevine DRM thing, not a browser video thing.
- ncallaway 3y agoI think that was the point of the previous comment. The UX of DRM-laden services breaks. You don’t have that problem with Jellyfin.
- ladzoppelin 3y agoNo its a DRM issue, its why I run a hidden 25 foot HDMI from my computer to my TV as some broadcasts require the security inside the HDMI cable itself. (I could be wrong on this one but Widevine DRM handles this process I think)
- js2 3y agoThere is no security inside the HDMI cable itself. It's an HDCP negotiation between the source and the sink which occurs over an i2c serial bus along the pair of DDC pins. You may be able to get away with just an HDMI dummy plug: https://www.amazon.com/4K-HDMI-Dummy-Plug-3840x2160/dp/B07FB8GJ1Z https://www.amazon.com/4K-HDMI-Dummy-Plug-3840x2160/dp/B07FB... I'm not sure if these dummy plugs handle HDCP. If not you can use one in combination with this splitter: https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-l-b-y-Vision-Atmos-Scaler/dp/B07VP37KMB https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-l-b-y-Vision-Atmos-Scaler/dp... I own this splitter and know for a fact that it handles the HDCP negotiation. But I think it needs a display attached.

- walteweiss 3y agoWhat is an HDMI dummy plug? I read the description, but didn’t get it. What does it do?
- js2 3y agoIt makes the source think there is a display connected by responding with an EDID block. It may also handle the HDCP negotiation but I'm not sure about that. Technically an unlicensed device isn't supposed to be able to implement HDCP so while the Chinese manufacturers are totally willing to skirt around that, they also don't go advertising it.
- walteweiss 3y agoBut why would one need it? I don’t get get idea behind it, what’s with me having a fake extra display? Is it somehow tricks the DRM or what?
- js2 3y agoThe primary use case I'm aware is for headless computing. Re-reading what ladzoppelin wrote, I made an assumption that was probably incorrect. I thought they were saying that having an HDCP-compliant TV attached allowed them to watch DRM-protected content on their non-HDCP-compliant primary display. But in retrospect, probably they are watching the DRM content on the TV. In that case they don't need an HDMI dummy plug at all. They could instead use the splitter I linked between their computer and the non-HDCP compliant display (assuming it's connected over HDMI and not DisplayPort) to fool their computer into thinking the display is HDCP-compliant. Then they can play the DRM content on either their primary display or the TV.
- cchance 3y agoNope this is DRM "protection"
