This is such an annoying limitation. With monitors it’s one thing, as DisplayPort is normally an option as well (though with an iGPU maybe not), but if you want to display on a high end TV? You need to go find an active DisplayPort -> HDMI converter that supports all the features you need.
From the bug report [0], there was an update 5 months ago that discussions (at AMD) were still ongoing.

- tadfisher 2y agoIt's not really the DRM part, but the fact that someone could avoid paying $15,000 by reading some publicly-available source code instead of joining the HDMI Cabal.
- p_l 2y agoNo, that's the point of DisplayPort in being royalty-free and unencumbered. HDMI was deeply intertwined with the brave new world of Protected Media Path.
