Movies not playing on my laptop I rented a few movies on the TV app to watch on my laptop, and when I try to play one I get the error message "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)" I've played tons of rented movies on the TV app before, probably over a hundred, but now this one isn't working. I tried deleting from the library and redownloading, I tried restarting my computer, nothing works. And now the rental period is about to go out and my money is wasted. Also when I look this problem up, no one seems to have a working solution. Can anyone help?

Unable to view Top Gun Maverick movie on TV via iMac Pro Air Play Unable to view iTunes downloaded Top Gun Maverick (TGM) movie from iMac Pro via Apple’s Display Air Play/Airport Express - Air Play on a new Sony TV’s Air Play due to HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) Error while using new HDMI cables. All devices/cables are HDCP compliant. All devices are on the same Secure Network. Did a second movie file download to check for movie file corruption. Can view TGM movie Extras – 2 Songs and 7 Featured Bonus short movie clips on TV but get HDCP error when trying to view 2 Hour 10 Min full length movie on TV. Screen Sharing was Off, image was set to full screen, selected Mirror Displays Optimized for Sony KD-55X80K. Does anyone else have this HDCP Error showing in a similar configuration ??? I have contacted Apple and Sony Tech Support but they have not come up with a solution, nor have I found a solution on the Apple Forums or Google Search.

I figured out what my issue was. System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Disable "Chromium" remote desktop access.

This happened to me after I upgraded to the new Catalina. I logged into iCloud and reauthorized my MacBook.
