Good day
My hardware device scenario: MacBook Pro, AppleTv3 (connected to receiver direct), HDMI from receiver to Visio monitor.
My activity scenario: Purchase video from Amazon to stream (extend desktop) to AppleTv via Airplay all using same router connection.
Result: I can play the video on the Mac (non-stream), but when switching to Airplay, I receive HDCP Error 7279.
Looking for an Airplay solution

But that option does not actually solve the error itself.
Then the error is not with AirPlay or the Amazon service, but with the hardware. Most likely a glitch with the HDMI signal.
Thank you for your responses.
I was aware loading and using Amazon Prime app directly would be another option to avoid the error problem. But that option does not actually solve the error itself.
I am looking for an option to eliminate the error.
Regards
it's not an error
airplay strip DRM / hdcp encryption from the media making it captureble and enable people to record and copy and distribute it, this mean that media such as amazon prime and also dvd's and bluerays and the likes is blocked from being airplayed by request of the content providers.
Thanks for a quick and helpful response. I was aware of the copyright scenario through my direct discussion with Amazon personnel.
This problem initiated after I purchased a series from Amazon and could not stream it via Airplay OR use the Amazon app to view the purchase. Amazon agrees they have a technical issue that they must solve.
The point is if I could play the purchase with either option I could also record it. I have no plans to record, but wanted to check if anyone solved the AirPlay issue.

If you got an up-to-date Apple TV (3rd generation), software 7.2.2 or later, then you can load the Amazon Prime app and then play directly from the app, problem would then be solved.
Looks like Amazon is not allowing AirPlay to work, if you got a up-to-date Apple TV HD or 4K then you can load the Amazon Prime app and then play directly from the app, problem would then be solved.
