This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).

I'm getting an error trying to play purchased movies on the TV app on my 2016 MacBook Pro (15-inch).


The error message states,

"The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."


Device: MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)

Processor: 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

16 GB RAM

Built-in Retina Display (2880x1800)


OS: MacOS Big Sur 11.2.1 (most recent)


I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Boot in safe mode
  • Restart device
  • Re-authorize device in the TV app


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
