Commercial titles will have a HDCP requirement. That mean that the display and connection must support HDCP as well. Please specify the make and model display, and how it is connected.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, O1eg!


We understand you're seeing a black screen when trying to play a video on the TV app while using a secondary display. We'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.


Try the steps here to troubleshoot the external display connection:

If with those steps it still won't play correctly, try playing the video while in safe mode: Start up your Mac in safe mode

If it plays correctly in safe mode, try restarting as normal and test again.
