HDCP standard issue

Hi, I have a problem on my iPad. It's says that device doesn't meet HDCP staandards but this only happens in Amazon Prime video. I have Disney+ and nelflix and it doesn't have a problem with that.

iPad mini, iOS 12

HDCP (High Definition Copy Protection) is just one of many DRM (Digital Rights Management) technologies designed to protect copyrighted video media from unauthorised copying.

Every component in the HDMI chain (source - such as iPad, AV processor/audio amplifier and display/monitor/projector) must be authenticated as supporting HDCP before content will play on the external display device. If any devices in the chain do not support HDCP, or their encryption keys have been invalidated, you’ll not have any video.

Not all streaming platforms enforce HDCP for all content, but many do. Some streaming Apps will not allow connection to any external video display.
