What should I do if I can't mirror a movie on TV due to HDCP Content Protection?

I am trying to watch a movie on my tv with hdmi connection to an iPhone and I have prime video on my phone and I received a msg that I can not view the movie because it is HDCP content protection standards. How can I possibly watch the movie?

Hello Aloevera02,


It seems like you are having issues with mirroring your phone to your tv. Make sure that your tv supports screen mirroring and that you have Bluetooth connection enabled as Bluetooth is used for screen mirroring.


You can check if your tv supports screen mirroring by looking at the box that your tv came in and if it does support screen mirroring, you will see a text on the box that says that it supports screen mirroring (it depends on the manufacturer of the tv).


I hope that this helped you with the problem that you are experiencing, cheers.

HDCP Issues:

It’s probably not a 4K screen. This is an issue that began with the macOS 10.13.4 release. The only way I can perform this is by a hardware connection. I troubleshot this with Apple loads of time, and they just couldnt find a fix. See here: About 4K, HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision on your Apple TV 4K - Apple Support
