Black screen with audio and subtitles on Apple TV+
I just bought a Mac mini M4 and got Apple TV+ for free, thanks, but it doesn't work. I got a Black screen with audio and subtitles. What's wrong? It works fine on my iPhone.

Are you trying to watch Apple TV+ content on the Mac mini main monitor itself? Or are you perhaps AirPlay streaming or screen mirroring to a TV or monitor that is not physically connected by HDMI/Thunderbolt?
Or are you watching through a separate smart TV app or separate TV-connected streaming device?
If you use adapters for the computer screen, are they HDCP compliant?
Is the monitor HDCP compliant?
Possibly the (content) video signal is blocked due to protection and avoiding capture attempts. Running screen capture software might have this effect.
Looks like it might have been Discord or OBS interfering with the playback. Would be nice to have a message that says what's wrong though!
I think it was OBS or Discord that made it go black. I would have preferred to get an error message.
