the connected display is not authorized to play protected movies

Deleted.

It's their fault just as much as the movie company for selling a 40 dollar adapter that they don't tell you that you can't use unless you have a hdcp capable tv or monitor.

Uncopyrighted and DRM-free HD movies play just fine, and beautifully I may add.

I agree, amazing.

I feel for all you guys that bulit your entertainment sustems around this. You are the guys doing it the honest legal way.

Yes in theory that should, Simon.

Glad to help

Thanks a million. Luckly I travel with a big suitcase, and all theses Apple components are light. :-)

Bit of an attitude there! The guys only aft some advise.

Totally with you on this point. They should let people know upfront at point of purchase (I.e. iTunes) which content can and cannot be viewed without AppleTV....

Thanks Joe1504 that was great help!

This doesn't work for me 😟 when I try and play the movie in this way the sound keeps running, but the screen goes black.

Absolutely absurd. We bought Season 2 of Downton Abbey and the entire family has to cram around an iPad screen instead of being able to watch it on our TV using the APPLE BRAND HDMI ADAPTER!

And yet if you get the movies via your laptop you can play them on the TV so go figure why one is OK and one is not!

Hi guys I have a Samsung smart tv and I was getting the same error, but if I start to play the video first and then plug it in with the hdmi cable adaptor it works fine.....

It seems that Apple has made it impossible to play a "protected" movie from an iPad onto a TV. Goodbye Apple, when I buy my next pad it won't be one of yours.
