I have Mac Mini (Mid 2011) using Vizio TV (that support HDCP) to access VUDU (HDX)
Keep getting error msg that both display and output has to support HDCP
I Verified that my monitor is HDCP compliant because VDU app on my VIzio plays movies in
HDX.
Most OSX mac are said to be HDCP capable.
Please help
Macs are HDCP compliant, I use an LG tv set which is HDCP, and it works with my Macbook Pro correctly. Check that your cable is
Do you have anything between your Mac and LG such as an A?v receiver with HDMI (pass through),
or is LG directly connected (HDMI connection) wit you Macbook Pro?
Just a cable

You asked that already, and I answered.
Thanks for your reply. My issue may be related to HDMI AND HDCP INFO EXCHANGED OVER HDMI BETWEEN Mac Mini, A/V
and my Vizio tv. Apple mini may not be forwarding HDCP INFO ACROSS HDMI.
AGAIN THANKS FOR RESPONDING
Update the firmware in your Vizio TV and the VUDU device to current.
Also, here is a older TechRadar article on the quagmire of HDCP compatibliity then, and now.
Mine works just fine with my Vizio TV.
Are you using hdmi cable?
Do you know what version VUDU requires? HDCP 2.2 is de rigueur at the moment, but that will certainly change.
MMac Mini connected to A/V with HDMI & Vizio connected to A/V with HDMI
A/V IS THE HUB No "direct connection between Vizio & Mac Mini
Firmware is up to date
Then the AVR will also have to support HDCP, even if it's only pass through. Can you test going directly from the Mac mini to the Vizio?
WWill do and post results once completed Thank you all for participating to help solve my problem
HDCP 2.2 was relatively recently introduced and is a requirement for 4K protected media, e.g UltraHD Blu-Rays.
I have not found a definitive statement as to what version of HDCP Macs support but would presume it is still less than HDCP 2.2. It maybe that adding support for a newer version requires a hardware change, for example a newer video chip.
Since Apple themselves do not provide any 4K media via their iTunes Store, do not support H.265 as widely used for 4K media and do not support even Blu-Ray I would not hold ones breath.
Note: This does not change the fact that Macs do support HDCP for use with an external display for normal HD media and this does work for movies from the iTunes Store and Netflix. No idea about Vudu since it is one of those esoteric things only a handful of Americans have, here in the civilised world it does not exist. 😉 (Same applies to the equally esoteric Hulu.)
Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for taking part and sharing your ideas.
My problem is with my Pioneer A/V that's the hub of my setup.
Removing it and connecting Mac Mini directly to Vizio solves HDCP compliant issue.
However, I'll put up with A/V as hub for now and look to upgrade my Pioneer a?v to something new
later this year or next year.
Thanks again to everyone.

Why does Apple NOT provide HDCP support for (non Apple) display monitor that supports HDCP
