How is it able to play "TV Shows" with "/Applications/Video.app"? they are all DRM 3. Are you able to play this video with safari? https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm 1. My GPU has never needed WEG because I use my AGPMInjector to inject the correct GPUPM settings. 2. As stated previously it all relies on the SMBIOS + GPU combination. 3.

See picture below I just tried to disable Weg and add AGPMInjector.kext, i got blackscreen after some purple lines, my hardware is in my signature, i guess this SMBIOS iMac19,2 i'm using has AGDP policy, that's the reason of black screen, do you have iGPU enabled? what else did you do, renaming? disable AGDP? anything special patches?

Well none of my hacks have iGPU, Xeon and AMD CPU. No renames, AGDP loads fine and no special patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, tried disabling iGPU, using iMacPro1,1 instead, i'm also able to play Apple Tv on macOS now. it is a SMBIOS thing. as for the black screen, i think it depends on GPU, my RX 470 got black, fixed it with rename board-id to board-ix. looks like Vega and Radeon VII rocks.

The "purple lines" appear to be due to VRAM test that is writing into the framebuffer space causing that to happen and at times a panic. I suspect you likely had version 1.3.1 or later of WEG and therefore hadn't been seeing it. https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/commit/bcd3f2ef73266f4a320ccfd0686bef2a969b2bde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read what you said, I just didn't fully explain apparently ... you get the purple lines with and without having WEG installed. If you have WEG 1.3.1 or higher then you don't see those lines because that commit prevents the VRAM test from happening. The VRAM test in the native drivers is the problem and WEG 1.3.1+ 'fixes' it by bypassing the test. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know a fix for this? Thanks. I'm having the exact same issue... with my Haswell laptop... I've an external display connected to it via HDMI so I set brightness in the laptop to a minimum.. but sometimes it turns up at full brightnesst after a reboot... also waking it up from sleep resets the brightness level to the max. I'm running the latest closer available with latest whatevergreen and lilu. I'm not using AppleBacklitFixup.kext but the PNLF patch provided in whatevergreen as an SSDT patch in clover/apci/patched. Also native nvram is working properly... I've tested via clover scripts which is also working but it didn't make any difference. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers, D.

macandrea Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I have an X299, no IGPU, full support for H264 and HEVC from VideoProc, using Whatevergreen with an RX580, iMacpro1,1. If I follow the link https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm my hack hangs, I can only move the mouse pointer but everything else is freezed - I have to reboot. Is that normal with MacOS using the RX580 + drm content or can this be due to misconfiguration? @Pavo: have you tried using Sidecar with your XEON config? It works with my X299 using iMac19,1 but the image has a very poor quality and flickers up to a point it is unusable. Do I really need IGPU and/or T2 chip to make it work properly?

Remington Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Have you tried the latest WhateverGreen 1.3.5, needs to be compiled as its not officially released yet. I see there is FairPlay DRM Playback patch in it and does it work with Apple TV+ with smbios other than iMacPro1,1? I'm not near my hackintosh to confirm this.
