Disney+ thought my Logitech wireless gaming headphones (they come with a USB dongle to plug in wherever) was a screen recording device. Idiots

I ask this risking sounding dumb, but can’t you mirror wirelessly? I just swapped to iPhone so I don’t know, but on samsung i just used “smart view”. Now that I write this it seems to be a monitor but since I wrote all this I might as well finish. Anyway, how can I mirror my screen (can I) without buying one of those apps on app store? The thingy from drop down doesn’t recognise my smart TV

Four words: Jellyfin + Arr software suite.

I read an article that some multi HDMI plugs strip the HDCP which allows them to not detect this. I’ve not tested it yet but worth looking into

I mean they have a valid reason, also wrong sub.

The joys of DRM. Try a different cable/dongle, if that doesn’t work try a different monitor.

Smart tv’s have twitch and I’m quite happy about that

This shit all started with Macrovision…

Apple basically caused this to happen. Use a third party app.

Pirate this shit, stop supporting such behaviour. Companies have gone from selling you a physical copy of something that you could what you wish with to this type of shit. Do they forget that streaming services is what saved them in the first place?

I just use Chromecast

Well I assume that the video output is not HDCP protected? Therefore it assumes you could be recording the hdmi signal or something.

This is why I use movie-web.app instead of my services sometimes. Just goes straight to the movie. No menu bullshit.

Yo ho yo?

The NFL app is the same, can’t mirror to the tv.
