Disney+ in the Philippines considers screen mirroring as screen recording?

Disney+ thought my Logitech wireless gaming headphones (they come with a USB dongle to plug in wherever) was a screen recording device. Idiots
Most even block mirroring!!! Super stupid!
Probably. Have you tried with other devices? Screen mirroring is at its base definition, grabs your phone’s screen data and relaying it to the TV ergo, screen recording for TV to use it.
I could have sworn that there were sketchy methods or cables that could spoof an HDCP single in cases such as this.
I may be misremembering that though or it was from a time before the standard was fully developed.
There are HDCP strippers but they are hard to come across, there are also other extractors that just so happen to work as HDCP strippers.
Is this down to a mobile-only subscription issue? Not tried this with Disney+ as I have it on my Firestick anyway but another service I had a mobile subscription for wouldn’t allow me to mirror to another monitor, I assume to force you to pay for the full subscription.
I had no Internet yesterday (still no today), but si have saved some movies in the Disney+ in the iPad, same deal. I could get the audio on the TV, and the movie on the iPad
I’ve mostly stopped watching streaming content because of how inconvenient and inconsistent they’ve made things.
Chucked my tv. Reading books instead.
Occasionally watch a movie on my iPad.
Nearly impossible to make screen cap memes of shows with these new streaming apps.
Right?! Which you’d think they’d want so people are talking about their show/movie. Like alright I guess I’m just going to forget this existed instead of making a meme from it and sharing
Piracy opens their arms.
A sub $20 android box will host all streaming services with zero inconvenience
Yup. DVDs from the library. I love movies and tv but books are the things that really change my perspective
Just go to streaming - it’s so easily accessible now, UIs can be made to look good too with a bit of effort.
Too many content providers, inconvinent access and increasing costs - not worth doing it legit anymore.
My lifetime plex pass is paying dividends
I’d consider doing that if I had a longer attention span. Now, I can’t even read books the way I used to without getting sleepy.
To be fair - it’s part of the reason we watched TV back in the 90’s is that everyone was watching the same shows on network TV.
These days, we’ve all splintered with some exceptions. We used to talk about our favorite part of each week’s episode. Now we tell people we caught a series, and it was good.
DHCP protection
They really need to force a correction into an update, for this. Screen mirroring is NOT screen recording. All we’re trying to do is watch the thing on another screen.
the app can’t tell the difference between your TV and some $15 capture card from amazon that’s recording the entire film connected through the same adapter
I mean they have a valid reason, also wrong sub.
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
This shit all started with Macrovision…
Four words: Jellyfin + Arr software suite.
I just use Chromecast
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
The NFL app is the same, can’t mirror to the tv.
