HDCP compliance errors on Macbooks. It does not matter what is plugged in to the Macbook. I tried plugging in via HDMI through a USB Hub and directly connected via USB-C. I am only connected to one display at a time, and all of the display settings are default. Seems to be a reoccurring issue, but at randoms times. Any video playback is giving an HDCP error, so I reboot my device which fixes the issue. Is there a long term solution for this or will I just always have to reboot my Macbook when the HDCP error happens?
