How to fix HDCP issues. 

One of my absolute favorites of all time! The music is just amazing.

I'm also confused... you have a Nintendo Switch, and have problems with connecting it to your TV? Or are you using a HDMI switch to send multiple signals to your TV? Sometimes just disconnecting and reconnecting all the cords can fix your problems.

Vigerp yeah I've come to this video with the same problem I've never had a problem with my switch the 2+ years I've had it, ive never hacked it, it's plugged in directly like normal I'm not using anything else just my switch and I can use it out of no where???

Unfortunately I don't know a lot about iPhones, but it *might* fix your issue. HDCP behaves in mysterious ways. Sometimes you get image but no sound, other times you get sound only, and sometimes you just get a blue or black screen. It could be a HDCP issue, or it could be something wrong with the display. It's hard to tell from just a post. :/

Vigerp Umm..I’ve actually tested the device in another tv and the same exact thing happened there as well

@@RamRevivo Okies, well in that case it seems like the issue is with the AnyCast, but again I'm not an expert on Apple products. :/

Vigerp When I play games it works with sound and everything, even playing videos through VLC player is smooth as heck, it’s just those streaming services, even my tv cable streaming service doesn’t work.. I think I’ll stick to downloading movies.. Huge bummer tho :(

That is an excellent question, Oliver. To be honest, there is almost no lag at all. If I were to film myself and slow the footage down there might be a very slight lag. However, playing the games I have not noticed any lag. Especially not from the older consoles. I might have lag on some of the newer consoles, but that is due to my internet more than anything else. However, a pro-speedrunner might notice some lag, but an average gamer won't be affected at all.

@@Vigerp When I have my setup finished, I was thinking about connecting the Framemeister directly to the TV to give a stronger/more stable HDMI output signal (instead of sending the HDMI out from the Framemeister to one of the HDMI switch boxes). If you were to do that, do you still have the HDCP handshake issues?

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked out for you. ☺️

I made a whole series of how I connected all my consoles up to my television set. It explains the cables used from RC cables all the way up to HDMI.

Ok thanks I will check them out ..

You are absolutely correct. That slipped me by when I was editing the footage.

It sounds like the issue is with the television in question. According to Sony's website "Your TV must support Screen mirroring based on Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™ for the function to work." Have you any other TVs you can test the mirroring function with?

@@Vigerp no I haven't tried it with any LED yet.. But I have to tell u that it is casting only selected things like MUSICS and XPERIA HOME on led.... And not casting the gallery, whatsapp or any other thing.... BTW thanks for replying 💖

@@syedhamza9580 No worries. I hope you find a solution. The website suggests to get a separate wireless display adapter, if the problem persists. Unfortunately I am not an expert on wireless HDCP issues, but using a separate adapter *should* have the same effect as a splitter. You are basically altering the signal being sent to something the receiver (in this case the TV) will accept.

Unfortunately I do not know enough about different types of Capture Cards to be of much help, but buying a splitter is a much cheaper experiment than to buy a new Capture Card.

Handshake is a term used when talking about HDMI cables. Think of it as the actual connection between a console and a TV, where the console is trying to shake hands with the television. The HDMI cable is the outstretched hand, and once you plug it into the TV that's your handshake. But just like in real life, just because you reach out your hand, doesn't mean that the other person will accept your handshake. There could be a number of reasons why you would get a faulty handshake, but most commonly it is because the two systems don't approve of either each other or the HDMI cable itself. The way to work around this is to either try a different HDMI cable (maybe the old one is faulty), or use a HDCP compliant splitter box or switch box. This would take the signal from the Wii and retransmit it to the TV. Because the signal is now coming from a different source, the TV is more likely to accept the new handshake. Think of it as a neutral third party that is mediating between two people who can't stand each other.

+Slayn You're welcome. :)

How are you setting it up? Where are the cables comming from and where are they going? You should have one cable going from the PS3 to the input of the splitter, one cable going from one of the splitter outputs to your TV, and one more going from the second output to your capture card, or PC.

Hey man. Sorry for the late reply, but I have been busy moving into our new home, so I had to take a break from RU-vid. HDCP is a tricky beast, and sometimes cables just refuse to cooperate. There are two things I would suggest. One is to unplug all your cables, wait for a few minutes, then plug it all back together. Sometimes this will fix the faulty "handshake" and make everything work again. Another is to make sure that every part of your setup (cables, switch boxes, TV's and so on) are all HDCP compliant. You can test this by switching out one component at the time with a replacement. Basically try to isolate the problem.

When streaming, if possible, you should have two screens. One for your game, and one for your stream feed. That way you can keep an eye on your stream and comments, to make sure that the feed is not interrupted. As for the importance of buying a HDCP compliant monitor, it depends if you are using one monitor or two and what you play your games on (Console or the PC). If you only use one monitor and a newer console, then it *needs* to be HDCP compliant, as the signal will travel in a direct line from your console to your monitor. If that HDCP handshake isn't validated, then you will not get an image. If you are using multiple monitors or a PC, you will need a splitter. This splitter *needs* to be HDCP compliant, but the monitors does not. This is because the splitter acts as the final destination for the signal, meaning your console accepts the handshake without question and sends the video through.

@@Vigerp Thanks for quick response, but wait, i think i am even more confused now. Why does everybody speak only about consoles? There are tons of videos and articles "how to" ... bla bla bla ... HDCP while streaming on consoles and so on... I didnt find anything that deals with PCs and HDCP. So HDCP with PC streaming isnt realy a problem or what?

Just to clear everything out... I am planning to buy new monitor and i hesitate over ViewSonic XG2530 and Alienware AW2518HF. and i saw in comparsion that ViewSonic has HDCP and Alienware doesnt, and i was like what the hell is HDCP so I watched some videos and found out that, its rly unnecessary thing which basically annoys more than helps, and you can have some issues while streaming and stuff

That is correct, because computers and computer monitors are designed to work together without any issues. That being said, every system is different, but you should not have any issues if you are playing from a PC. It's when you add consoles to the mix that you might encounter problems - as they are expecting a TV to be on the other end.
