Sony Z1 Compact Screenmirroring / HDCP problem

markokotkas — Sun, 24 May 2015 11:29:01 GMT

I can use screenmirroring with my Samsung phone and tablet, older than my Sony phone. But when I start screenmirroring with my Z1 compact, then connection dialog opens both on TV and Z1, but terminates automatically with message, that TV does not support HDCP. As i understand, HDCP is a protection, wich allows to run DRM-encrypted media. And my TV should be able (and surely is able) to stream it.

I installed an Lollipop update to Z1 yesterday and hoped that now is this problem also solved but no...

How can I use screenmirroring with my Z1 Compact?

Your phone HDCP version is 2.2, and seems like your TV and Samsung phones are using an older version. This leaves you with 3 options:

- Use a fully compliant HDCP 2.2 mirroring device, I suggest Chromcast dongle so you don't have to trade your TV.

- Use a custom ROM that allows disabling HDCP check, I reckon Cyanogen Mod does allow this in Developers Settings.

- Change your TV to a fully compliant HDCP 2.2 one.
