I just bought an external USB Blu-ray drive and a copy of PowerDVD 13.

When I try to play a Blu-ray disc (no external displays attached) on the internal 3K display,

the attempt fails with the following message:

"CyberLink PowerDVD is unable to play this media because the required HDCP could not be initiated. [...]"

So I downloaded the "CyberLink Blu-ray Disc & 3D Advisor" which checks the system for Blu-ray compatibility.

According to this tool, the internal display is not HDCP compliant:

"HDCP-compliant Display: No"

All other test passed.

So, is it really true that this display is not HDCP compliant and, thus, not capable of playing Blu-ray movies?

In case I do not get an answer in this forum,

which other options do I have to contact lenovo support?

See if this will work: http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvdhd.html

It is for use with non HDCP compliant graphics cards and displays.

Thank you, Wendel!

However, besides being rather expensive, I'm not sure AnyDVD is legal in Germany.

I'd really like to get a reply by Lenovo support on that matter:

Is it really impossible to watch Blu-ray movies on the internal display,

without circumventing the DRM chain (which is illegal in many countries)?

Hello,

I have a similar Issue on ThinkPad Yoga 20CD. @ __entropy Can you give me a link to the display driver you used? I don*t know, if my model supports HDCP at all, but I would like to try this driver. I need it for Android Mirroring...

Kind regards, yowapad.

Problem solved by manually installing the display-"driver" (actually just an *.inf).
