Fix for AppleTV+

[turbo]

The SMBIOS model in this package prevents streaming (and downloads) from AppleTV+. To fix this, change it to iMacPro1,1.

[stevezhengshiqi]

Since we are laptops, using desktop SMBIOS will definitely break PM and some other delicate stuff. Changing SMBIOS is not recommended here.

As for better solution, I recommend reading https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.Shiki.en.md.

shikigva=160 shiki-id=Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 without OpenCore.

Also, VDADecoderChecker could be handy to check the hardware acceleration.

This is what I would like to try. What means without OpenCore?

[stevezhengshiqi]

It means if users are using Clover or any other bootloader other than OpenCore

[eapuzzo]

How can I solve this problem using opencore ?

[kecinzer]

I think this can't be fixed with Intel GPU.

[eapuzzo]

Is there anything I can do having an iphone ?

[stevezhengshiqi]

I am also curious. @turbo Do you really have a XiaoMi NoteBook Pro that only contains iGPU working on macOS?

[eapuzzo]

I tried to do as @turbo suggested but it didn't work, on the contrary it didn't start the pc and showed a prohibition icon, not the usual apple. I solved as I've learned how to do, inserted a usb with the efi folder inside and started first by efi partition of the usb and then by the ssd with macos installed.

I also tried to add shikigva=1 argument to boot-args in config.plist but it didn't work (I don't know if this is the right way)

Oof this was a while ago, I've since switched to OpenCore (still looking for a fix for OC, too!).

I have a first-gen Mi Notebook Pro (i7, MX150 - disabled in macOS of course). Running Big Sur on OC now.

Ah well then the first one that solves it makes it available for everyone ahahaha

As far as I know, Appe TV+ won’t work on Big Sur since Lilu’s userspace patch is not working on Big Sur, which Shiki depends on that.

I'm still on Catalina and it doesn't work for me, I'm also available to test solutions.

@stevezhengshiqi I didn't even try to get it to work on Big Sur. I think when I opened this issue I was on Mojave or Catalina (both Clover) - can't remember exactly.

Have you tried adding shikigva=160 shiki-id=Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 in boot-args?

Now I'll try, I'll let you know in a few minutes

[eapuzzo]

@stevezhengshiqi @turbo It works as you can see from the screenshot but the mouse and the whole UI freezes without seeing the video but the audio works fine. You are forced to open a random app and then close it and apple tv with keyboard commands.

My boot-args: darkwake=0 gfxrst=1 igfxrpsc=1 shikigva=160 shiki-id=Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94

The SMBIOS model in this package prevents streaming (and downloads) from AppleTV+. To fix this, change it to iMacPro1,1.

The solution of changing model to iMacPro1,1 is not working neither on Clover nor OpenCore on my device. It can only enable Apple TV+ to play for about few seconds and stop. I would say currently there's no solution for iGPU-only hacks to play Apple TV+ according to https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.Chart.md. Only Trailers are allowed to play but not Movies.

[eapuzzo]

Is it possible to download movies and series and then watch them offline ?

@stevezhengshiqi is there any solutions available for 2018 Mi notebook pro to play apple tc videos? Any help will be greatly appriciated

AFAIK, it’s not possible for iGPU-only devices to play Apple TV+.

[kampav]

Thanks @stevezhengshiqi

It's so frustrating. This thing is annoying me. I need to play ATV+ in Vivaldi browser same as Netflix, HBO GO and etc. As I use Safari as my browser I really want to fix this 😞.
