No longer able to airplay drm content from macbook to my own personal apple tv

Did something change recently? I bought an apple tv for airplay so that I wouldn't have to use an HDMI cable. Recently when I try to screen mirror netflix or hbo, I hear audio only but no video. Youtube works however. Seems like a deliberate disabling of this content? Macbook is on 12.6 and apple tv is Apple tv 4k on tvOS 16.1

I guess I'd understand if its for actual airplay airplay, but this is macbook screen mirroring which I thought should literally just mirror your screen with desktop and browser and not worry about what content I'm casting onto my own tv?

yes it's up to content providers if they will allow airplay of their content


netflix blocks it

Netflix confirms it killed AirPlay support, won’t let you beam shows to Apple TVs anymore - The Verge


I'm sure others too as well, guess if your appletv is hd(4g) or 4K models, you will have to settle with using the appletv apps for netflix and others
