After it was revealed last week that the gold member TV screen projection was limited to 480P definition, this week users found that it even limited HDMI cable to TV playback.
Some netizens reported that when they used the iPad HDMI cable to connect to the TV, the interface could be displayed normally, but clicking play was pop-up "Due to copyright reasons, this content does not support HDMI connection playback."
In this regard, some media contacted the official customer service of iQiyi, but the answer was unsatisfactory.
The customer service said: "Now everyone is more strict about copyright protection, and some films will have their own video format, so connecting with high-definition cables may not be supported, and the front-end display shall prevail." ”
At the same time, customer service suggests that if you really have screen casting needs, you can choose to upgrade to the gold membership, or watch it directly on the Kiwifruit App on the TV side.
It is worth mentioning that at present, iQiyi officials have also responded to this, saying that the restriction of HDMI connection playback is at the request of the copyright owner, based on the restriction of digital copyright protection agreement, in order to prevent screen recording piracy restrictions, and has nothing to do with members.
