So why is it rejected?
Just because they're still trying to use HDMI to prevent piracy? Who in fuck's name is using HDMI capture for piracy? On a 24fps movie, that's 237MB of data to process every second just for the video. A 2 hour movie would be 1.6TB. Plus the audio would likely be over 2TB.
I've got a Jellyfin server packed with 4K Blu-ray rips that suggest there are easier ways to get at that data.
The CEO's of the media companies are all fucking dinosaurs who still think VCRs should have been made illegal. You will never convince them that built in copy protection is a dumb idea and a waste of time.
Where are they finding dinosaurs to fuck that know what a VCR is?
