So, I've finally had a chance to update to 'Big Sur' from 'Catalina' (I like to keep at least one major macOS version behind on my Hackintoshes; we're now just entering the Monterey epoch).

The one thing I noticed, even back in Catalina, was that under Safari 14, DRM was no longer working for net streaming services but was working for Apple TV.

So far, I've only managed also to get Apple TV to work using the com.apple.AppleGVA edits from Dortania:

defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDAVCDecode -boolean yes

It would seem the Hackintosh Hive-mind is now suggesting that the issue is common for those using iMac19,1 w/ iGPU (headless) SMBIOS. Many have had success with the SMBIOS for iMacPro1,1 since it uses only dGPU acceleration w/o iGPU.

Has anyone tried this yet? I'm time poor, but I'll let the repo followers know when I get around to it.

Well, I am not sure about this fix, but I thank @czombos and you @kwuster learn a lot and use this: https://github.com/sowson/haniapc have fun! ;-). Does DRM works mean NetFlix in Safari 15, right?

I tested iMacPro1.1 SMBIOS works perfectly, you need to disable iGPU in the bios.
