Black screen when changing volume with fullscreen content

Open megaspel opened this issue 3 years ago • 8 comments

Chrome and Internet Explorer edge both suffer this bug when viewing fullscreen content, the screen will go black for a couple seconds every time the volume is nudged, trigging the flyouts menu.

This could be a HDCP issue, since it occurs with Netflix and Disney+

Using a 4K HDR screen with HDCP 2.2 on Windows 10.

Yeah, this seems to be related to HDCP, since it does not happen with, say, Github.

Does not seem like an issue then :)

How is it not an issue if modernflyouts breaks HDCP content?

Try opening XBox game bar (and/or start recording). Does it produce the same black window?

@ShankarBUS what are your views on this?

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, it's basically what Netflix/Disney + and the like use to try to stop people from copying their content. It doesn't seem to stop anyone, but it's an added complication that we all have to deal with unfortunately.

Your monitor and your motherboard has HDCP components, and you need a HDCP compatible cable in order to view netflix or other online TV services, it's gotten to the point where it's common enough that you mostly don't notice it. Nearly all modern TVs, monitors, motherboards and cables, have the right components. Windows default flyout, does not trigger this bug, so it's definitely possible to stay compatible with HDCP.

Turns out this is any video, and I think maybe Chrome specific. If I go fullscreen with firefox with any video, this bug doesnt apply, but with chrome any fullscreen video will turn black when the volume is changed.

i have the same issue with all the games i play in fullscreen. i like to have the flyout on the same screen as my game, but it flashes black for a split second twice. it turns black once the flyout pops out and black again once it goes away. i do not think it is HDCP related
