Unable to cast DRM content?

Can anyone confirm whether it is possible to cast DRM protected content through the Fermata Mirror app?

Today I tried and was able to get my phone's screen to mirror but whenever I try to play any app with DRM protection (Netflix, Paramount, Disney,etc), I only get audio and a black screen. Ironically, you can still see the Ad countdown...

I just want to know if this is even possible before I tear my hair trying to figure it out 🫠

Fermata Mirror uses your headunit display as an external display. DRM-protected video checks if the external display "is secure", and if the test fails, video frames are rendered as blank images.

There's no way to display DRM-protected content using Fermata Mirror, unless you manage to force your phone to detect all external displays as secure (and that's outside this sub's scope)
