Has a partially disabled Intel ME and Influence on HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a copy protection technology that is used to prevent unauthorized copying of digital video and audio content. The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a hardware-based security feature that is built into some Intel processors.
Enabling the Intel ME does not directly affect HDCP support on Linux. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when using HDCP on Linux:
HDCP support on Linux can be limited, depending on the graphics card and driver you are using. Some graphics cards may not support HDCP at all, and some drivers may not have full HDCP support.
To enable HDCP on Linux, you will need to install the necessary software packages and configure your system appropriately. The specific steps required will depend on your Linux distribution and graphics hardware.
In order to use HDCP on Linux, you will also need compatible hardware and software for both the source and destination devices (e.g. the media player and the display).
Overall, enabling the Intel ME should not have a direct impact on HDCP support on Linux. However, HDCP support on Linux can be limited, and you may need to take additional steps to enable HDCP on your system.
