Static on U2415 When Streaming Certain Videos
I have three U2415 hooked up using daisy-chain DisplayPort. It looks like this:
[Computer] -> DisplayPort cable->
[Monitor 1, DP1.2 enabled] -> Mini-DP cable -->
[Monitor 2, DP1.2 enabled] -> Mini-DP cable -->
[Monitor 3, DP1.2 disabled]
Center monitor is designated as the primary monitor.
Everything works fine, but whenever I try to stream certain movies from either Netflix or Amazon Instant Video, one or more of the monitors will show nothing but static. The moment I stop the movie from playing, the screen returns to normal. If I play again, it shows the static again.
It is typically the monitor that is showing the movie (so if the movie plays on Monitor 1, then Monitor 1 will show static), but I've had it show static on Monitor 1 while the movie shows up on Monitor 3 before.
This seems like maybe some kind of digital copy protection, but I'm streaming these movies from legitimate sources like Netflix and Amazon, so I don't know why there would be problems.
Any ideas?

Turn all off. Disconnect the Secondary and Tertiary monitors from the computer and the Primary monitor. Turn the computer and the Primary monitor on. Retest. Then replace the Primary with one of the other monitors. Retest. Do the same for the third monitor.
