CyberLink PowerDVD displays 0012 and 0103 errors when playing HDCP movies

 

If your laptop is using an AMD graphics driver, then playing High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) movies may generate an error such as 0012 (See Figure.1) or 0103. (See Figure.2) These can be seen when you are watching the movie on an external monitor, through a docking station using DisplayPort (DP).

Cause

Note: What is HDCP playback?

HDCP is a form of digital copy protection. The purpose of HDCP is to protect digitally copyrighted content as it travels from a device to your screen.
 

This is the expected behavior. AMD graphics drivers do NOT support HDCP output by DP. As a result, the computer follows the Microsoft Output Protection Manager architecture.

Resolution

You should use a different video output on your Dell docking station to avoid this. You can use either the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port or the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C port depending on what is on the back of your dock. (See Figure.3)
