eSaF Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) BS disk is now showing in Startup Disk so that is one bug that was fixed. I am still looking to see the changes in this Beta.

No problem here, but in System Preferences the Startup Disk is glitching between Windows and BS whereas initially it was stable just after the update - I will download Beta4 and do a vanilla install from a USB Drive tomorrow just to clear the pipes out so to speak.

Netflix works, Amazon Video works, Apple TV+ works, YouTube freezes. No idea why - might be a hack they are using to push users towards Chrome and it is broken on newest Safari build... Or could it be because I do not have a 4k/5k screen on my "iMacPro"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, When you say Netflix, etc. works, is that in Safari? Might I ask how'd you get DRM to work? Netflix, AppleTV etc doesn't work for me... Is it in the boot-args? Thanks.

Netflix, AppleTV etc doesn't work for me... Is it in the boot-args? Thanks. I took an unorthodox approach and changed my SMBIOS to iMacPro1,1 instead of a iMac19,1. I do use an external video card and not the iGPU (this is known to be broken). I also had to fix all CPU PM via SSDTs. A lot of work, to be honest. 6 minutes ago, Andrey1970 said: 8K New Features in macOS Big Sur 11 beta 4 Support for 4K HDR playback of YouTube videos.

I navigated back and forth a couple times, video is playing... but I cannot switch them to another mode (theatre or full screen) without it crapping and doing the same over and over. Annoying beta 4 wins the beta competition (so far...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
