Open the Parallels Desktop ".dmg" installation file, locate the file in the "Finder" and select "Install.". I'll show you how to setup a Parallels Desktop virtual machine, for instance, in the sections below. You should be aware of your Mac computer's hardware and virtual machine installation restrictions to avoid download issues, because not all Mac systems can support the installation of a Windows virtual machine. While it is a little more difficult, you can setup a Windows virtual machine, run the Windows operating system on your Mac, and then install the Netflix app in a Windows environment and download films directly from the app. The only errors I know of that isn't affected by resetting/reinstalling for Windows is Registry errors.There are several choices if you'd prefer to download movies via the Netflix app. I'm going off what the Microsoft Support person told me yesterday about these kinds of error codes being a corrupted file from an uninstalled app/program. If anyone can find the Registry part that checks for DRM protection and change the value? There might be a fix for it yet. I used Little Snitch (found here ) to figure out what server the Movies & TV app connects to when playing a purchased movie.
It has to be a DRM issue since the internet works for everything else. I even tried using the Movies & TV app with the Parallels tools uninstalled. I did reset, reinstalled, and deleted the original VM file and created a new one. It also does this when using the Xbox app and DRM protected games, the reason they run slowly. It's the only possible reason for this error. This would obviously fail because the system is reporting an "unknown" cpu aka Apple silicon. do not work because they use an API that checks for DRM protection which also includes a check if the system is running Qualcomm Arm chip.
It's why Disney+ app, Netflix app, Movies & TV app, etc (but not the websites as that's done through the browser). Here's what I'm thinking it is: Microsoft still has the deal with Qualcomm exclusive and there's a DRM check every time you try to watch a DRM protected movie.
