ERROR_GRAPHICS_OPM_THEATER_MODE_ENABLED
Theater mode is a display-driver routing mode, not full-screen playback
ERROR_GRAPHICS_OPM_THEATER_MODE_ENABLED refers to a legacy graphics-driver theater topology in which video is redirected or expanded onto another physical connector. It is unrelated to a browser or media-player user-interface option named theater mode. The protected-output creation DDI rejects this routing because the target can represent more than one connector or a nonstandard overlay path.
Turn off the adapter vendor's theater or overlay-clone feature, commit the new display topology, and enumerate OPM outputs again. Do not attempt to bypass the error by enabling protection only on the primary screen: the driver must expose an unambiguous physical output for every path that can carry the decrypted frames.
Configuration details that remove ambiguity
- The vendor control-panel mode active when the failure occurs.
- Which connector receives the redirected or enlarged video image.
- Whether the target ID maps to multiple physical monitor connectors.
- The result after switching to standard extended, clone, or single-display mode.
