HDCP Issue When Playing Bluray but Advisor Shows PASS

I'm trying to play a Bluray on my PC, and I've run the BD Advisor tool many times for Full HD Blurays and it passes every time. Yet when I try to play a Bluray (specifically Interstellar, haven't been able to try with others yet) PowerDVD is saying that the "required HDCP could not be initiated". I've confirmed that all the cables, the TVs, the HDMI to Mini DisplayPort adapters, and the video card are all HDCP compliant. Drivers are up to date as well.

This PC is using a Radeon Pro WX 9100, with 6 TVs plugged in using HDM to Mini DisplayPort adapters, and Eyefinity connecting all the TVs into one large 6k by 2k screen.

I've attached an image of the error.

The HDCP DRM (on Blu-rays) does not allow the playback to multiple monitors simultaneously.
Change your display projection mode to extended mode, and keep the playback on single monitor.

BTW, you use an adapter to mirror the display into 6 TVs?
There are various no-brand adapters (or label with a small brand you never heard) lack of HDCP compatibility, or not stable when displaying the DRM content playback even though those adapters claim they are compatible with HDCP.

It is not recommended to use any adapters.
It contaminated the HDCP if you want to play the DRM contents right.

Thanks for the response!

The 6 TVS are all plugged into one video card in the PC. Then the displays are linked together into one big display using software called Eyefinity, which is built in to the video card drivers. Windows sees all the TVs as one big screen.

The adapters in use are converting HDMI to Mini Display port, since the ports on the video card are mini Displayport.
