Assuming from your sig you are using Linux. I am really certain there
are not and never will be Linux drivers with HDCP "support". What is the
point of encrypting the stream to the display when everyone can hack the
kernel to grab the data there?

??? There is no HDCP media. HDCP is just (more or less) an encryption
layer over HDMI. And certainly MPlayer won't enable HDCP, what for? We
don't profit from hardware sales caused by this intentional breakage
of old devices after all...
