Razerblade Advanced 2020 - Advanced Protected Audio/Video Path

I am trying to play 4k UHD blu-rays on the Razerblade advanced 2020. I'm not sure if this is possible or not, I haven't seen confirmation either way any where, so I've just been trying things out.

I have been able to pass every requirement except for 1.

There is no "Advanced Protected Audio/Video Path" from the PC to the display that I can find. The best I can make out, this is a copy protection thing to do with 4k UHD blu-ray stuff on PC, I need to be able to connect the display I am using directly to the Intel GPU in the blade, and not the nvidia GPU. Something to do with intel hogging the rights for this stuff or something. The display needs to go straight into the intel GPU.

Anyway, I can't find hard details anywhere for this blade, what audio/visual ports on this 2020 blade connect to what GPU? Does the HDMI port connect right into the discrete GPU? What about the two USB-c/thunderbolt ports, do they connect to the nvidia GPU too?

Or does anyone have a better idea about how to get this working, or if its even possible?

Any concrete info on this would be super useful, or feel free to point me somewhere else if there is a better place for this Q.

The display output ports are directly wired to the dedicated GPU. Your best bet is to set the GPU preference to Optimus.
