I'm not going to say which smart TV and Cinavia-enabled BD player I have in case "they" are lurking this forum. And yeah, "them" too...
I find I can copy to the hard drive the Cinavia BD50 Main Movie and then copy the m2ts file from the DVDFab\MainMovie\title\STREAM\BDMV directory to a USB stick and view it in its entirety from the USB port on the player where the same file burned to a disc will not. BD25 and BD9 main movie m2ts files work, too.
Similarly, those main movie m2ts files will play A-OK from a USB port on my smart TV from either a USB stick or an external USB HDD.
The HDD doesn't work on the BD player.
Being a noob here, I might expect a "well everyone knows that," but no they don't. I had a "I wonder if" moment and it worked out well. Hopefully, the Cinavia frustrated might give it a try on their equipment.
So, I have a cheapo 500 GB drive running on my smart TV and for the Cinavia media I just tell the kids and the uncaring guests to use the TV. (All others get copied to cheap BD9s.) Now even my original Cinavia BDs can stay locked up.
Cheers.
