Cinavia Playback

If you have a Smart TV you can rip disc to compatible format for your TV, then stream it or put in on USB flash drive. It will play without detection.

A media player is a hardware solution. Mine does not have a built in optical drive, few do. It does have a hard drive and I make a main movie iso, copy to the HDD and play in full resolution and I don't know if a BR has Cinavia until I read it on the forum. I have attached a USB optical drive and played a DVD with Cinavia without issue through it.

There's always the option of getting yourself a hardware playback device without a Blu-ray disc drive

Technically the BD drive has nothing to do with it. The player monitors the audio, looking for the protection.

And to add to 90312's advice...

Given that only Blu-ray players need to include mandatory support for Cinavia. There's always the option of getting yourself a hardware playback device without a Blu-ray disc drive

If you burn to a disc there is no getting around Cinavia. I don't burn to disc anymore and never give it a second thought.

Cinavia problems, will DVDFAB ever get a fix in for this problem?

Probably not, considering how the protection is embedded into the audio.

I have tried the mkv passthrough and played Ouija from my pc to tv and it worked great.

I have 3 dvd and blue ray players, old and new. I can not get the message off of Dracula untold any help would be appreciated

Have you tried to convert the file to MP4 and do a playback?

I haven't had any problems with our Oppo BluRay player with MP4's.

If your player has a USB port you can make an MKV passthrough and play it from a thumb drive or external hard drive without loss of quality. You can't burn it to a disc and get away from it.

You can't play it through the thumb drive on the Samsung F5900 Blu-Ray player either. The USB port has Cinavia as well. I can plug it directly into my 6000 series Samsung TV's USB port and watch it though. For now...

i have a samsung BD-D5500 it's cinavia free.there are some still around,but don't update the firmware.

Good to know . . that Samsung player appears to be the same vintage as the Sony S580 series, which also got blessed with a cinavia infected firmware update.

I have a older Panasonic DMP-BD75 the U.S. version has no Cinavia often brought online.

I moved this thread here. And a firmware update on an older player could make it vulnerable to the Cinavia plague.

The only player I am aware of that was licensed and manufactured prior to the forced cinavia implementation date that had cinavia implemented via firmware afterwards is the Sony BDP-S580 series. Are there others from other manufacturers also? I am not aware of any straight DVD players that have cinavia incorporated into them. It would be helpful if the OP provided the exact manufacturer and model numbers of the players he has tried that are giving him the cinavia error message.
