SpyderCanopus Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Apparently this "cinavia" DRM has been around for a while, but I just had my first taste of it and can't be happier it happened sooner than later, when I might have purchased another Sony console. I have no desire to attempt bypassing it, but the fact it exists instantly made me anti-sony. I suppose the PC is the only platform I can trust not to self-destruct into a useless pile of DRM. I was a playstation fan, but now it's enemy. FiB3R 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strotee Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 i'm guessing you downloaded some pirated movie made by a Sony movie studio lol. yea it sucks the PS3 has that DRM but there are other devices out there that play it without the audio getting killed. (e.g. WD Live) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpyderCanopus Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I buy blu-rays and copy them with Handbrake to a media server to make everything play instantly across any device in the house. I am definitely now in the market for a streaming device. WD Live will be one of them I look into. FiB3R and ahhell 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was annoying. -Alex- 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy0 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 You can get around it by setting the PS3's clock forward a couple of hours every 20 minutes when the Cinavia thing stops your movie playing... but that is one giant pain in the arse.

I saw it in action on a friend's PS3 and yeah, it's annoying. I can't be that bothered as I don't use my PS3 as a media server, heh. -Alex-, Ian W and ZakO 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miuku. Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Helps to read... I think he means he doesn't quite believe that he's just "out of the blue" encountering this issue and is in fact just downloading some crap from torrents that include Cinavia. However, you can get around Cinavia by using a passthrough DTS if you have a DTS enabled decoder. mkv2vob helps here.

AbandonedTrolley Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 From what I understand also if you keep the folder structure of the bluray then it will also create a file to make sure that the protection doesn't kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arceles Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Why pay double the price for a Boxee when you can get a WD Live that plays everything?

max22 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It is easy to get around Cinavia. There is a solution online that takes less than 5 mins. That way I can play my .mkv Blu Ray rips to the tv in the living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Overlord Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Guys, this is a 2012 thread Also, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but get an xbox360, it is an authorised console so cinavia on legally purchased material doesn't concern it.
