Cinavia detection without BluRay Player?
August 5th, 2016
Basically the subject line. I run Kodi (formerly XBMC) at home most of the time and have no intentions of bothering with BluRay, mostly because it is SONY’s format and I knew they would be unable to resist the temptation to meddle precisely like this and so have never even so much as heard of Cinavia until recently. I was at a friend’s house and trying to watch a few new releases on his Samsung BluRay player, you know the kind which come with a version of Netflix, Youtube and a few other streaming apps builtin? They also support playback of files encoded in h264. Was going good until suddenly the message popped up telling us the audio was now muted and would stay muted.
So other than wasting money buying a BluRay player and burning disc after disc is there a software method to test Cinavia to see if it will be triggered or not? Am mostly on Mac OSX and Linux so hopefully something for those platforms is available.
Thanks for the time.

I did a bit back, but those were mostly academic discussions I found about the subject–I was hoping people here with direct experience could chime in with information. Sorry.
Hmmm…Looks like I’ll have to put together a Windows box to run the software as there does not seem to be a MacOS X equivalent to CineEX HD. Or try and find clean copies of the files online somewhere…
Thanks for the reply.
