No, of course not.

EDIT:
Only devices which can play ORIGINAL Blu-ray discs may have Cinavia detection. No TVs. No media players. No smartphones. No ...
 
hi there James!
Thank you for the reply.
 
BUMP

Looking at a new TV and considering a Sony OLED. (Which are made by Samsung BTW, AFAIK.)

I remember reading a post on here saying someone was playing back a 4K MKV file downloaded from a torrent, and got a message about copyright and a blanked screen. (Can't remember if it was Cinavia, HDCP, external drive, network playback, etc.) They found if they disconnected the TV from the Internet the message & blanked screen went away. Finally, I seem to remember them saying it affected 4K resolution only.

Anyone have any experience with anything like that? Can anyone with a Sony OLED (preferably a 2020 or 2021 model) confirm that they can play any 4K/HD decrypted content and the TV itself doesn't have any issues?
 
You do know this thread is over 2yls old right?

TV's don't give a rats ass about cinavia. Unless they have optical drives capable of blu-ray built-in, they're not licensed blu-ray players. However Sony being the main backer of the tech, i wouldn't be surprised if theirs do detztc it even on USB played media.

Yes, I know it's old, hence the BUMP.

Thanks for the info James... not sure what was happening with that poster I linked. It seems he was putting USB sticks into TV's and also players and trying to play ripped 4K content, and was getting a message and blanked screen. It looks like it wasn't Cinavia, but some other kind of watermarking system for 4K content. So, I guess you have to use a player that doesn't trigger that message, or some other method that doesn't trigger that message.

It is very simple. You have to use a player, which *cannot* play *original* Blu-ray discs, and you will never see any Cinavia message.
Playing (UHD)Blu-rays reguires an AACS license. AACS license requires a Cinavia implementation. EVERYTHING ELSE (TVs, media players, Kodi, VLC, Phones, whatnot...) does not care.
