Maybe USB hard drives and flash drives are treated differently? I don't own a BDP-10x or BDP-20x so I can't say. I'm still happily using my region-free BDP-83 and BDP-93 players.
- Cinavia is more strictly enforced, applying to USB hard drives and DLNA, SMB and NFS networking, as well as optical discs as before (it is not detected over the HDMI input last time I checked, nor over HDMI ARC, but that could change)
Look i paid 418.00$ U.S. for a 55" Hisense Smart TV...Reviews were so so...They can't be kept on the shelf at Walmart or Bestbuy. For 35.00 extra 5 years replacement. The picture is killer. The Oppo 205 cost me 3x the cost of the TV and the 203 cost me $595 and i put chips myself in both that cost me 50USD each and that has nothing to do with Cinavia. The Oppo 95 i got from Hawaii NOS about 6 weeks ago for 400USD and i have that Panasonic for the old lady
I remember that, I should of not told them about this but i was thinking about what you said. You were right it should have Cinavia in the USB. But next firmware it will be closed but its sure nice to be Cinavia free in these newer players. They just plain out told me thank you and we don't check firmware for flaws. I said oh until the movie industry sues you, you will. Now the 95 is unplugged but i have a bad hurricane coming and i'm not leaving.

Cinavia can never be detected over HDMI input or ARC, as the player can not verify, if it originates from a trusted source.Cinavia is more strictly enforced, applying to USB hard drives and DLNA, SMB and NFS networking, as well as optical discs as before (it is not detected over the HDMI input last time I checked, nor over HDMI ARC, but that could change)
After all this BS with a few Oppo's and nothing wrong with them. I decided to see what my smart 4K TV had to offer with it's USB 3.0 input. The manual doesn't say much. I hooked a external 6TB to the USB 3.0 smart TV and just like a Bluray player it plays Bluray media and of course does not check for Cinavia either. So if a person wanted to rip there Blurays to a external HDD "One that you make not pre-built". The smart TV will play them the same as you having a $1200.00 UHD/Bluray player for the cost of a $17.00 USB 3.0 Protronix HDD caddy and $150.00 for a 6TB HDD SATA III. Upscaling to near 4K to boot.
Hisense 55" 55H6D model 4K. it even upscales your 1080i cable signal after i called Hisense today there support open 7 days. $418 total and a pic of a 3k TV, and yes to HDR and all that too.
I usually run external HDD thru my Oppo's USB 3.0 Ports, But i wanted to see what would happened if connected direct to the TV's 3.0 port and then a call to Hisense
They gave me a PDF that makes the manual you get with the TV look sick.
The manual in pdf does not state all formats as i took that up with Hisense, It will play Full MKV like from MakeMKV flawless and also folders, It does not play ISO. Folders same thing as ISO.
You know how i do it, I still make a ISO then use WinRAR to uncompress to a folder then nuke the ISO. But i tried AnyDVD and Monkey to folder also same thing same GB as ISO.
I'm putting the entire contents from inside the ISO on the HDD, But it's in a folder of the movie name like the ISO. Just not in a ISO container. A folder
I prefer MKV less hassle, Coming attractions and all that don't interest me but MKV can have all audio tracks and sub titles but i don't need that either.
MP4 works also but not listed but MP4 can't do everything like MKV...When i use MKV its original video and audio like the original disc. 5 mins and done.
The TV has to many apps, I tried a few and impressed but you can add apps to the TV also. Never heard of the brand but what sold me was seeing 50 TV's with the same video playing it stood out and the price and for 35 or 50 $ more a 3 or 5 year replacement. DrinkLyeAndDie heard about this brand before i purchased it and brang it up, The video is killer.
They don't last around here, I seen BestBuy and Walmart go out of stock in a day. There is 3 USB ports but only one is USB 3.0 and there 4 HDMI But only 2 are 60HZ the other 2 are 30HZ, I don't use those.
I just looked my folder has a playlist and stream folder, You can uncompress a ISO like a zip file with WinRAR. It still has everything that a ISO has inside except its in a open folder now once uncompressed. If you want it back to a ISO use build in ImgBurn and it's compressed again.
I ripped my Bluray Deepwater Horizon and put the folders on a thumb drive...Then i said let me put a 6TB HDD with a 6ft USB 3.0 cable to the TV and that worked...Then that's when i said let me call Hisense. And i did...They turned around and told me put the TV's HDMI setting to enhanced so whatever goes thru the TV gets upscale close to 4K as possible.
For example if a ISO is 38.8GB so is the folder 38.8GB.
I thought the same until i seen it live in store's compared to others and DrinkLyeNDie knew more about the quality then i did before i purchased one from other owners. The picture is that good or i'd return it 30 days ago. BTW this is a 2017 model. I spent bigger money on Samsung and LG 1080P. This beats them by far. As far as UHD Bluray goes i'm not to sure it will make it as it doesn't impress me even though i have the hardware. I hope it does take a dive UHD discs.
