CloneBD didn't detect Cinavia on Passengers. I got no detection warning but Cinavia was definitely on the disc.
It always turns purple when the removal is activated, no matter if Cinavia is actually there or not.Redfox icon does turn purple.
Maybe the signal is not to be found in the first minute or so.Running the Passengers main movie in the Preview Player of CloneBD for one minute gave no indication of Cinavia, as it normally would.
Sneaky devils.It actually pops up the warning on into the movie. I knew it had to have it so I let it play until it did. Being a SONY release.

Kind of ruins the usual test I do.
It's worth always taking a quick look at the back of the Blu-ray case - Sony tend to put the Cinavia logo on the back (Universal/Lionsgate don't much)
Not exactly. but on in to beginning of movie.
It was a rental from Netflix. It acted strange from the start as my Pioneer reader didn't want to recognize the disc. As I said in an earlier post I had to try it several times before it finally recognized the disc and started up. I let it play in preview mode for several minutes and never got the warning for Cinavia. Are they trying something different now?That's good to know.
Won't help if you have a rental though. I think slovell had a rental disc.
If I get a minute tonight, I'll keep running in the Preview til I get the indication.

On testing, I got the Cinavia alarm in CBD at 1 minute 55 seconds. Not a substantially longer time but a longer time nonetheless. So yes, I believe there's something different about Cinavia on this disc from that perspective.
It's not the first disc to behave like that.
The reason is really simple ....
... You don't have to listen for 2 minutes - simply seek to a more "vivid" sequence in the preview player and you should get the message faster.
That would be an absolutely desirable approach, but the mechanics of a Blu-ray drive are such, that this won't work. That would require a lot of seeking forward and backward during playback.Believe it or not, I always thought CBD was reading ahead through the audio for the entire movie while it shows us the first few minutes in the Preview. Shows how wrong you can be when you don't understand the underlying process.

Of course, isn't that obvious?Do you mean it would have to go forward and backward to show video and read audio simultaneously
Of course, isn't that obvious?
To read ahead, it would have to "fast forward" through the input while, at the same time, not fast forwarding for the video, so clearly it would have to start reading from two physical positions at once and disc drives are not designed for that kind of use.
BTW: if you want to simulate what this would be like, simply play back the video and at the same time browse the contents of the disc with Windows explorer. You won't like it
