A Cinavia question

[Maldini]

A couple of years ago when streaming torrents to my PS3, I started to encounter the Cinavia error.

I then switched to the WDTV streamer since it did not support Cinavia detection.

Recently in the last 5 months I have switched to streaming via Plex on my PS4 and have not experienced a single Cinavia error and I don't understand why.

I guess it could be 2 things

1) The rippers and encoders are removing what can trigger Cinavia before they post the torrent

2) the PS4 does not detect Cinavia when streaming (which is odd since the PS3 did).


Any ideas? I am not complaining but I just want to understand why because if it is number 2, that could easily be corrected in a PS4 sw update and then I would be back at square 1 again.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

maybe the source was not cinavia protected or the audio was from a different source?

I understand for any one torrent that could be the answer but I have watched probably over a hundred different torrents and none have shown Cinavia on the PS4 which is what caused my question.

Many if not most of these torrents were considered blu ray rips, which used to have the cinavia protection in tact when ripped.  That is what made me wonder if the people who were ripping them were specifically doing so to get around Cinavia or if it was just the PS4 in particular that was not detecting the Cinavia.
