Hi everyone,

I recently got a PS5 and I’m loving it so far. However, I’ve run into a problem when I tried to watch TV shows that I’ve downloaded onto a USB drive. The Media Gallery on PS5 doesn’t play copyright-protected files.

I’m curious about how exactly copyrighted videos get detected on the PS5 and if there’s any workaround. I find it odd that I can play videos downloaded from YouTube but not ones from other sources.

    Is that all they’re doing now? I haven’t used a ps for media since I think the ps3, which had that system that it would shut off the sound.

      Cinavia! Allegedly it’s still around and mandated in all consumer Blu-ray players.
