I have installed Plex media server on mu Readynas and i wounder if I use my ReadyNAS for transcoding, should my bluray player not be affected by Cinavia protection? or is there another way I can avoid this?

There is no known way to actually remove the Cinavia watermark (short of removing the audio track altogether). Some players can be hacked to disable Cinavia detection, but that is quite different from removing the watermark itself.

So if your playback device is built to block playback of Cinavia-protected tracks from the DLNA server, then you either need to live with that limitation or get another player.

Actually this doesn't work.

Cinavia adds a watermark to the audio stream that survives transcoding. It even can be detected in a recording (aiming a camera at the screen in a movie theater). AFAIK no one has found a way to remove the watermark. There are some hacks that disable the check in some players, but the protection itself remains.

I think Cinavia is off-topic for this forum though.
