How to watch pirated tv shows from usb on ps5?

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.

If you have the ability using Plex on the ps5 to stream your media to it is quite nice too

Plex is indeed one of the apps you can get on the PS5 from its media app library and what I was going to suggest.

This is exactly what I do, and it works perfectly
