Playing protected content using BuyDRM

Overview

If you are not sure what DRM is, you want have an overview and get started, please have a look at our DRM Setup Guide.

Nearly every license provider, such as Irdeto or BuyDRM, requires a few special information being sent to the DRM license server, or responds with a proprietary format. Instead of integrating a few license providers into the core of our player, we decided to provide necessary configuration options via the player configuration.

Widevine

const sourceConfig = {
  dash: "DASH_MANIFEST_URL",
  drm: {
    widevine: {
      LA_URL: "http://widevine.licensekeyserver.com",
      headers: { "customdata": "BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA" },
    }
  }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

DASH_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the DASH manifest (MPD) file.
BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA: BuyDRM authentication XML in base64 encoded format to send along with the license request.

PlayReady

const sourceConfig = {
  dash: "DASH_MANIFEST_URL",
  drm: {
    playready: {
      LA_URL: "http://sldrm.licensekeyserver.com/core/rightsmanager.asmx",
      headers: { "customdata": "BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA" },
    }
  }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

DASH_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the DASH manifest (MPD) file.
BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA: BuyDRM authentication XML in base64 encoded format to send along with the license request.

Fairplay

const sourceConfig = {
  hls: "HLS_MANIFEST_URL",
  drm: {
    fairplay: {
      LA_URL: "https://fp-keyos.licensekeyserver.com/getkey",
      certificateURL: "CERTIFICATE_URL",
      headers: { "customdata": "BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA" },
      prepareMessage : (event, session) => `spc=${event.messageBase64Encoded}&assetId=${session.contentId}`,
      prepareContentId : contentId => {
        const idx = contentId.indexOf("skd://");
        if (idx > -1) {
          return contentId.substring(8, 40);
        }
        throw "Invalid Content ID format. The format of the Content ID must be the following: skd://xxx where xxx is the Key ID in hex format.";
      }
    }
  }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

HLS_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the HLS manifest (M3U8) file.
BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA: BuyDRM authentication XML in base64 encoded format to send along with the license request.
CERTIFICATE_URL: The URL to the FairPlay certificate as provided by BuyDRM

      certificateURL: "CERTIFICATE_URL",
      headers: { "customdata": "BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA" },
      prepareMessage : (event, session) => `spc=${event.messageBase64Encoded}&assetId=${session.contentId}`,
      prepareContentId : contentId => {
        const idx = contentId.indexOf("skd://");
        if (idx > -1) {

        throw "Invalid Content ID format. The format of the Content ID must be the following: skd://xxx where xxx is the Key ID in hex format.";
      }
