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

var conf = {
  key: "YOUR-PLAYER-KEY-HERE",
  source: {
    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

var conf = {
  key: "YOUR-PLAYER-KEY-HERE",
  source: {
    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

var conf = {
  key: "YOUR-PLAYER-KEY-HERE",
  source: {
    hls: "HLS_MANIFEST_URL",
    drm: {
      fairplay: {
        LA_URL: "https://fp-keyos.licensekeyserver.com/getkey",
        certificateURL: "CERTIFICATE_URL",
        headers : {
          "customdata": "BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA",
        },
        prepareMessage : function(event, session) {
          return "spc=" + event.messageBase64Encoded + "&assetId=" + session.contentId;
        },
        prepareContentId : function(contentId) {
          var 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
