Playing protected content with DRMtoday

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 EZDRM, 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: '//example.com/path/to/your/manifest.mpd',
    drm: {
      widevine: {
        LA_URL: 'https://license-server-url-provided-by-drmtoday',
        headers: {
          'x-dt-custom-data': 'INSERT-YOUR-BASE64-ENCODED-CUSTOMDATA'
        },
        prepareLicense : function(licenseObj) {
          var license = {license: licenseObj.license};
          try {
            var drmTodayObj = JSON.parse(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, licenseObj.license));
            if (drmTodayObj && drmTodayObj.status && drmTodayObj.license) {
              if (drmTodayObj.status === 'OK') {
                var str = window.atob(drmTodayObj.license);
                var bufView = new Uint8Array(new ArrayBuffer(str.length));
                for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
                  bufView[i] = str.charCodeAt(i);
                }
                license.license = bufView;
              } else {
                // license not okay
              }
            } else {
              // no valid DRMtoday license

          } catch (e) {
