Playing protected content with EZDRM

Overview

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

const source = {
  dash: 'DASH_MANIFEST_URL',
  drm: {
    widevine: {
      LA_URL: 'http://widevine-dash.ezdrm.com/proxy?pX=EZDRM_ACCOUNT_ID'
    }
  }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

DASH_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the DASH manifest (MPD) file.
EZDRM_ACCOUNT_ID: Your EZDRM account ID.

If your setup requires the sending of customData to the license server, this can be added to the license server URL as well:

const source = {
  dash: 'DASH_MANIFEST_URL',
  drm: {
    widevine: {
      LA_URL: 'http://widevine-dash.ezdrm.com/proxy?pX=EZDRM_ACCOUNT_ID&CustomData=BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA'
    }
  }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

DASH_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the DASH manifest (MPD) file.
EZDRM_ACCOUNT_ID: Your EZDRM account ID.
BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA: EZDRM customData to send along with the license request.

PlayReady

const source = {
  dash: 'DASH_MANIFEST_URL',
  drm: {
    playready: {
      LA_URL: 'http://playready.ezdrm.com/cency/preauth.aspx?pX=EZDRM_ACCOUNT_ID'
    }
  }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

DASH_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the DASH manifest (MPD) file.
EZDRM_ACCOUNT_ID: Your EZDRM account ID.

If your setup requires the sending of customData to the license server, this can be added to the license server URL as well:

const source = {
  dash: 'DASH_MANIFEST_URL',
  drm: {
    playready: {
      LA_URL: 'http://playready.ezdrm.com/cency/preauth.aspx?pX=EZDRM_ACCOUNT_ID&t=BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA'
    }
  }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

DASH_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the DASH manifest (MPD) file.
EZDRM_ACCOUNT_ID: Your EZDRM account ID.
BASE64_ENCODED_CUSTOM_DATA: EZDRM customData to send along with the license request.

FairPlay

const source = {
  hls: 'HLS_MANIFEST_URL',
  drm: {
    fairplay: {
      LA_URL: 'http://fps.ezdrm.com/api/licenses/CONTENT_ID',
      certificateURL: 'CERTIFICATE_URL',
      prepareContentId: (contentId) => {
        const uri = contentId;
        let uriParts = uri.split('://', 1);
        const protocol = uriParts[0].slice(-3);
        uriParts = uri.split(';', 2);
        contentId = uriParts.length > 1 ? uriParts[1] : '';
        uriParts = contentId.split('?', 2);
        contentId = uriParts.length > 1 ? uriParts[0] : contentId;
        return protocol.toLowerCase() == 'skd' ? contentId : '';
      },
      prepareLicenseAsync: ckc => {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
          const reader = new FileReader();
          reader.addEventListener('loadend', () => resolve(new Uint8Array(reader.result)));
          reader.addEventListener('error', () => reject(reader.error));
          reader.readAsArrayBuffer(ckc);
        });
      },
      prepareMessage: event => new Blob([event.message], {type: 'application/octet-binary'}),
      headers: { 'content-type': 'application/octet-stream' },
      useUint16InitData: true,
      licenseResponseType: 'blob'
    }
  }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

HLS_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the HLS manifest (M3U8) file.
CONTENT_ID: The content ID for the given asset, which should be in the format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.
CERTIFICATE_URL: The URL to the Fairplay certificate. This needs to be accessible for the player.
