Playing protected content with Irdeto

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 Verimatrix or Irdeto, 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-LICENSE-KEY-HERE',
    source: {
        dash: 'DASH_MANIFEST_URL',
        drm: {
            widevine: {
                LA_URL: 'WIDEVINE_LA_URL',
                headers: {
                    privateData: 'cookie=VUID'
                },
            }
        }
    }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

DASH_MANIFEST_URL: The MPEG-DASH manifest (MPD) URL.
WIDEVINE_LA_URL: The Widevine license server URL.
VUID: The VUID data to send to the DRM server to authenticate.

Playready

var conf = {
    key: 'YOUR-PLAYER-LICENSE-KEY-HERE',
    source: {
        dash: 'DASH_MANIFEST_URL',
        drm: {
            playready: {
                LA_URL: 'PLAYREADY_LA_URL',
                headers: {
                    privateData: 'cookie=PRIVATE_DRM_DATA', // Assumption as of now!
                },
            }
        }
    }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

DASH_MANIFEST_URL: The MPEG-DASH manifest (MPD) URL.
PLAYREADY_LA_URL: The PlayReady license server URL.
PRIVATE_DRM_DATA: The private data to send to the DRM server to authenticate. Also known as VUID.

Fairplay

// Still needs to be updated!

var conf = {
    key: 'YOUR-PLAYER-LICENSE-KEY-HERE',
    source: {
        hls: 'HLS_MANIFEST_URL',
        drm: {
            fairplay: {
                certificateURL: 'CERTIFICATE_URL',
                LA_URL: 'FPS_LA_URL',
                prepareContentId: function (contentId) {
                    return contentId.match(/ContentId=([^&]+)/)[1];
                },
                prepareMessage: function (event, session) {
                    return new Uint8Array(event.message);
                },
                prepareLicense: function (license) {
                    return new Uint8Array(license);
                },
                licenseResponseType: 'arraybuffer'
            }
        }
    }
};

Please replace the following placeholders in the code:

HLS_MANIFEST_URL: The URL to the HLS manifest (M3U8) file.
FPS_LA_URL: The FairPlay license server URL.
CERTIFICATE_URL: The URL to the Fairplay certificate. This needs to be accessible for the player.
