How to play DRM protected content with Irdeto

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.

1var conf = {
2    key: 'YOUR-PLAYER-LICENSE-KEY-HERE',
3    source: {
4        dash: 'DASH_MANIFEST_URL',
5        drm: {
6            widevine: {
7                LA_URL: 'WIDEVINE_LA_URL',
8                headers: {
9                    privateData: 'cookie=PRIVATE_DRM_DATA'
10                },
11            }
12        }
13    }
14};

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.
• PRIVATE_DRM_DATA: The private data to send to the DRM server to authenticate

14                },
15                prepareLicense: function (license) {
16                    return new Uint8Array(license);
17                },
