How to stream Widevine DRM video ?

Hi,

Can you please post a sample code for a widget, which streams Widevine DRM enabled video.

We have the authentication key URL & the sample video URL too. Apart from the mentioned two URL's, what other parameters are mandatory?


TIA

The mediaplayer does support Widevine DRM in OEMs having hardware support. Please check out the online API documentation http://developer.yahoo.com/connectedtv/kontxapi/#file:core__mediaplayer

I think you can initialize the KONtx.mediaplayer as follows:

KONtx.mediaplayer.initialize({drm:{system:"widevine", bandwidthCheckURL:"http://abc.com/blah"}});

Check other APIs like KONtx.media.WidevinePlaylistEntry and KONtx.media.drm.WidevineOptions related to playlists for widevine.

Thanks,
Vivek
