Hi,

Any updates on implementing Widevine DRM for the video streaming Yahoo widget?

Please do post the sample code for implementing the same on the Yahoo TV platform for passing the authentication key URL & the sample video URL.

Also is the DRM video playback supported on the Yahoo TV simulator?

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
