Playback of encrypted content
To watch protected content, in addition to the configuration for watching clear content, you must also identify the DRM in use, integrate the application with a remote server to send and retrieve licenses, and configure the application to check entitlements and deal with missing or expired entitlements.
Prerequisites
- The application is configured for clear content.
- An encrypted stream is available for testing.
License server connection
The PAK is integrated with the license server in direct connection mode.
Direct mode, also associated with silent mode, means that the license server exposes end-points on the internet to which the PAK can connect. The connection between the PAK and the license server offers a tunnel for the client application and the portal to exchange information pertaining to the request (typically used for authentication and authorisation).
Process
The full procedure comprises the following steps:
- Create the PAK
- Set platform parameters
- Configure debug settings (optional)
- Initialise the PAK
