How to trust your player Building an OTT service for todays world

Rating & reviews (0 reviews)
Globally, the volume of global OTT drm streaming has grown 63% between Q2 2019 and Q2 2020, according to a report from Conviva, a leading supplier of video analytics technology. Similarly, total losses to piracy of streamed content worldwide are skyrocketing, impacting live and on-demand services alike. Digital TV Research projects that by 2022, global losses to online video piracy will reach $51.6 billion — nearly double the amount lost in 2016.

The OTT service provider receives a request for content, authorizes the user session, then triggers the generation of a secure DRM token. This process is achieved by calling some ExpressPlay multi-DRM APIs and passing all the required parameters to create a DRM license, which includes an identifier of the CEK(s), and desired DRM license policies.

The ExpressPlay multi-DRM service returns a secure DRM token, which is an encrypted, opaque data blob that contains all the information from the previous request.

The OTT service provider inserts the secure DRM token in a DRM license acquisition URL, which is returned to the client application.

The client application initializes the media player with the DRM license acquisition URL, which triggers a DRM license acquisition call to the ExpressPlay multi-DRM service endpoint.
