Entitlement and DRM

What you learn​

You're instantiating DIVA Player in your Android front-end and relying on DIVA Back Office as the video streaming source.

The goal of this article is to build the simplest front-end to stream a video from the DIVA Back Office with entitlement check and DRM.

Before starting​

  • Set up the development environment.
  • Ensure the DIVA Back Office instance you rely on is up and running.
  • Ask your video engineers team <videoId>, <settingsURL>, <languageCountryCode>, <userToken> and <sharedKey>.
  • Ensure the settings file contains:
    • The entitlementCheck section: 
      "entitlementCheck": {
            "entitlementUrl": "<yourEntitlementBaseURL>/tokenize",
            "heartbeatUrl": "<yourEntitlementBaseURL>/heartbeat",
            "heartbeatPollingInterval": 180000,
            "other": "{<sessionId>}|{<platform>}",
            "fairPlayCertificateUrl": "<yourFairPlayCertificateBaseURL>/fairplay.cer"
        }
    • The videoPlatformsPriority section: 
      "videoPlatformsPriority": {
          "default": [
              {
                  "type": "DASH",
                  "sourceName": "Desktop-DASH",
                  "drmType": "playready"
              },
              {
                  "type": "DASH",
                  "sourceName": "Desktop-DASH",
                  "drmType": "widevine"
              },
              {
                  "type": "HLS",
                  "sourceName": "Desktop-V4",
                  "drmType": "fairplay"
              }
          ],
          "chromecast": [
              {
                  "type": "DASH",
                  "sourceName": "Chromecast-DASH",
                  "drmType": "widevine"
              }
          ]
    }

Instantiation​

DRM code​

There's no code to add to the Basic instantiation code.

Entitlement code​

There's no code to add to the Basic instantiation code. Just ensure to value the getCurrentUserAccountAccessToken parameter with a valid <user access token> when instantiating the DIVA Player:

getCurrentUserAccountAccessToken = {
            //Get the user token
            "<user access token>"
        },
