Entitlement and DRM

What you learn

You're instantiating DIVA Player in your web 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 the <video id> and <settings URL>.
• 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

Enrich the Basic instantiation code with the entitlement configuration:

• entitlementUser: It returns the token that entitles a video player user to stream a specific video.
• entitlementPlatform: Platform parameter used to request the entitlement token.

Entitlement code sample

Write the entitlement configuration:

const token = "<entitlement token of the video player user>";

const entitlementConfiguration = {
  entitlementUser: () => token,
  entitlementPlatform: "<platform>"
};

Finally, add the entitlementConfiguration to the DIVA Player instantiation:

<DivaWebBoAdapter
    settingsURL={"<settingsURL>"}
    languageCode={"en-US"}
    config={config}
    entitlementConfiguration={entitlementConfiguration}
/>

Working sample code (.tsx)

import React from "react";
import { DivaWebBoAdapter } from "@deltatre-vxp/diva-sdk/diva-web-bo-adapter";
import "@deltatre-vxp/diva-sdk/diva-web-sdk/index.min.css";

const videoId = "<videoId";

const libs = {
  mux: "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mux.js/6.2.0/mux.min.js",
  shaka: "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/shaka-player/4.7.11/shaka-player.compiled.js",
  hlsJs: "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@1.4.12",
  googleIMA: false,
  googleDAI: false,
  googleCast: false,
  threeJs: false
};

const config = {
  videoId: videoId,
  libs: libs,
};

const token = "<entitlement token of the video player user>";

const entitlementConfiguration = {
  entitlementUser: () => token,
  entitlementPlatform: "<platform>"
};

const props = {
  settingsUrl: "<Settings URL>",
  languageCode: "en-US",
  languageDictionary: "en-US",
  onDivaBoAdapterError: console.error,
  config: config,
  entitlementConfiguration: entitlementConfiguration
}

function App() {
  return (
    <DivaWebBoAdapter
      {
      ...props
      }
    />
  );
}

export default App;
