FairPlay Support
We support FairPlay with EME on compatible environments or native src=
.
By default Shaka Player supports Modern EME, if your provider doesn't support Modern EME yet, you can use legacy Apple Media Keys with:
shaka.polyfill.PatchedMediaKeysApple.install();
If you need to use both legacy and Modern EME, for example if you have to support multiple DRM providers, it is possible to enable uninstalling the polyfill:
shaka.polyfill.PatchedMediaKeysApple.install(/* enableUninstall= */ true);
shaka.polyfill.PatchedMediaKeysApple.uninstall();
The support in each case would be the following:
Modern EME | legacy Apple Media Keys | |
---|---|---|
src= (CMAF) | Y | Y |
src= (TS) | Y | Y |
MSE (CMAF) | Y | - |
MSE (TS) | - | - |
Adding FairPlay support involves a bit more work than other key systems.
Keysystem used in EME
Depending on the EME implementation that is being used, the Fairplay keysystem varies.
For Modern EME:
com.apple.fps
For legacy Apple Media Keys:
com.apple.fps.1_0
Server certificate
All FairPlay content requires setting a server certificate. You can either provide it directly or set a serverCertificateUri for Shaka to fetch it for you.
const req = await fetch('https://example.com/cert.der');
const cert = await req.arrayBuffer();
player.configure('drm.advanced.com\\.apple\\.fps.serverCertificate',
new Uint8Array(cert));
player.configure('drm.advanced.com\\.apple\\.fps.serverCertificateUri',
'https://example.com/cert.der');
Content ID
Note: Normally only applies to legacy Apple Media Keys but some providers also need it in Modern EME.
Some FairPlay content use custom signaling for the content ID. The content ID is used by the browser to generate the license request. If you don't use the default content ID derivation, you need to specify a custom init data transform:
player.configure('drm.initDataTransform', (initData, initDataType, drmInfo) => {
if (initDataType != 'skd')
return initData;
// 'initData' is a buffer containing an 'skd://' URL as a UTF-8 string.
const skdUri = shaka.util.StringUtils.fromBytesAutoDetect(initData);
const contentId = getMyContentId(skdUri);
const cert = drmInfo.serverCertificate;
return shaka.util.FairPlayUtils.initDataTransform(initData, contentId, cert);
});
License wrapping
Some FairPlay servers need to accept the license request in a different format or give the response in a different format. For more info, see the general License Wrapping tutorial:
player.getNetworkingEngine().registerRequestFilter((type, request, context) => {
if (type != shaka.net.NetworkingEngine.RequestType.LICENSE) {
return;
}
const originalPayload = new Uint8Array(request.body);
const base64Payload =
shaka.util.Uint8ArrayUtils.toStandardBase64(originalPayload);
const params = 'spc=' + base64Payload;
request.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded';
request.body = shaka.util.StringUtils.toUTF8(encodeURIComponent(params));
});
player.getNetworkingEngine().registerResponseFilter((type, response, context) => {
if (type != shaka.net.NetworkingEngine.RequestType.LICENSE) {
return;
}
let responseText = shaka.util.StringUtils.fromUTF8(response.data);
// Trim whitespace.
responseText = responseText.trim();
// Look for <ckc> wrapper and remove it.
if (responseText.substr(0, 5) === '<ckc>' &&
responseText.substr(-6) === '</ckc>') {
responseText = responseText.slice(5, -6);
}
// Decode the base64-encoded data into the format the browser expects.
response.data = shaka.util.Uint8ArrayUtils.fromBase64(responseText).buffer;
});
Integration with some DRMs providers
Note: Some providers support both Modern EME and legacy Apple Media Keys.
EZDRM (Modern EME)
For integration with EZDRM the following can be used:
const FairPlayUtils = shaka.util.FairPlayUtils;
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerRequestFilter(FairPlayUtils.ezdrmFairPlayRequest);
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerResponseFilter(FairPlayUtils.commonFairPlayResponse);
Note: If the url of the license server has to undergo any transformation (eg: add the contentId), you would have to create your filter manually.
player.getNetworkingEngine().registerRequestFilter((type, request, context) => {
if (type != shaka.net.NetworkingEngine.RequestType.LICENSE) {
return;
}
const uri = request.uris[0];
const FairPlayUtils = shaka.util.FairPlayUtils;
const contentId = FairPlayUtils.defaultGetContentId(request.initData);
const newUri = uri.replace('^assetId^', contentId);
request.uris = [newUri];
request.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/octet-stream'
});
EZDRM (legacy Apple Media Keys)
For integration with EZDRM the following can be used:
shaka.polyfill.PatchedMediaKeysApple.install();
const FairPlayUtils = shaka.util.FairPlayUtils;
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerRequestFilter(FairPlayUtils.ezdrmFairPlayRequest);
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerResponseFilter(FairPlayUtils.commonFairPlayResponse);
player.configure('drm.initDataTransform',
FairPlayUtils.ezdrmInitDataTransform);
Note: If the url of the license server has to undergo any transformation (eg: add the contentId), you would have to create your filter manually.
player.getNetworkingEngine().registerRequestFilter((type, request, context) => {
if (type != shaka.net.NetworkingEngine.RequestType.LICENSE) {
return;
}
const uri = request.uris[0];
const FairPlayUtils = shaka.util.FairPlayUtils;
const contentId = FairPlayUtils.defaultGetContentId(request.initData);
const newUri = uri.replace('^assetId^', contentId);
request.uris = [newUri];
request.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/octet-stream'
});
Verimatrix (legacy Apple Media Keys)
For integration with Verimatrix the following can be used:
shaka.polyfill.PatchedMediaKeysApple.install();
const FairPlayUtils = shaka.util.FairPlayUtils;
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerRequestFilter(FairPlayUtils.verimatrixFairPlayRequest);
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerResponseFilter(FairPlayUtils.commonFairPlayResponse);
player.configure('drm.initDataTransform',
FairPlayUtils.verimatrixInitDataTransform);
Conax (legacy Apple Media Keys)
For integration with Conax the following can be used:
shaka.polyfill.PatchedMediaKeysApple.install();
const FairPlayUtils = shaka.util.FairPlayUtils;
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerRequestFilter(FairPlayUtils.conaxFairPlayRequest);
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerResponseFilter(FairPlayUtils.commonFairPlayResponse);
player.configure('drm.initDataTransform',
FairPlayUtils.conaxInitDataTransform);
ExpressPlay (legacy Apple Media Keys)
For integration with ExpressPlay the following can be used:
shaka.polyfill.PatchedMediaKeysApple.install();
const FairPlayUtils = shaka.util.FairPlayUtils;
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerRequestFilter(FairPlayUtils.expressplayFairPlayRequest);
player.getNetworkingEngine()
.registerResponseFilter(FairPlayUtils.commonFairPlayResponse);
player.configure('drm.initDataTransform',
FairPlayUtils.expressplayInitDataTransform);
