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>"
        },
