We've previously introduced DRM support in Nimble Streamer which included Widevine, Playready and FairPlay encryption support for MPEG-DASH and HLS streams in live and DVR mode.
Nimble Streamer now supports DRM for VOD, allowing to encrypt MPEG-DASH and HLS streams generated from VOD files. VOD DRM covers CENC-based encryption for MPEG-DASH and fMP4 HLS.
All encryption is supported for H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC codecs.
When a viewer connects to MPEG-DASH or fMP4 HLS VOD stream within an application protected by the DRM, its output will be encrypted with respective DRM engine.
- For VOD setup please refer to this digest page. Check MPEG-DASH VOD setup and HLS VOD setup articles.
- For DRM setup details visit DRM feature set page.
- If you use FairPlay, you need to use fmp4 container in playlist name, e.g. https://servername/stream/name/playlist_fmp4.m3u8
- You also need to explicitly forbid access to VOD files via progressive download as described in this article.
