Out of curiosity, is there any reusable alternative for Google's Widevine module? It seems both Chromium and Firefox use this, and all other open source browsers are based on them. Safari and Internet Explorer DRM would be tied to specific platforms and also not reusable, I'm guessing?
How (re)usable is Adobe's Primetime DRM for something like this? Primetime was removed from Firefox in version 52 (pre-Quantum) in early 2017 [1]. Are there any others?

- smaddock 8y agoThere might be potential for Microsoft's PlayReady DRM with their move to a Chromium-based browser. I contacted them while waiting to hear back from Widevine and got this response. > For Windows Electron/Chromium will not work with PlayReady at this time. I have provided your feedback to the engineering team for future planning. Currently PlayReady can be integrated in a PWA/(Windows Store HTML/JS app) and there would be no royalties on Windows.
