No, mplayer doesn't support the needed DRM systems afaik.

by slederer 10y ago
don't know if we talk about the same. DRM (Digital Right Management) is just the overall term, there are different systems out there (Widevine Modular, Playready, Fairplay, Primetime, etc.), which are used e.g. by Netflix. So, why do y

by slederer 10y ago
there are of the shelf players supporting the EME (see above), thus you can just use one of them. It makes actually sense to seperate the player from the decoding (MSE), as the browser manufacturers might not be able to provide a good imple

hopefully not :-) the difference between Flash-like plugins and the EME is that the EME is directly build into the browser, with a narrow and focussed use case. This limits als the vulnerability, in contrast to a lot more powerful plugin-sy

the EME is widely used by services like Netflix, Hulu, etc., and it's now the first time that DRM is not a pain for developers. So I think the EME helps to simplify a huge problem (=DRM), and make it manageable for the people to use it

I tried to give an overview on the technical details of the HTML5 MSE/EME, which is used e.g. by Netflix and Youtube. If you are interested in any details, just post it here, happy to answer.

No, iPhone is not supported yet. but we are working on it and will have the support added shortly. We just have to use HLS instead of MPEG-DASH for the streaming, as Safari on iOS does not implement the HTML5 MSE.

Thanks! We are working on the iOS support, this will be added soon. It's pretty simple, we just have to use HLS instead of DASH, as Safari on iOS does not support the HTML5 MSE.

With this you can host your own 360° videos, and don't need YouTube. This is in particular interesting if you want to monetize by your own, e.g., through ads or subscription. It's basically the infrastructure you need to build Net

Agree, there is definitely a long way down the road to get to more realistic VR experience for video, especially for streaming. That's currently a starting point. Have you seen that you can change the rendering modes of the player to a

Nice insights! Interesting fact on your approach: at bitmovin we do exactly that, we've our bitcodin.com encoding service and our bitdash players (www.dash-player.com), which can plug into any cloud storage, CDN, wtc., we've quite

We don't see multicast any more, in OTT streaming formats such as DASH or HLS use cheap and scalable HTTP infrastructure and HTTP caches, which can be seen as application layer multicast
