Live DRM integration
Integrate DRM-X 6.0 Live DRM with CPIX or SPEKE packaging, rotating crypto periods, synchronized manifests, renewable authorization, and multi-platform testing.
Provision the channel#
- Create the live content identity and enabled DRM systems.
- Configure compatible CPIX or SPEKE key exchange with bounded authentication.
- Set the protected DASH and HLS delivery destinations.
- Choose the server-owned live license policy, renewal window, quality, and output controls.
- Qualify a complete rehearsal before selling or opening access.
Rotate without creating an unavailable KID#
The packager, manifest, and every required DRM provider must agree on the current and retained key periods. Do not publish a new KID until each selected provider can resolve the matching key. Retain enough prior periods for late join, latency, and controlled recovery.
Create the viewer session#
Request contentType: live after your backend approves the viewer. Return the registered live manifest, license details, renewal behavior, and release lifecycle with Cache-Control: no-store. Use a fresh session ID for each viewing attempt.
Pre-event acceptance matrix#
| Scenario | Required result |
|---|---|
| Late join during rotation | Manifest KID resolves and playback begins within the target start time. |
| Encoder restart | Channel recovers without key disclosure or clear fallback. |
| License renewal | Authorized viewer continues; expired entitlement fails closed. |
| Provider or network failure | Bounded retry/failover preserves policy and avoids duplicate billing. |
| Viewer stops | Concurrent reservation is released promptly. |
