Widevine plugin integration with JWPlayer
I've been tasked with integrating the JWPlayer into our web site to stream video to our customers. We are using Widevine for our DRM solution to protect all content and we'd like to replace the Widevine sample player.swf with the JWPlayer. I'm not sure where to even start with this. I do know that our encrypted movie plays perfectly when using the Widevine sample flash player. When I try to use the JWPlayer .swf file, the player loads on the screen but doesn't do anything.
Here is a small snippet from the Widevine integration docs which leads me to believe I will need to write a JWPlayer plugin, using ActionScript to make the integration work.
From the Widevine docs:
"As noted above, the Widevine VSC for the PC and Macintosh are browser plugins. They integrate into a Flash player via the addition of a small amount of ActionScript in the .fla that will be used to delivery video on the e-portal.
The Widevine plugin accepts an RTMP connection from the Flash player as well as makes an HTTP connection to the content server to request the video. The content is sent to the flash player over the RTMP connection."
If anyone can lead me in the right direction on how to achieve this integration, that would be excellent.
Thanks so much.
