Hi dear,

I am trying to play an HLS Akamai streaming wich has implemented Media Encryption (AES 128) but it is not working on JW Player 6 Premium.
You can find out the samples below:

*Using https in the URL as Apple requirement

The same occurs for HDS, see samples below:

I have done other tests and seems me that the issue is with JW Player 6, because in JW Player 5 is working fine.
See these samples:

JW Player 5 - HDS + Media Encryption (it works)

Could you help me to discover why Media Encryption does not work in JW 6?
