FairPlay Support

When using native src= playback, we support using FairPlay on Safari. Adding FairPlay support involves a bit more work than other key systems.

Server certificate

All FairPlay content requires setting a server certificate. This is set in the Player configuration:

const req = await fetch('https://example.com/cert.der');
const cert = await req.arrayBuffer();

player.configure('drm.advanced.com\\.apple\\.fps\\.1_0.serverCertificate',
                 new Uint8Array(cert));

Content ID

Some FairPlay content use custom signaling for the content ID. The content ID is used by the browser to generate the license request. If you don't use the default content ID derivation, you need to specify a custom init data transform:

player.configure('drm.initDataTransform', (initData, initDataType) => {
  if (initDataType != 'skd')
    return initData;

  // 'initData' is a buffer containing an 'skd://' URL as a UTF-8 string.
  const skdUri = shaka.util.StringUtils.fromBytesAutoDetect(initData);
  const contentId = getMyContentId(skdUri);
  const cert = player.drmInfo().serverCertificate;
  return shaka.util.FairPlayUtils.initDataTransform(initData, contentId, cert);
});

License wrapping

Some FairPlay servers need to accept the license request in a different format or give the response in a different format. For more info, see the general License Wrapping tutorial:

player.getNetworkingEngine().registerRequestFilter((type, request) => {
  if (type != shaka.net.NetworkingEngine.RequestType.LICENSE) {
    return;
  }

  const originalPayload = new Uint8Array(request.body);
  const base64Payload =
      shaka.util.Uint8ArrayUtils.toStandardBase64(originalPayload);
  const params = 'spc=' + base64Payload;
  request.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded';
  request.body = shaka.util.StringUtils.toUTF8(encodeURIComponent(params));
});

player.getNetworkingEngine().registerResponseFilter((type, response) => {
  if (type != shaka.net.NetworkingEngine.RequestType.LICENSE) {
    return;
  }

  let responseText = shaka.util.StringUtils.fromUTF8(response.data);
  // Trim whitespace.
  responseText = responseText.trim();

  // Look for <ckc> wrapper and remove it.
  if (responseText.substr(0, 5) === '<ckc>' &&
      responseText.substr(-6) === '</ckc>') {
    responseText = responseText.slice(5, -6);
  }

  // Decode the base64-encoded data into the format the browser expects.
  response.data = shaka.util.Uint8ArrayUtils.fromBase64(responseText).buffer;
});
