DRM

These samples demonstrate playback of Widevine Modular DRM-protected content. Widevine support is built into the Brightcove SDK, so no additional plugin is required.

Requirements

• Platform: Android phone and tablet.
• Minimum OS: Android 5.0 (API 21).
• Toolchain: Android Studio, JDK 17, Gradle 8.13.
• Extra SDKs: none — Widevine is handled by the SDK.

Setup

Each sample plays a Widevine-protected asset and license acquisition is handled by the SDK. WidevineModularSampleApp uses the shared Brightcove demo account (5420904993001). HdcpFallbackSampleApp needs an account enabled for Fallback HDCP, so that the renditions carry a separate DRM key per tier, and points at one (6415550737001).
