JWP Android SDK (JW Platform)

JWP provides a simplified approach to protecting your content with industry-standard Digital Rights Management (DRM). By enabling DRM on a property from your JWP dashboard, you allow JWP to manage the complexities of digital rights on your behalf:

• Several configured DRM Policies
• DRM license generation and management for Widevine
• License delivery services for content playback on any device

With JWP managing the technical aspects of DRM, you can focus on the design and implementation of engaging content experiences. For more information about the DRM workflow, please refer to the High-Level Workflow Overview.

For the following use cases, use Studio DRM Standalone with your current streaming and hosting solution:

• Choosing not to enable Studio DRM with JW Platform

Set up DRM playback

Use the following steps to set up DRM playback in your Android app:

1. Generate a signed URL for DRM playback.
2. Pass the signed URL directly into the PlayerConfig.Builder() with the .playlistUrl.
   Java

   PlayerConfig config = new PlayerConfig.Builder()
       .playlistUrl(SINGLE_ITEM_PLAYLIST_SIGNED_URL)
       .build();
   mPlayer.setup(config);
