If you plan to use Chromecast to cast content that has DRM content protection enabled, a <a href="/platform/reference/studio-drm-standalone-chromecast" target="_blank">custom receiver</a> must be used.

<br />

Use the following steps to generate a signed content URL for DRM playback:

  1. <a name="media_id"></a>Retrieve the JW Player content URL. JW Player content URLs have the following format: `https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/{media_id}`.

    ApproachNotes
    **API**Use the following steps to retrieve the `media_id` for the URL:<br /><br />• Make a <a href="/platform/reference/get_v2-sites-site-id-media" target="_blank">GET v2/sites/{sites_id}/media/</a> call.<br />• Locate the key for a content item in the API response.
    **Dashboard**Use the following step to retrieve the media_id for the URL:<br /><br />From your <a href="https://dashboard.jwplayer.com/p/media" target="_blank">JW Player dashboard Media Library</a>, copy the media ID from the **MEDIA ID** column.

<br />

  1. <a name="policy_id"></a>Retrieve the JW DRM policy ID: a. From the <a href="https://dashboard.jwplayer.com/#/account/properties" target="_blank">Properties page</a>, click the property name **> Content Protections**. b. In the **Digital Rights Management** section, copy the DRM policy ID from the **DRM Policies** table.

    

    Read <a href="/platform/docs/protection-studio-drm-with-jw-platform-policy-reference" target="_blank">Studio DRM with JW Platform Policy Reference</a> to learn more about the DRM Policies.

<br />

  1. Append the DRM Policy ID to the content URL.

    
<br />
  1. Sign the content URL by appending a <a href="https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/protect-your-content-with-signed-urls#section-create-a-signed-jwt-url" target="_blank">JWT signature</a>. **We strongly recommend using a proxy service to generate JSON web tokens (JWTs).** If you generate JWTs within client-side JavaScript or a native app, you risk exposing your API secret.
    
<br />
  1. Pass the content URL to a <a href="/platform/docs/protection-studio-drm-integrations">player or implementation</a>.
