PlayReady for offline content protection in Azure Media Services

Question

I want to protect my uploaded content after it is downloaded. This link provides some pointers about doing that. The link refers to using a .ismv file for this. But as far as I know, the Media Encoder used to encode MP4 to Smooth Streaming is deprecated.

How to generate smooth streaming files given an MP4 file using Azure Media Services ? Also, since it only supports PlayReady, how to play it on other browsers which don't support PlayReady ?

Answer 1

See the documentation links below for information on offline DRM in Azure Media Services. These cover offline HLS and offline MPEG-DASH. The Smooth static encryptor has been deprecated in favor of using dynamic encryption.
