Brightcove video player not playing DRM enabled videos in Android

Question

I am trying to play videos(DRM enalbed) in brightcove video player. What I did so far is. also I have extend the class with BrightcovePlayer

    // Get the event emitter from the SDK
    EventEmitter eventEmitter = brightcoveVideoView.getEventEmitter();
    // Create a catalog request to fetch a video
    String account = getString(R.string.account);
    Catalog catalog = new Catalog.Builder(eventEmitter, account)
            .setBaseURL(Catalog.DEFAULT_EDGE_BASE_URL)
            .setPolicy(getString(R.string.policy))
            .build();

    // Get the video by ID
    catalog.findVideoByID(getString(R.string.videoId), new VideoListener() {

        @Override
        public void onVideo(Video video) {
            // Add video to the view
            brightcoveVideoView.add(video);
            // Start video playback
            brightcoveVideoView.start();
        }
    });

XML layout is

 <com.brightcove.player.view.BrightcoveExoPlayerVideoView
        android:id="@+id/brightcove_video_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="280dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|top"/>

This is just showing video controls only not playing the videos

Answer 1

Brightcove recommend using ExoPlayer for Widevine DRM protected content - on Android you will most likely be using Widevine DRM as it is the native DRM for Android.

To view Widevine Modular content, you need to use the ExoPlayer video view
