Wowza DRM Plugin 2.6.0

What’s New

• Support for Huawei WisePlay DRM Packaging

  • Added support for Huawei WisePlay, a standards-based DRM technology widely adopted in China and other markets.

  • The plugin now allows content to be encrypted and packaged with WisePlay-compatible keys and signaling, enabling secure playback on Huawei devices and other WisePlay-compliant players.

  • This enhancement expands multi-DRM support to better address regional compliance and content distribution requirements.

• Support for Clear Key Content Packaging

  • Introduced support for Clear Key (simple AES-128 encryption) packaging, enabling the generation of encrypted content using keys delivered out-of-band or through application-level logic.

  • Useful for scenarios such as testing environments, browser-based playback experiments, or non-commercial use cases where full DRM licensing is not required.

  • The plugin ensures proper signaling in the HLS playlist (EXT-X-KEY) for seamless playback compatibility.
