In order to support new content formats & preview thumbnails, we needed access to the original VoD content masters; however, we only had access to encrypted, and fragmented, Microsoft Smooth Streaming content. We developed a custom tool, based on the Dash.js codebase, to recompose and decrypt the MSS content; then, we built the new content processing pipelines based on AWS technologies, PlayReady DRM encryption, and ffmpeg, and we implemented front-end support for the technology. In this talk, we'll discuss the challenges of this approach, and what we learned along the way.
