  • Introduced WSB_RevocationState_Get API supported only in ExpressPlay CA device.
  • Enhanced Ecm Decrypter module to handle XPCA Broadcast Delivery spec.
  • Added support for BBTS 1.x version has been removed.
  • Bug Fixes :
    • – #WAS-874 PlaylistProxy response should not include #EXT-X-ENDLIST in the master playlist
    • – #2268: FairPlay : No Audio/Video synchronization while playing ‘Single Fragmented MP4’ with ac3 audio codec only on iPhon6s(10.1.1)
    • – #2272: PlaylistProxy(DASH To Demuxed HLS): Unable to Play DASH Audio only content on all PlaylistProxy platforms(Android, iOS, MAC, Windows)
    • – #2284: PlaylistProxy(DASH To Demuxed HLS): Playback stops abruptly while playing “Dash_MultipleAudioTrack_CBCS” content on iOS devices
    • – #2310: Cannot stream Demuxed hls playlist on Chromecast device

2. Known Issues

  • Wasabi build is not supported with Android NDK r5b version.
  • #1215: Landscape view of Loop Player is showing player as in portrait
    view in iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (iOS6). After the content played without
    seek first time fully in landscape view, the player starts playing in
    portrait view even though the device is in landscape view for the second
    time. This is a limitation of the sample player.
  • Audio bitrate changes might cause small temporary freezes in the
    rendering pipeline for the desktop platforms.
  • Bento4 does not implement Fragmented Sample Table seek operations
    completely, and produced HLS TS fragments may have grossly audio and
    video non-interleaved fragments that the Android HLS media stack does not
    handle gracefully.
  • #1567: SamplePlayer: On desktop, the playback freezes for a second after 2-3 seconds.
    of the start of the playback for few of the test HLS static contents.
  • #1581: Playing Live DASH can get player and server out of sync after
    about 1h30m of playing. It is recommended the player implement some
    server time sync mechanism.
  • #1656 – On Windows, Wasabi does not accept “file:///c:/” as file URL in
    personalization token. Use “file://c:/” instead.
  • #1820: LoopPlayer: Application controls are not visible in landscape view
    in iOS8
  • #2117: iOS: Green patch occurs during video playback when playlistProxy started with
    WSB_PP_FLAG_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_CLIENT flag for “w0011fa3h02.p229.mlv” large PDCF content. Without this Flag, no issues.
  • Unplugging USB headset during content playback causes the minor delay in video in Windows
    Platform. The cause was traced down to an issue in the Microsoft API which returns bogus position
    occasionally and caused wrong computation of the CTS (Composition Time Stamp) for audio and video
    presentation.
  • #2145: MS3 HTTP header version in Client is not correct, it is 1.0 instead of 1.2.
  • #2161: WasabiAospPlayer: Unable to play local fragmented mp4 content present in /data/local/tmp.
    SELinux in AOSP potentially needs adjustment based on the android version.
  • #2168: DASH FairPlay: Unable to play the proxy response of Multi CID DASH contents on FairPlay application when
    proxy started with “-fairplay-encrypted-hls”
  • #2226: Multi DRM: Unable to play Encrypted segments of Fast Start content with iOS FairPlay application only on iOS 11 beta and iOS 10.3.3
  • #2267: iOS FairPlay : Playback stops in the middle and application(FPS_Sample_Client) pops up with
    “Cannot Complete Action” error only on iPhone 6s(10.1.1) when playing Single Fragmented MP4 content
    with ac3 audio codec type.
  • #2260: JNI: WSB_MediaType doesn’t implement “SUBTITLE” type in JNI layer similar to “WSB_MEDIA_TYPE_SUBTITLE” type in C level
  • #2295: JNI: MediaFile returns null value for Track info when Dash clear content and also a mixture of tracks where some are clear and
    some are encrypted is given as input
  • WAS-897: ExpressPlayer application shows blank screen from iOS 11.1 or greater version.
  • WAS-977: Wasabi build fails with gcc 8.1
  • WAS-984: A Subtle issue with -program-number command line switch in TS2 and few Wasabi programs where the program number of “1” is handled as a special value that indicates the first program in PAT.
  • Demux HLS playlist from playlist proxy known to cause playback issues of few contents only in NU Player but those seems to play fine with latest exoplayer.

3. Notes:

  • ExpressPlaySDK 1.16 or later for iOS supports “bitcode” feature introduced in iOS 9 and later. And hence it is mandatory to build iOS app with ExpressPlaySDK 1.16 or later using Xcode7 or later. Bitcode is enabled by default in Xcode7. To disable, go to Project Settings -> Build Settings -> Build Options and change “Enable Bitcode” to No.
  • A new iOS9 feature disallows clear HTTP transfers by default. To work
    around this, an application using Playlist Proxy needs to add an App
    Transport Security exception to the application’s Info.plist file. The
    exception could be specific to a domain, or could be an overall exception
    for any HTTP access in case application accesses many media contents over
    HTTP.
  • Support for MIPS 64-bit architecture android library is only available in
    evaluation SDK package.
  • In AOSP, our testing has been limited to AOSP-O version and that there might be problems on specific devices.
  • ExpressPlaySDK for MAC Proxy can be compiled using libc++ compiler.
  • Updated Readme-iOS.txt regarding new App Transport Security exception for iOS 10 and backward compatibility.
  • Starting from 1.19.0 release, building ExpressPlayExample requires iOS 8 SDK or above since it is now using AVKit framework which is supported from iOS 8 version onwards.
  • When integrating the source SDK with a 3rd party provided implementation of SKB, please note that:
    • – The SKB (Secure Key Box) API has been changed from 1.0 to 1.1.
    • – New SKB 1.1 interface is backwards compatible with 1.0, at source level (alternate SKB implementation requires recompilation with the new SkbSecureKeyBox.h v1.1 header), except for requiring two new functions to be provided by the SKB implementation: SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal
    • – As the simplest upgrade from SKB 1.0 to SKB 1.1, a proprietary SKB implementation can provide the two new functions as stubs that return SKB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. The downside to not implementing the full functionality in these new functions is that the client will not be able to negotiate any GCM based TLS cipher suite
    • – The complete implementation of the new SKB APIs is included in the Sockeye source SDK provided separately.
    • – The SKB HMAC transform must support more than 14 bytes (e.g. 20 bytes) long HMAC key (this has not been the case with Sockeye 1.0 and Sockeye 1.0-hkp2; the change is included in the new Sockeye SDKs).
    • – TThe complete set of SKB 1.1 functionality needed to support Wasabi Client includes the SKB 1.0 functionality plus support for AES-128-GCM cipher, HMAC-SHA256 transform and the two new SKB functions SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal

10/05/2017: Wasabi And ExpressPlay SDK 1.21.0

 

Contents:

  1. Changes since the last release 1.20.0
  2. Known Issues
  3. Notes

Changes since the last release 1.20.0

  • Added support for DASH profile ‘urn:mpeg:dash:profile:isoff-on-demand:2011’.
  • Added support in iOS/Android to download/create a single media file from a DASH single period manifest with on-demand profile, as well as from a static representation with live profile. The latter is supported for content packaged with Bento4 tools.
  • Added a new Wasabi Multi-DRM API (WSB_MediaAdapter_* APIs) in iOS/Android, which accepts the new ExpressPlay Universal License Token and a DASH streaming manifest.
    • The new API enables the app to use either Native or Marlin DRM.
    • Both DRMs can also be used with Marlin as fallback if the Native DRM is not available for content decryption.
      1. In the case of iOS, the selection of Native DRM results in the use of Marlin to transform of the DASH media to HLS/SAMPLE-AES/TS2/AppleSpec media and the Universal Token is used to acquire a FairPlay license.
      2. In the case of Android, Marlin may be requested as an alternate to Widevine if it is not available.
  • Enhanced the MediaFile API implementation to extract representation IDs from the DASH manifest. In addition, the semantic of track count for DASH has changed from # of AdaptationSet to # of Representation.
  • Enhanced AOSP implementation to play H265 content via Nuplayer.
  • Re-enabled support for “WASABI_PROPERTY_KEY_SPACE” runtime property.
  • PlaylistProxy Enhancements:
    • – Added support for Subtitles in Playlist Proxy when playing back m4f and PDCF content.
    • – Enhanced Playlist Proxy to not filter out HD representations for DASH and fragmented m4f content when transforming input to FairPlay protected content via the new MediaAdapter API or a new PlaylistProxy flag.
    • – Improved Bandwidth computation for Fragmented mp4 and PDCF contents.
  • ExpressPlay SDK related changes:
    • – Added ExpressPlayDownloadExampleBB sample application to illustrate the use of the MediaDownload feature on Android and iOS platforms.
    • – Added the ExpressPlayMediaAdapterExample sample application to illustrate the use of the MediaAdapter multidrm api feature on Android and iOS platforms.
    • – Added ExpressPlayExampleSwift sample application in iOS.
  • Bug Fixes :
    • – #2134: TLS: TLSTest crashes while processing server_certificate with a very large RSA key.
    • – #2179: PlaylistProxy: Unable to do track selection for fragmented mp4 content with multi-audio tracks encrypted with the CBCS method.
    • – #2183: WSB_Runtime_ProcessServiceToken only save the last license if the token includes multiple License Acquisition directives.
    • – Fixed various crashes reported by the American Fuzzy Lop tool for major public APIs.

    portrait view even though the device is in landscape view for the second
    time. This is a limitation of the sample player.
  • Audio bitrate changes might cause small temporary freezes in the
    rendering pipeline for the desktop platforms.
  • Bento4 does not implement Fragmented Sample Table seek operations
    completely, and produced HLS TS fragments may have grossly audio and
    video non-interleaved fragments that the Android HLS media stack does not
    handle gracefully.
  • #1567: SamplePlayer: On desktop, the playback freezes for a second after 2-3 seconds
    of the start of the playback for few of the test HLS static contents.
  • #1581: Playing Live DASH can get player and server out of sync after
    about 1h30m of playing. It is recommended the player implement some
    server time sync mechanism.
  • #1656 – On Windows, Wasabi does not accept “file:///c:/” as file URL in
    personalization token. Use “file://c:/” instead.
  • #1820: LoopPlayer: Application controls are not visible in landscape view
    in iOS8
  • #2117: iOS: Green patch occurs during video playback when playlistProxy started with
    WSB_PP_FLAG_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_CLIENT flag for “w0011fa3h02.p229.mlv” large PDCF content. Without this
    Flag, no issues.
  • Unplugging USB headset during content playback causes the minor delay in video in Windows
    Platform. The cause was traced down to an issue in the Microsoft API which returns bogus position
    occasionally and caused wrong computation of the CTS (Composition Time Stamp) for audio and video
    presentation.
  • #2145: MS3 HTTP header version in Client is not correct, it is 1.0 instead of 1.2
  • #2161: WasabiAospPlayer: Unable to play local fragmented mp4 content present in /data/local/tmp. SELinux in AOSP potentially needs adjustment based on the android version.
  • #2179: PlaylistProxy: Unable to do track selection for fragmented mp4 content with multi-audio tracks encrypted with CBCS method.

3. Notes:

  • ExpressPlaySDK 1.16 or later for iOS supports the “bitcode” feature introduced in iOS9. When building ExpressPlay 1.16 or later on iOS, it is now mandatory to use Xcode7 or later. Bitcode is enabled by default in Xcode7. To disable, go to Project Settings -> Build Settings -> Build Options and change “Enable Bitcode” to No
  • A new iOS9 feature disallows clear HTTP transfers by default. To work
    around this, an application using Playlist Proxy needs to add an App
    Transport Security exception to the application’s Info.plist file. The
    exception could be specific to a domain, or could be an overall exception
    for any HTTP access in case application accesses many media contents over HTTP
  • Support for MIPS 64-bit architecture android library is only available in
    evaluation SDK package
  • In AOSP, our testing has been limited to AOSP-M version and that there might be problems on specific devices
  • ExpressPlaySDK for MAC Proxy can be compiled using libc++ compiler
  • Updated Readme-iOS.txt regarding new App Transport Security exception for iOS 10 and backward compatibility
  • Starting from 1.19.0 release, building ExpressPlayExample requires iOS 8 SDK or above since it is now using AVKit framework which is supported from iOS 8 version onwards.
  • When integrating the source SDK with a 3rd party provided implementation of SKB, please note:
    • – The SKB (Secure Key Box) API has been changed from 1.0 to 1.1
    • – New SKB 1.1 interface is backwards compatible with 1.0, at source level (alternate SKB implementation requires recompilation with the new SkbSecureKeyBox.h v1.1 header), except for requiring two new functions to be provided by the SKB implementation: SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal
    • – As the simplest upgrade from SKB 1.0 to SKB 1.1, a proprietary SKB implementation can provide the two new functions as stubs that return SKB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. The downside to not implementing the full functionality in these new functions is that the client will not be able to negotiate any GCM based TLS cipher suite
    • – The complete implementation of the new SKB APIs is included in the Sockeye source SDK provided separately
    • – The SKB HMAC transform must support more than 14 bytes (e.g. 20 bytes) long HMAC key (this has not been the case with Sockeye 1.0 and Sockeye 1.0-hkp2; the change is included in the new Sockeye SDKs)
    • – The complete set of SKB 1.1 functionality needed to support Wasabi Client includes the SKB 1.0 functionality plus support for AES-128-GCM cipher, HMAC-SHA256 transform and the two new SKB functions SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal

3. Notes:

  • A new iOS9 (beta) feature disallows clear HTTP transfers by default. To work around this, an application using Playlist Proxy needs to add an App Transport Security exception to the application’s Info.plist file. The exception could be specific to a domain, or could be an overall exception for any HTTP access in case application accesses many media contents over HTTP.
  • A new XCode7 (beta) feature adds BITCODE_ENABLED build setting, set to YES by default. When building for device with bitcode enabled, the Deployment Target must be set to iOS6 or higher. Note also that the ExpressPlay framework does not include bitcode at this time.

1. Changes since the last release

    • ExpressPlay Related Changes:
      • – ExpressPlay test package includes support for building app for Debug simultor version
    • DASH Related Changes
      • – Added Support for timestamps that have discontinuities at Dash period boundaries for Windows and Mac
      • – Added support for availabilityEndTime
    • PlaylistProxy related changes:
      • – Added support for non-mulitplexed multi-audio channels in HLS playlistproxy
      • – Added support for WebVTT subtitles (non-processed HLS playlist lines) in HLS palylistproxy for iOS platform
      • – Added support for fragmented mp4 playback in Playlist Proxy
    • Other Changes
      • – SDK Documents which were present in previous release of the source SDK have been moved to http://www.expressplay.com
      • – Add wasabi runtime convenience method for processing BB tokens
      • – IMPORTANT: the default filenames for the sushi db and license store have changed. In order to upgrade from a previous version of the ExpressPlay SDK, the previous version’s path name must be used in the initialization of the SDK. Refer to bug#1542 below. Starting with v1.7, the file names are defined like so:
      • – db0[.].storage
      • – LicenseStore[.].db

        Where DBParamName can be provided when calling WSB_Runtime_InitializeEx(). It is recommended that a production deployment configure the parameter to be specific to the company doing the deployment (to avoid ambiguity and conflicts on the desktop platforms). Similarly, since v1.6 of the SDK provided a default value that is no longer provided, the parameter used in the 1.6 deployment must be used to enable a smooth upgrade.

8/17/2012: Wasabi Express 1.4

 

Contents:

  1. About
  2. Notes & Known Issues


1. About

  • Wasabi Express is a binary version of the Wasabi Source SDK of the same release version, compiled on iOS, android, Windows and Mac OSX. The functionality of the Express SDK is equivalent to that of the Wasabi Source SDK on these platforms. For details, please consult the Wasabi Express Media Player Developers Guide in the Documents folder.

2. Notes & Known Issues

  • Cleanup
    • Wasabi Express compiled binaries may not work on your device if you have already personalized an instance of the sdk on your device. Please delete db0.storage using the WasabiDBWiper utility found in BIN//
  • Downscaling
    • On Mac OSX and Windows, the player engine will attempt to downscale the video to the maximum size allowed (520K). The CPU necessary for the downscaling may tax certain devices to the point where the user experience is less than desirable. It is best for media to adhere to the output size restrictions.
  • iOS Finalization
    • The reference to finalization in section 5.2 is incorrect. For information on finalization, please refer to the LoopPlayer’s Xcode project. A build phase called “TR Finalize” invokes the necessary script to finalize the application. It is best to use keep the invocation and relative directory paths of files necessary for this phase identical to those in the LoopPlayer project. Note that the 2 files at the root of the SDK (wasabi-ios.nwdb, wasabi-ios.nwproj) are required for this step and must be kept in this location relative to the Wasabi-BIN-* folder.

  1. Changes from the last release 1.0
  2. Known Issues


1. Changes from the last Release 1.0

  • Higher Level Error Codes
    • A new set of higher level error codes enable the caller to better determine the reason for a failure, be this at MS3 token processing, DRM action token processing, or DRM license evaluation. These new codes are documented (for now) in the following .h files:
      • – Source/Config/Validator/WsbConfigActionResultValidator.h
      • – Source/Interface/Extended/WsbPlaybackEnabler.h
      • – Source/Interface/Extended/WsbActionResultInfo.h
      • – Source/Interface/Core/WsbRightsEnabler.h
    • Error codes returned during service access are fairly straightforward. However, to understand how to use the API and the error codes in order to provide users with meaningful information, we recommend to have a look at the sample code provided in: Source/Examples/WasabiEcmDecrypter/WasabiEcmDecrypter.cpp
  • New processing_result field in WSB_RightsEnabler_LicenseEvent
    • This new field allows a listener to be informed when a license could not be processed by the rights enabler in its search for a valid license (during the EnableMediaFile call).
  • Function signature change for WSB_Config_ValidateActionResult
    • The new signature now needs the parameters that were used to create the Action using SHI_License_CreateAction:
      • – A boolean stating whether the result should be validated as a result of a Check or a Perform.
      • – A character string indicating the name of the Action.
      • – some optional Action parameters

2. Known Issues that did not make the release cutoff

  • Incomplete API Documentation: due to time, the documentation of these error codes did not make it into the PDF documentation
  • Ticket #268
    • – It is currently possible to call SHI_EnginePersonalize from multiple threads (using different SHI_Engine instances) and corrupt the personality stored in the sushi db.
    • – Workaround: ensure sushi personalization is only done from a single thread
  • Ticket #259
    • – On Windows Vista and 7 platforms, it is possible that the sushi db location created during personalization not be accessible by a sushi application, when the application has different user privileges from the process that performed personalization. For instance:
      • * personalize using any appropriate programs with “admin” privilege
      • * perform any operation that writes to the Sushi Db using any appropriate programs with “user” privilege. Notice one Sushi Db in C:ProgramData?Wasabi and another one in
        C:UsersfooAppData?LocalVirtualStore?Wasabi (where foo is the corresponding user name)
    • – Workaround: If personalization is expected to be performed via a process with privileges different from those that the application may have, create the sushi db location prior to personalizing and ensure the folder has the necessary permission so the application can access it.

10/31/2010: Wasabi 1.0

  1. Changes from the last Prerelease


1. Changes from the last Prerelease

  • Enhanced Code coverage and numerous bug fixes.
  • New API:
    • – Several Modules have been added to the “embedded” API list. Thes are:
      • * WSB_ActionResultConstraint Class
      • * WSB_ActionResultInfo Class
      • * WSB_Ms3Client Class
      • * WSB_Ms3Sas Class
      • Please consult the documentation for further info.
    • – New JNI Interfaces (ContentProxy, LicenseStore, License
  • Various updates to Sushi Config (refer to the Sushi Deployment Guide)
  • Externalized SKB and support for linking with 3rd party SKB implementations
  • Changes to the SKB exported key format (affects generic implementation only but requires re-personalization of clients)
  • Various enhancements to ContentProxy (support for progressively downloaded media)
  • Internal Enhancements to use WSB_PlaybackEnabler wherever appropriate
  • Personalization protocol update to support OAEP padding of key encryption key instead of PKCS1.5 only
  • A number of fixes to the TLS implementation to handle a greater number of certificate formats
  • Audio Driver output support on linux
  • Ability to explicitly select a track (desktop and JNI interfaces)
  • Support for Stream Access Descriptors in addition to Compound URI
  • Improved Obligation and Callback handling (including in DBUS Server)
  • Reworked RightsEnabler to enable processing of further licenses than the license selected by default

9/30/2010: Prerelease

 

As previously announced, the main items in this release are:

  • – a lot of code cleanup and bug fixes
  • – proxy support for HTTPS connections made using the wasabi client (previously only HTTP connections were supported)
  • – configuration code cleanup (to support configuration with certificates/keys other than the defaults)
  • – a new TS encryption tool aware of adaptive bit rate content
  • – documentation updates

In addition, the sdk sources are now delivered in 2 packages:

  • – an “eval” package, that is identical in content to the previous drops (and builds on Win/Mac/Linux and Linux-like)
  • – a “release” package, (for Linux-like platforms only) that produces a build of the “supported” modules/interfaces only. There are many sample, experimental, and other such illustrative code in the “eval” package, not intended to be part of the final wasabi product. These un-supported items are removed from the build output in the release package. That and the version number is the only difference between “eval” and “release”.

Known Issues:

  • – (too) late in testing we found that flags/obligations from the MS3 SAS responses are not properly handled by the client. We will be ready to issue a patch shortly, should it be needed.

08/31/2010: Prerelease

 

This is a significant update to the 7/30 release, with the following enhancements:

  • – the DRM engine has been upgraded to use the SKB 1.0 interface.
  • – note that it will be necessary to remove any old sushi db0.storage and license store file
  • – the SKB 1.0 interface is complete and final. A limitations of 1.0 is that cloaking of secrets received over a TLS channel is not supported. Until a 1.x release, secrets transmitted over TLS (eg. MS3 SAS-delivered content keys) are handled by the caller of the interface
  • – Extended License Store APIs to support recently defined Canvas use cases
  • – HTTP proxy support for all HTTP (not yet HTTPS) calls.
  • – Removed symbols from libWasabi.so that do not need to be visible externally
  • – MS3 TLS cleanup. The drm client now uses one single TLS implementation throughout, and validates the server certificates, and presents its nemo certificate for authentication to the service.
  • – As a result the MS3 server must have access to the MTMO trust anchor. ms3-test.intertrust.com<http://ms3-test.intertrust.com/> has this certificate and will work with the ms3 client of the sdk.
  • – the ms3-test.intertrust.com:8000 service (and associated MS3 SAS server) have been updated and the previous release’s clients will no longer be able to connect successfully. And the previously distributed Ms3SampleServer is now unable to service the new Ms3 clients.
  • – To support the SKB implementation, a new version of Intertrust’s on-line personalization protocol has been implemented and is deployed for drm client personalization. The support for the so-called “Bluewhale personalization” protocol has been deprecated and is no longer available.
  • – The ECMDecryptor API previously released as a patch have been incorporated
  • – A new implementation of the DBUS server, incorporating code cleanup and functional modifications due to an update to the Canvas specification

Missing from the release, and expected to be completed by the 9/30 (code complete) release:

  • – HTTPS proxy support and internal rework of HTTP proxy support
  • – documentation synchronization with latest code
  • – some memory leaks cleanups
  • – Code cleanup so that all sdk functions use SKB wrapped keys and SKB algorithms (instead of clear keys only and crypto algorithms sometimes external to SKB) This could not be completed in time for the release but does not affect any application calling the sdk interfaces
  • – Sushi configuration functionality needs to be updated to support configurations other than the default/test key based configuration included in the SDK. This is not an issue as long as test keys are used.

07/30/2010: Prerelease

 

This release includes alpha level implementations of:

  • – client processing of MS3 triggers (compound URI only)
  • – MS3 apache server module A brief introduction to MS3 is provided in a white paper. The release also includes sample MS3 client and MS3 server executables.Please consult the Readme for directions to build and verify the functionality. We are also hosting a test MS3 server at Intertrust, at http://ms3-test.intertrust.com:8000, to be used as described in the MS3 readme included in the release. We expect to update this release on or before the end of August with:
  • – a different TLS implementation for the MS3 client functionality (this alpha version uses fixed client certificates, not the expected marlin client’s nemo certificate, and it does not validate theserver certificate)
  • – bug fixes as needed for a beta level implementation.
