AVFoundation -- Authorization for Playback of Protected Content?


  • Subject: AVFoundation -- Authorization for Playback of Protected Content?
  • From: Brad Gibbs <email@hidden>

There's a note in AV Foundation Release Notes for iOS 4.3 that reads:

Note that the value of each of these properties is YES even if the associated operation is only conditionally supported. Examples:
playable is YES even if the asset has protected content and requires authorization of both the application and the content for playback. You can determine whether an asset has protected content via hasProtectedContent (AVAsset).
I can't find anything more on the "requires authorization of both the application and the content for playback" part.

Is this saying that an authorized app, such as iTunes or QuickTime is required to play protected content?  Or, is there some way for me to authorize my own AV Foundation-based app and protected content and then play it back in an AVPlayer?


Thanks.

Brad
