Playback on PlayStation 5

[Beraliv]

Hey!

Have you read the FAQ and checked for duplicate open issues?

Yes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently I'm testing shaka-player on PS5 and I see SHAKA_PLAYER_LICENSE_RESPONSE_REJECTED which probably happens because PS5 doesn't implement MediaCapabilities.decodingInfo which shaka tries to use and fails at some point (it's also discussed here – #2179 (comment))

I checked several streams on https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/demo, none of them were working for me

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to use shaka-player on PS5

PS5 supports:

• DASH manifests
• PS5 supports playready DRM

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are several alternatives: hls.js, native API, maybe something else (I didn't dive it too much)

Additional context

Shaka works fine on PS5.

We've had a similar problem and it turned out to be due to PS5 PlayReady implementation rejecting licenses from one of our DRM servers when Shaka is set to use temporary licenses.

This fixed the problem for us:

	drm: {
		advanced: {
			'com.microsoft.playready': {
					distinctiveIdentifierRequired: true,
					sessionType: 'persistent-license',
			},
		},
	},

Ah, okay, I used distinctiveIdentifierRequired, but not sessionType

Let me try it tomorrow

@MilosRasic I checked it and seems it's still not working for us

I will have a detailed debugging session on Tuesday, so will leave comments here (as also probably ask for more details from Sony side if needed)

@MilosRasic Based on what Sony wrote last year, probably that's not enough to make it working

First, we checked it for [email protected] but it wasn't working because of MediaCapabilities.decodingInfo which is incorrectly polyfilled.

Then we switched to [email protected]. We activated all logs and looks like everything's fine until Updating session where it throws the error Shaka Error DRM.LICENSE_RESPONSE_REJECTED with or without distinctiveIdentifierRequired and sessionType

We checked EME request and response and it looks valid from our perspective (as least it's not different from other platforms where we also use DASH + Playready)

First, we checked it for [email protected] but it wasn't working because of MediaCapabilities.decodingInfo which is incorrectly polyfilled.

On PS5 I noticed that issue as well and it is same both with 3.2.0 and 3.2.1. mediaCapabilities.decodeInfo function does not exist on PS5.

Does anybody know if there is a workaround for this? I am curious if it is a known issue or needs a separate ticket.

Using Shaka 3.1.0 and setting persistent-license as sessionType seems to fix the problem partially, however when the session is updated the following error is thrown Shaka Error DRM.LICENSE_RESPONSE_REJECTED.

After an extensive investigation, we found that PS5 doesn't support PlayReady license acknowledge, which causes the CDM to reject the license response. However, by removing the TrasactionId from the license response, it should work fine.
