I am using the vod hls stream and are ready to protect the HLS stream with AES-128 external encryption. If I have a lot of video files, how do I generate their key files in bulk, because if I generate them one by one, it will be too much trouble and time consuming. I want to ask for your help, sincere thanks.

There is a way to automate this in genkey, but I am looking to see if we have any documentation to assist you with that.
