Can we develop server-side module to add custom headers/tags to m3u8 playlist and change/remove existing headers/tags ?

This is not supported at present. What are you trying to accomplish?

No, there is not a way to do this at present. Maybe in the future, but I don’t know if or when.

We have iOS client that allows play HLS encrypted with PlayReady and also have library that allows us to encrypt “.ts” chunks , but in m3u8 playlist we need add custom tags/headers and change/remove some existing .

Do you plan support HLS in DRM AddOn ?

Richard,

Checking in on this one. I’m using the latest Streaming Engine and need a way to customize M3U8 headers. As a quick example:

#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID=“subs”,NAME=“English”,FORCED=NO,AUTOSELECT=YES,URI=“subtitlelist_leng.m3u8”,LANGUAGE=“eng”

I want to update FORCED=NO to FORCED=YES. Is there support for this in 4.1.x?
