On which players will HLS encryption work?

I am trying to encrypt live with the methods given in the documentation:

This is my method in module

public void onHTTPCupertinoEncryptionKeyLiveChunk(ILiveStreamPacketizer liveStreamPacketizer, String streamName,

CupertinoEncInfo encInfo, long chunkId, int mode) {

if (streamName.startsWith(“aes128”)) {

encInfo.setEncMethod(CupertinoEncInfo. METHOD_AES_128 );

encInfo.setEncUrl(“http://mycompanykeyserver.com/authenticate.aspx”);

encInfo.setEncKeyBytes(BufferUtils. decodeHexString (“123456789ABCDEF123456789ABCDEF12”));

encInfo.setEncIVBytes(BufferUtils. decodeHexString (“FEDCBA9876543210FEDCBA9876543210”));

encInfo.setEncKeyFormatVersion(“1”);

getLogger ().info(“FairPlay encryption”);

}

if (streamName.startsWith(“aes”)) {

encInfo.setEncMethod(CupertinoEncInfo. METHOD_SAMPLE_AES );

encInfo.setEncUrl(“http://mycompanykeyserver.com/authenticate.aspx”);

encInfo.setEncKeyBytes(BufferUtils. decodeHexString (“123456789ABCDEF123456789ABCDEF12”));

encInfo.setEncIVBytes(BufferUtils. decodeHexString (“FEDCBA9876543210FEDCBA9876543210”));

encInfo.setEncKeyFormat(CupertinoEncInfo. APPLE_KEYFORMAT_IDENTITY );

encInfo.setEncKeyFormatVersion(“1”);

getLogger ().info(“FairPlay encryption”);

}

}

I can’t play my encrypted live anywhere when I give the license server URL, the license is definitely good because it is for fairplay but it doesn’t work in any player. My question is how can I check if my encryption with given key will work? I want to play my stream after entering my license. what free players are recommended?

We typically use VLC player to test for encryption and we used that recently in a webinar to show that the encryption was working. The test is that your stream will not play with encryption and you get a black screen and error and without the encryption it will play no problem.

It’s a free player to download by the way.
