Working with PallyCon

Scope of support

PallyCon provides 360 degree Cloud-based End-to-End Content Security. Radiant Media Player is compatible with PallyCon technology to reliably deliver content with DASH Widevine/PlayReady DRM and Apple FairPlay Streaming. You can review our compatibility table for DRM with DASH or HLS streaming here.

This documentation will guide you on how to easily implement PallyCon DRM solution with Radiant Media Player.

PallyCon is a Radiant Media Player technology alliance partner.

DASH with Widevine and PlayReady DRM

First, you will need an account with PallyCon and to prepare your content for DASH streaming with Widevine and PlayReady DRM. Radiant Media Player will take care of loading and parsing the DASH manifest, contacting the DRM licensing servers and displaying content when authorised. Our DASH streaming & DRM implementation is based on Shaka player. General documentation for DASH streaming with Radiant Media Player can be found here. General documentation for using DRM with Radiant Media Player can be found here. Below you will find a complete example for using PallyCon with Radiant Media Player.

Apple FairPlay streaming (FPS)

We also support FairPlay streaming with PallyCon to Radiant Media Player. FairPlay streaming, which requires HLS, aims at providing support for DRM encrypted content to Apple devices. For us this is macOS Safari 11+, Safari for iOS 10+ and iPadOS 13+, iOS 13+ and iPadOS 13+ WKWebView. More information about FPS support in Radiant Media Player can be found here.

Maximizing device reach with FPS + DASH DRM

In real life case scenario, it is likely you will want to use a combination of DASH with Widevine and PlayReady DRM and FPS DRM to maximise device reach. When you provide both DASH DRM and FPS DRM data to Radiant Media Player it will automatically detect which is supported for the targeted device and use the related DRM information to playback content securely.
