Hi,

We have separate Flash Access packager encrypting content. This content is afterwards served by FMS to clients. While flash-enabled clients just download content via vod/mp4:content.f4v, iOs clients use /hls-vod/content.f4v.m3u8. Is there way to enable EXT-X-KEY parameter to m3u8?

i've explored jithttp_module possible settings, but as far as i understand now - it's targeted to have both key and server url, which is not suitable - in our architecure we had plans to keep FMS away of all keys. Or maybe am i doing smth wrong?

Thanks!

    Hi,

    Could you please elaborate on your work flow? In AMS there are a couple of ways to generate and serve Adobe Access protected content -

    1. Using the hls module where the encrypted content and m3u8 is generated on the fly.

    2. Using the HLS Offline packager that generates encrypted fragments with the m3u8 that can be served from a web server.

    In both cases the m3u8 generated contains all the required information.

    Apart from this custom m3u8 files for the set-level manifest can be generated using the f4mconfig tool.

    I'm not sure if your work flow fits any of the above. If not, the m3u8 files will have to be modified manually.

    Thanks,
