Playback of PlayReady smoothstream in Roku2

Just a couple obvious problems... StreamURLs should be an array of strings, not a single string. I'd also suggest using the newer stream or streams attribute rather than the older parallel arrays. http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/RokuSDK ... +Meta-Data

Chris,
Thanks for the quick reply.

We tried out with Stream also as given below.

videoInfo = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
videoScreen = CreateObject("roVideoScreen")
videoInfo.Stream = {
url:["http://playready.directtaps.net/smoothstreaming/TTLSS720VC1/To_The_Limit_720.ism/Manifest"]
bitrate:[0]
quality:false
contentid:"ABCD"
}

videoInfo.StreamFormat = "ism"
videoScreen.SetMessagePort(port)
videoScreen.SetContent(videoInfo)
videoScreen.show()

The result is same as before . We are able to play an unencrypted smoothstream (url as in code).
But if we replace the URL with that of a Playready encrypted stream ( http://playready.directtaps.net/smoothstreaming/TTLSS720VC1PR/To_The_Limit_720.ism/Manifest
) the playback fails. For the requestFailed message, Index is -5.

Is the issue related to DRM ? Do we have sample playready URL for testing?

Thanks again!

Hi,

An update to the isue.
We were able to playout the stream at http://playready.directtaps.net/smooths ... m/Manifest
As per documentation the A/V format is 720p, H264 AAC, with encryption.

The previous file which had problem in playback was from http://playready.directtaps.net/smooths ... m/Manifest
for which the spec is, 720p, VC-1 WMAPro, with encryption.

Another observation is that we are able to playback the stream at http://playready.directtaps.net/smooths ... m/Manifest
which is 720p, VC-1 WMAPro, no encryption.

Looks like the combination of WMAPro, VC-1 and encryption doesnt work.

We support neither VC-1 nor WMAPro audio.

Does roku support it now?
