AES Encrypted HLS not playing in offline and making a call for encryption key

[moazzam-adda247]

Hey @r-plus ,
I am trying to download HLS which is AES encrypted using this library but even after download it makes a call every time for key due to which I am not able to play it when user is not connected to internet at the time he/she starts to play. Can you please help me to fix it or make some changes so that this library can handle such issues.

Hi @moazzam-adda247

this library is built based on this apple document.
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/MediaPlaybackGuide/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/HTTPLiveStreaming/HTTPLiveStreaming.html

Probably, AVAssetDownloadURLSession is not support playback AES Encrypted HLS in offline.

I also see same problem, so I choose another approach that is create web service for myself(I used Heroku), it used ffmpeg to encode HLS stream to mp4 file then download encoded mp4 file to my iPhone for offline playback.

For offline play use this

func playVide(fileName:String){
guard let relativePath = AssetStore.path(forName: fileName) else { return }
let homeDirectoryURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSHomeDirectory())
let filePath = homeDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent(relativePath).path
if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: filePath){
let player = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath))

             let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
             playerLayer.frame = self.view.bounds
             self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
             player.play()
            let duration = player.currentItem!.duration.seconds
            
            timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: duration, repeats: false, block: { (timer) in
              //  player.pause()
//                playerLayer.removeFromSuperlayer()
                timer.invalidate()
            })
            print("File Found")
        }else{
            print("Not Found")
        }

}`
