4 years ago Hi Ondrej,
Yes, it is possible to use Shaka Player with Electron for Content Security for persistent licenses. I had only used DOWNstream for it until now, but I just successfully tested the Shaka download demo as well, so it works right out of the box for non-production content. For production content you'd need to update the VMP signature, as you probably have seen if you have read through the README, but that information is somewhat outdated since there is a new solution in the works - see https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases/issues/58#issuecomment-663002442.
If you want to try out the demo yourself you can get away with a minimal electron application that opens the URL up in a BrowserWindow, using a snippet similar to this:
function createWindow () {
const win = new BrowserWindow({
webPreferences: {
nodeIntegration: false,
plugins: true
}
});
win.loadURL('https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/');
}
app.on('widevine-ready', createWindow)Just make sure you are using Electron for Content Security and not stock electron, and it should work. I hope that answers your questions!
Best, Emil

Hi,
Sorry for posting this into the issues, but I can't seem to find any support group related to castlabs's custom electron build where I can get the answer as soon as possible.
Is it possible to run Shaka Player to download a Widevine protected MPEG-DASH video and store persistent licenses using this build of Electron on macOS ? I need to find a solution for a simple movie player that will be capable to download a video from our server and be able to play the file completely off-line for the next 10 days (So being online is only necessary to download the video into the browser storage and obtain the persistent license).
So, in a nutshell, I need to replicate the following demo inside the electron app on macOS : https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/
Is it possible to run the shaka player demo "out-of-the-box" or it is required to custom develop some components? If so? what components need to be developed? I am aware of downSTREAM project, but I want to use the shaka player's internal ability to download the movie and store the license.
Thank you, and yet again I am sorry for posting a question into the issues? As I am unable to find any comprehend answer to such a question around the internet.
Thank You.
