The Helper class takes two arguments: protocol (the media streaming protocol) and the optional argument 'drm'.

It is recommended to not add your InputStream add-on as a dependency in addon.xml. It can cause confusion with users not being able to install your add-on because the InputStream add-on is disabled. InputStream Helper addresses issues such as these and helps the user to install/enable required InputStream components.
