EME Extension - HDCP Policy Check Sample

Available in Chrome 73+ | View on GitHub | Browse Samples

Background

The EME Extension, HDCP Policy Check API allows web developers to query the status of a hypothetical key associated with an HDCP policy, without the need to create a MediaKeySession or fetch a real license. It does not require the MediaKeys to be attached to any HTMLMediaElement either. If HDCP is available at the specified version, the promise should return a MediaKeyStatus of "usable".
