Please ask your question
I recently upgraded Shaka Player in my project from 4.7.3 to 4.12.6 and noticed that FairPlay DRM is no longer working. After testing multiple versions, I found that the issue starts from version 4.10.0.

I checked the release notes and documentation, but I couldn’t find any information on what changes I need to make in my code to fix this issue.

Screenshot of the error for reference:

Additionally, I found that my code does not enter the webkitneedkey event when using versions 4.10.0 or later. Specifically, in the following code, the event handler is never triggered:

const addNeedKeyEventToVideo = () => {
  let video = ref.current;
  video.addEventListener('webkitneedkey', onNeedKey, false);
};

I'm happy to share more code snapshots if needed.

Thanks.

If it has stopped working, it is probably a bug, but in order to know what is happening we need to be able to reproduce it... (url, config for your DRM provider, etc...)

This is how we configure Fairplay DRM:

"drm": {
    "fairplay": {
      "certificateUrl": "fps-cert-url",
      "licenseUrl": "license-url"
    }
  }

  if (drm?.fairplay && (isSafari || isIOS)) {
    const req = await fetch(drm.fairplay.certificateUrl);
    const cert = await req.arrayBuffer();

    fpsCertificate = new Uint8Array(cert);
    addNeedKeyEventToVideo();
  }
};

const addNeedKeyEventToVideo = () => {
  let video = ref.current;
  video.addEventListener('webkitneedkey', onNeedKey, false);
};
