They'd have to be happy relying on the encryption mechanism to protect the stream. Once the stream is written to the HDD it would be basically impossible to prevent this anyway. I'm not sure how CL would feel about streaming to multiple clients. streamed to the splitter filter via an RTSP streaming server based on live555.read back directly by a TS splitter filter (custom TsReader) in a "single-seat" installation (MP and TV Server installed on the same machine), or.Assuming that is okay for the moment, the black box would essentially need to wrap the stream source (tuner driver?) and decrypt and re-encrypt the stream using the CL certified encryption mechanism before the stream is written to the HDD. I'm not sure how keen CL would be about allowing an encrypted stream to be written to the HDD. On the server side, the stream from the tuner is always written to the HDD at present (for timeshifting or recording). If it were easy, I'd expect N-PVR, MythTV and SageTV would have added the copy-once support already as well.Ĭlick to expand.Just expanding on this thought a little, in particular on how that black box might fit into the existing MP architecture. I implemented what we've got now pretty much by myself but I can't imagine continuing and implementing all the content protection stuff in the same way.Īs vladd said: we're already behind the rest of the field in terms of timing. We would need a lot more help to do this work. Putting that aside, assuming that money were available and that we could implement a DRM system in open source software. Not that I'm saying we're for piracy rather, I'm saying that DRM seems to be almost fundamentally incompatible with open source, and open source is a non-negotiable for MP. More than anything else, it is not really in the nature of the MP project to support DRM. The short version is that in my opinion it is prohibitively costly, difficult and time consuming to implement support for anything more than copy-freely content. This was the response I gave to somebody who asked a similar question on our forum the other day: I hear you on the content protection issues.
