11/14/2018: Wasabi Source SDK 1.24.0

1. Changes since the last release 1.23.0

• Update Wasabi MPEG2 TS stream support to handle CA descriptor in elementary stream descriptor loop of the PMT.
• Deprecate support for mipsel android target both 32 bit and 64 bit.
• Fix potential issue with trusted time and not-before condition in service role assertion during client-server transactions.
• Bug fixes:
  • – WAS-984: A Subtle issue with -program-number command line switch in TS2 and few Wasabi programs where the program number of “1” is handled as a special value that indicates the first program in PAT.

2. Known Issues

• Wasabi build is not supported with Android NDK r5b version.
• #1215: Landscape view of Loop Player is showing player as in portrait view in iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (iOS6). After the content played without seek first time fully in landscape view, the player starts playing in portrait view even though the device is in landscape view for the second time. This is a limitation of the sample player.
• Audio bitrate changes might cause small temporary freezes in rendering pipeline for the desktop platforms.
• Bento4 does not implement Fragmented Sample Table seek operations completely, and produced HLS TS fragments may have grossly audio and video non-interleaved fragments that the Android HLS media stack does not handle gracefully.
• #1567: SamplePlayer: On desktop, the playback freezes for a second after 2-3 seconds. of the start of the playback for few of the test HLS static contents.
• #1581: Playing Live DASH can get player and server out of sync after about 1h30m of playing. It is recommended the player implement some server time sync mechanism.
• #1656 – On Windows, Wasabi does not accept “file:///c:/” as file URL in personalization token. Use “file://c:/” instead.
• #1820: LoopPlayer: Application controls are not visible in landscape view in iOS8
• #2117: iOS: Green patch occurs during video playback when playlistProxy started with WSB_PP_FLAG_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_CLIENT flag for “w0011fa3h02.p229.mlv” large PDCF content. Without this Flag, no issues.
• Unplugging USB headset during content playback causes the minor delay in video in Windows Platform. The cause was traced down to an issue in the Microsoft API which returns bogus position occasionally and caused wrong computation of the CTS (Composition Time Stamp) for audio and video presentation.
• #2145: MS3 HTTP header version in Client is not correct, it is 1.0 instead of 1.2.
• #2161: WasabiAospPlayer: Unable to play local fragmented mp4 content present in /data/local/tmp. SELinux in AOSP potentially needs adjustment based on the android version.
• #2168: DASH FairPlay: Unable to play the proxy response of Multi CID DASH contents on FairPlay application when proxy started with “-fairplay-encrypted-hls”
• #2226: Multi DRM: Unable to play Encrypted segments of Fast Start content with iOS FairPlay application only on iOS 11 beta and iOS 10.3.3O. #2267: iOS FairPlay : Playback stops in the middle and application(FPS_Sample_Client) pops up with “Cannot Complete Action” error only on iPhone 6s(10.1.1) when playing Single Fragmented MP4 content with ac3 audio codec type.
• #2260: JNI: WSB_MediaType doesn’t implement “SUBTITLE” type in JNI layer similar to “WSB_MEDIA_TYPE_SUBTITLE” type in C level
• #2295: JNI: MediaFile returns null value for Track info when Dash clear content and also a mixture of tracks where some are clear and some are encrypted is given as input
• WAS-897: ExpressPlayer application shows blank screen from iOS 11.1 or greater version.
• WAS-977: Wasabi build fails with gcc 8.1
• Demux HLS playlist from playlist proxy known to cause playback issues of few contents only in NU Player but those seems to play fine with latest exoplayer.
• WAS-1043: Wasabi build fails with XCode 10 on MacOS Mojave(10.14)
• WAS-1048: Scons Build fails for “x86-64-unknown-linux” target on Ubuntu 18.04 with Glibc Version 2.27

3. Notes:

• ExpressPlaySDK 1.16 or later for iOS supports “bitcode” feature introduced in iOS 9 and later. And hence it is mandatory to build iOS app with ExpressPlaySDK 1.16 or later using Xcode7 or later. Bitcode is enabled by default in Xcode7. To disable, go to Project Settings -> Build Settings -> Build Options and change “Enable Bitcode” to No.
• A new iOS9 feature disallows clear HTTP transfers by default. To work around this, an application using Playlist Proxy needs to add an App Transport Security exception to the application’s Info.plist file. The exception could be specific to a domain, or could be an overall exception for any HTTP access in case application accesses many media contents over HTTP.
• Support for MIPS 64-bit architecture android library is only available in evaluation SDK package.
• In AOSP, our testing has been limited to AOSP-O version and that there might be problems on specific devices.
• ExpressPlaySDK for MAC Proxy can be compiled using libc++ compiler.
• Updated Readme-iOS.txt regarding new App Transport Security exception for iOS 10 and backward compatibility.
• Starting from 1.19.0 release, building ExpressPlayExample requires iOS 8 SDK or above since it is now using AVKit framework which is supported from iOS 8 version onwards.
• When integrating the source SDK with a 3rd party provided implementation of SKB, please note:
  • – The SKB (Secure Key Box) API has been changed from 1.0 to 1.1
  • – New SKB 1.1 interface is backwards compatible with 1.0, at source level (alternate SKB implementation requires recompilation with the new SkbSecureKeyBox.h v1.1 header), except for requiring two new functions to be provided by the SKB implementation: SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal
  • – As the simplest upgrade from SKB 1.0 to SKB 1.1, a proprietary SKB implementation can provide the two new functions as stubs that return SKB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. The downside to not implementing the full functionality in these new functions is that the client will not be able to negotiate any GCM based TLS cipher suite
  • – The complete implementation of the new SKB APIs is included in the Sockeye source SDK provided separately
  • – The SKB HMAC transform must support more than 14 bytes (e.g. 20 bytes) long HMAC key (this has not been the case with Sockeye 1.0 and Sockeye 1.0-hkp2; the change is included in the new Sockeye SDKs)
  • – The complete set of SKB 1.1 functionality needed to support Wasabi Client includes the SKB 1.0 functionality plus support for AES-128-GCM cipher, HMAC-SHA256 transform and the two new SKB functions SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal
  • – Please refer release notes in XPCA addon package for XPCA related functionality implementation.
  • – XPCA addon package has been restructured to make it common for both Wasabi SDK(upcoming 1.24 onwards) and TEE Porting Kit(RC4 onwards), please refer the readme present in XPCA addon package for integration steps

10/05/2017: Wasabi And ExpressPlay SDK 1.21.0

 

Changes since the last release 1.20.0

• Added support for DASH profile ‘urn:mpeg:dash:profile:isoff-on-demand:2011’.
• Added support in iOS/Android to download/create a single media file from a DASH single period manifest with on-demand profile, as well as from a static representation with live profile. The latter is supported for content packaged with Bento4 tools.
• Added a new Wasabi Multi-DRM API (WSB_MediaAdapter_* APIs) in iOS/Android, which accepts the new ExpressPlay Universal License Token and a DASH streaming manifest.
  • The new API enables the app to use either Native or Marlin DRM.
  • Both DRMs can also be used with Marlin as fallback if the Native DRM is not available for content decryption.
    1. In the case of iOS, the selection of Native DRM results in the use of Marlin to transform of the DASH media to HLS/SAMPLE-AES/TS2/AppleSpec media and the Universal Token is used to acquire a FairPlay license.
    2. In the case of Android, Marlin may be requested as an alternate to Widevine if it is not available.
• Enhanced the MediaFile API implementation to extract representation IDs from the DASH manifest. In addition, the semantic of track count for DASH has changed from # of AdaptationSet to # of Representation.
• Enhanced AOSP implementation to play H265 content via Nuplayer.
• Re-enabled support for “WASABI_PROPERTY_KEY_SPACE” runtime property.
• PlaylistProxy Enhancements:
  • – Added support for Subtitles in Playlist Proxy when playing back m4f and PDCF content.
  • – Enhanced Playlist Proxy to not filter out HD representations for DASH and fragmented m4f content when transforming input to FairPlay protected content via the new MediaAdapter API or a new PlaylistProxy flag.
  • – Improved Bandwidth computation for Fragmented mp4 and PDCF contents.
• ExpressPlay SDK related changes:
  • – Added ExpressPlayDownloadExampleBB sample application to illustrate the use of the MediaDownload feature on Android and iOS platforms.
  • – Added the ExpressPlayMediaAdapterExample sample application to illustrate the use of the MediaAdapter multidrm api feature on Android and iOS platforms.
  • – Added ExpressPlayExampleSwift sample application in iOS.
• Bug Fixes :
  • – #2134: TLS: TLSTest crashes while processing server_certificate with a very large RSA key.
  • – #2179: PlaylistProxy: Unable to do track selection for fragmented mp4 content with multi-audio tracks encrypted with the CBCS method.
  • – #2183: WSB_Runtime_ProcessServiceToken only save the last license if the token includes multiple License Acquisition directives.
  • – Fixed various crashes reported by the American Fuzzy Lop tool for major public APIs.

2. Known Issues

• Wasabi build is not supported with Android NDK r5b version.
• #1215: Landscape view of Loop Player is showing player as in portrait
  view in iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (iOS6). After the content played without
  seek first time fully in landscape view, the player starts playing in
  portrait view even though the device is in landscape view for the second
  time. This is a limitation of the sample player.
• Audio bitrate changes might cause small temporary freezes in the
  rendering pipeline for the desktop platforms.
• Bento4 does not implement Fragmented Sample Table seek operations
  completely, and produced HLS TS fragments may have audio and
  video non-interleaved fragments that the Android HLS media stack does not
  handle gracefully.

  of the start of the playback for few of the test HLS static contents.
• #1581: Playing Live DASH can get player and server out of sync after
  about 1h30m of playing. It is recommended the player implement some

• ​#2253: Android scons builds fail with the latest NDK r16-beta1
• #2256: Playlist Proxy errors on playing hosted (single fragment) m4f
  files. Hosted m4f files are not supported

3. Notes:

• ExpressPlaySDK 1.16 or later for iOS supports the “bitcode” feature introduced in iOS 9 and later. Hence it is mandatory to build the iOS app with ExpressPlaySDK 1.16 or later using Xcode7 or later. Bitcode is enabled by default in Xcode7. To disable, go to Project Settings -> Build Settings -> Build Options and change “Enable Bitcode” to No.
• A new iOS9 feature disallows clear HTTP transfers by default. To work around this, an application using Playlist Proxy needs to add an App Transport Security exception to the application’s Info.plist file. The exception could be specific to a domain, or could be an overall exception for any HTTP access in case the application accesses media contents over HTTP.
• Support for the MIPS 64-bit architecture Android library is only available in the evaluation SDK package.
• In AOSP, our testing has been limited to the AOSP-M version, so there might be problems on specific devices.
• ExpressPlaySDK for MAC Proxy can be compiled using libc++ compiler.
• Updated the Readme-iOS.txt regarding new App Transport Security exception for iOS 10 and backward compatibility.
• Starting from the 1.19.0 release, building the ExpressPlayExample requires the iOS 8 SDK or above since it is now using AVKit framework which is supported from iOS 8 version onwards.
• When integrating the source SDK with a 3rd party provided implementation of SKB, please note that:
  • – The SKB (Secure Key Box) API has been changed from 1.0 to 1.1.
  • – The new SKB 1.1 interface is backwards compatible with 1.0, at the source level (alternate SKB implementation requires recompilation with the new SkbSecureKeyBox.h v1.1 header), except for requiring two new functions to be provided by the SKB implementation: the SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and the SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal
  • – To upgrade a proprietary SKB implementation from SKB 1.0 to SKB 1.1, provide the two new functions as stubs that return SKB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. The downside to not implementing the full functionality in these new functions is that the client will not be able to negotiate any GCM based TLS cipher suite.
  • – The complete implementation of the new SKB APIs is included in the Sockeye source SDK provided separately.
  • – The SKB HMAC transform must support more than 14 bytes (e.g. 20 bytes) long HMAC key (this has not been the case with Sockeye 1.0 and Sockeye 1.0-hkp2; the change is included in the new Sockeye SDKs).
  • – The complete set of SKB 1.1 functionality needed to support Wasabi Client includes the SKB 1.0 functionality plus support for AES-128-GCM cipher, HMAC-SHA256 transform and the two new SKB functions SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal.l

  • – TLS layer now supports the cipher suite. TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • – The suite will be used if the TLS “high” version configured on the client is at least 1.2 and of course if the server supports it
  • – If you are integrating the source SDK with a 3rd party implementation of SKB please read the special note further in this page
• (Beta preview) Added support for Common Encryption CBCS scheme for fragmented MP4 and DASH content:
  • – PlaylistProxy on iOS, Android, Windows, MacOSX, tvOS now supports playback of DASH/fMP4/CBCS media packaged using Bento4
  • – PlaylistProxy on iOS, Android, Windows, MacOSX, tvOS now supports playback of DASH/fMP4/CBCS media packaged using Shaka-Packager but user must add Marlin ContentProtection element manually after packaging
• (Beta preview) Support DASH CENC packaged content playback on iOS with FairPlay license (via Playlist Proxy):
  • – Please consult the new PlaylistProxy flag
  • – Content must be DASH-CENC protected with Marlin signaling
  • – Note you will need 2 ExpressPlay token, a Marlin token to initialize the Playlist Proxy and a FairPlay token for FairPlay to decrypted the resulting Sample AES encrypted content using the FairPlay DRM
• Deprecated support for x86 architecture on macOS target platform
• ExpressPlay related changes:
  • – Added MediaSegmentDecrypter API support as a part of Desktop proxy SDKs
  • – Windows Proxy SDK will now contain VS2015 target support additional to VS2010 target

• Bug Fixes :
  • – #2137 – TLS: Wasabi TLS handshakes fails when Server has international domain names in certificate
  • – #2138 – WasabiSushiPersonalize tool crashes while using renewal.dat file with offline personalization token
  • – #2150 – Playlist Proxy assumes Volatile Store URL content never changes
  • – #2157 – SamplePlayer: Application crashes while seeking Hls content to non-existent end of segment

2. Known Issues

• Wasabi build is not supported with Android NDK r5b version.
• #1215: Landscape view of Loop Player is showing player as in portrait
  view in iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (iOS6). After the content played without
  seek first time fully in landscape view, the player starts playing in
  portrait view even though the device is in landscape view for the second
  time. This is a limitation of the sample player.
• Audio bitrate changes might cause small temporary freezes in the
  rendering pipeline for the desktop platforms.
• Bento4 does not implement Fragmented Sample Table seek operations
  completely, and produced HLS TS fragments may have grossly audio and
  video non-interleaved fragments that the Android HLS media stack does not
  handle gracefully.
• #1567: SamplePlayer: On desktop, the playback freezes for a second after 2-3 seconds
  of the start of the playback for few of the test HLS static contents.
• #1581: Playing Live DASH can get player and server out of sync after
  about 1h30m of playing. It is recommended the player implement some
  server time sync mechanism.
• #1656 – On Windows, Wasabi does not accept “file:///c:/” as file URL in
  personalization token. Use “file://c:/” instead.
• #1820: LoopPlayer: Application controls are not visible in landscape view
  in iOS8
• #2117: iOS: Green patch occurs during video playback when playlistProxy started with
  WSB_PP_FLAG_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_CLIENT flag for “w0011fa3h02.p229.mlv” large PDCF content. Without this
  Flag, no issues.
• Unplugging USB headset during content playback causes the minor delay in video in Windows
  Platform. The cause was traced down to an issue in the Microsoft API which returns bogus position
  occasionally and caused wrong computation of the CTS (Composition Time Stamp) for audio and video
  presentation.
• #2145: MS3 HTTP header version in Client is not correct, it is 1.0 instead of 1.2
• #2161: WasabiAospPlayer: Unable to play local fragmented mp4 content present in /data/local/tmp. SELinux in AOSP potentially needs adjustment based on the android version.
• #2179: PlaylistProxy: Unable to do trackselection for fragmented mp4 content with multi-audio tracks encrypted with CBCS method.

3. Notes:

• ExpressPlaySDK 1.16 or later for iOS supports the “bitcode” feature introduced in iOS9. When building ExpressPlay 1.16 or later on iOS, it is now mandatory to use Xcode7 or later. Bitcode is enabled by default in Xcode7. To disable, go to Project Settings -> Build Settings -> Build Options and change “Enable Bitcode” to No
• A new iOS9 feature disallows clear HTTP transfers by default. To work
  around this, an application using Playlist Proxy needs to add an App
  Transport Security exception to the application’s Info.plist file. The
  exception could be specific to a domain, or could be an overall exception
  for any HTTP access in case application accesses many media contents over HTTP
• Support for MIPS 64-bit architecture android library is only available in
  evaluation SDK package
• In AOSP, our testing has been limited to AOSP-M version and that there might be problems on specific devices
• ExpressPlaySDK for MAC Proxy can be compiled using libc++ compiler
• Updated Readme-iOS.txt regarding new App Transport Security exception for iOS 10 and backward compatibility
• Starting from 1.19.0 release, building ExpressPlayExample requires iOS 8 SDK or above since it is now using AVKit framework which is supported from iOS 8 version onwards.
• When integrating the source SDK with a 3rd party provided implementation of SKB, please note:
  • – The SKB (Secure Key Box) API has been changed from 1.0 to 1.1
  • – New SKB 1.1 interface is backwards compatible with 1.0, at source level (alternate SKB implementation requires recompilation with the new SkbSecureKeyBox.h v1.1 header), except for requiring two new functions to be provided by the SKB implementation: SKB_Cipher_ProcessAad and SKB_Cipher_ProcessFinal
  • – As the simplest upgrade from SKB 1.0 to SKB 1.1, a proprietary SKB implementation can provide the two new functions as stubs that return SKB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. The downside to not implementing the full functionality in these new functions is that the client will not be able to negotiate any GCM based TLS cipher suite
  • – The complete implementation of the new SKB APIs is included in the Sockeye source SDK provided separately

  • – #1981: PlaylistProxy fails to play clear HLS content when proxy is started with “WSB_PP_FLAG_ENCRYPTED_HLS” & “WSB_PP_FLAG_SESSION_KEY” flags.
  • – #1985: Not able to play/skips clear segments of HLS Mixed Encryption content when PlaylistProxy is started with “WSB_PP_FLAG_ENCRYPTED_HLS” & “WSB_PP_FLAG_SESSION_KEY” flags.
  • – #1986: LoopPlayer: Application crashes while playing ‘fragmented PDCF audio-only’ content when debug logger information is enabled to ‘FINE’ level.
  • – #1989: SamplePlayer throws “-1” error on just seeking to the extreme end of playback/timeline bar for few PDCF audio-only contents
  • – #1990: Sample Player: Crash occurs on seeking ‘PDCF audio-only’ contents when played immediately after DASH content playback without closing the application
  • – #1993: Sample Player: Seeking ‘audio-only pdcf’ content immediately after the playback of BBTS content without closing player, throws “-40001 ==> BLT_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED” error
  • – #1996: Desktop audio track selection in PDCF content is broken

2. Known Issues

• Wasabi build is not supported with Android NDK r5b version.
• #1215: Landscape view of Loop Player is showing player as in portrait view in iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (iOS6).
  After the content played without seek first time fully in landscape view, the player starts playing in portrait view even though the device is in landscape view for the second time. This is a limitation of the sample player.
• MarlinPlaylistPlayer: Fragmented mp4 pdcf content playback freezes after 2 seconds of play and timeline bar starts from the beginning on playback resume.
• #1499: MarlinPlaylistPlayer: Issues with video resolution and pause/resume with playback in Nexus 7 device having Android OS Version 4.3.
  Pause, rewind and fast forward actions are broken in Android 4.3 (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=59776)
• “Audio & Subtitles” icon is not available/viewable in iPod device
• Audio bitrate changes might cause small temporary freezes in the rendering pipeline for the desktop platforms.
• Bento4 does not implement Fragmented Sample Table seek operations completely, and produced HLS TS fragments may have grossly audio and video non-interleaved fragments that the Android HLS media stack does not handle gracefully.
• #1567: SamplePlayer: The playback freezes for a second after 2-3 seconds of the start of the playback for few of the test HLS static contents.
• #1581: Playing Live DASH can get player and server out of sync after about 1h30m of playing. It is recommended the player implement some server time sync mechanism.
• #1656 – Wasabi does not accept “file:///c:/” as file URL in personalization token. Use “file://c:/” instead.
• Android still has a bug in the HLS fragment duration parsing: here
• #1820: LoopPlayer: Application controls are not visible in landscape view in iOS8

3. Notes:

• A new iOS9 (beta) feature disallows clear HTTP transfers by default. To work around this, an application using Playlist Proxy needs to add an App Transport Security exception to the application’s Info.plist file. The exception could be specific to a domain, or could be an overall exception for any HTTP access in case application accesses many media contents over HTTP.
• A new XCode7 (beta) feature adds BITCODE_ENABLED build setting, set to YES by default. When building for device with bitcode enabled, the Deployment Target must be set to iOS6 or higher. Note also that the ExpressPlay framework does not include bitcode at this time.

    • – Added support for availabilityEndTime
  • PlaylistProxy related changes:
    • – Added support for non-mulitplexed multi-audio channels in HLS playlistproxy
    • – Added support for WebVTT subtitles (non-processed HLS playlist lines) in HLS palylistproxy for iOS platform
    • – Added support for fragmented mp4 playback in Playlist Proxy
  • Other Changes
    • – SDK Documents which were present in previous release of the source SDK have been moved to http://www.expressplay.com
    • – Add wasabi runtime convenience method for processing BB tokens
    • – IMPORTANT: the default filenames for the sushi db and license store have changed. In order to upgrade from a previous version of the ExpressPlay SDK, the previous version’s path name must be used in the initialization of the SDK. Refer to bug#1542 below. Starting with v1.7, the file names are defined like so:
    • – db0[.].storage
    • – LicenseStore[.].db

      Where DBParamName can be provided when calling WSB_Runtime_InitializeEx(). It is recommended that a production deployment configure the parameter to be specific to the company doing the deployment (to avoid ambiguity and conflicts on the desktop platforms). Similarly, since v1.6 of the SDK provided a default value that is no longer provided, the parameter used in the 1.6 deployment must be used to enable a smooth upgrade.

8/17/2012: Wasabi Express 1.4

 

1. About

• Wasabi Express is a binary version of the Wasabi Source SDK of the same release version, compiled on iOS, android, Windows and Mac OSX. The functionality of the Express SDK is equivalent to that of the Wasabi Source SDK on these platforms. For details, please consult the Wasabi Express Media Player Developers Guide in the Documents folder.

2. Notes & Known Issues

• Cleanup
  • Wasabi Express compiled binaries may not work on your device if you have already personalized an instance of the sdk on your device. Please delete db0.storage using the WasabiDBWiper utility found in BIN//
• Downscaling
  • On Mac OSX and Windows, the player engine will attempt to downscale the video to the maximum size allowed (520K). The CPU necessary for the downscaling may tax certain devices to the point where the user experience is less than desirable. It is best for media to adhere to the output size restrictions.
• iOS Finalization
  • The reference to finalization in section 5.2 is incorrect. For information on finalization, please refer to the LoopPlayer’s Xcode project. A build phase called “TR Finalize” invokes the necessary script to finalize the application. It is best to use keep the invocation and relative directory paths of files necessary for this phase identical to those in the LoopPlayer project. Note that the 2 files at the root of the SDK (wasabi-ios.nwdb, wasabi-ios.nwproj) are required for this step and must be kept in this location relative to the Wasabi-BIN-* folder.

---

01/10/2011: Wasabi 1.1

 

1. Changes from the last Release 1.0

• Higher Level Error Codes
  • A new set of higher level error codes enable the caller to better determine the reason for a failure, be this at MS3 token processing, DRM action token processing, or DRM license evaluation. These new codes are documented (for now) in the following .h files:
    • – Source/Config/Validator/WsbConfigActionResultValidator.h
    • – Source/Interface/Extended/WsbPlaybackEnabler.h
    • – Source/Interface/Extended/WsbActionResultInfo.h
    • – Source/Interface/Core/WsbRightsEnabler.h
  • Error codes returned during service access are fairly straightforward. However, to understand how to use the API and the error codes in order to provide users with meaningful information, we recommend to have a look at the sample code provided in: Source/Examples/WasabiEcmDecrypter/WasabiEcmDecrypter.cpp
• New processing_result field in WSB_RightsEnabler_LicenseEvent
  • This new field allows a listener to be informed when a license could not be processed by the rights enabler in its search for a valid license (during the EnableMediaFile call).
• Function signature change for WSB_Config_ValidateActionResult
  • The new signature now needs the parameters that were used to create the Action using SHI_License_CreateAction:
    • – A boolean stating whether the result should be validated as a result of a Check or a Perform.
    • – A character string indicating the name of the Action.
    • – some optional Action parameters

2. Known Issues that did not make the release cutoff

• Incomplete API Documentation: due to time, the documentation of these error codes did not make it into the PDF documentation
• Ticket #268
  • – It is currently possible to call SHI_EnginePersonalize from multiple threads (using different SHI_Engine instances) and corrupt the personality stored in the sushi db.
  • – Workaround: ensure sushi personalization is only done from a single thread
• Ticket #259
  • – On Windows Vista and 7 platforms, it is possible that the sushi db location created during personalization not be accessible by a sushi application, when the application has different user privileges from the process that performed personalization. For instance:
    • * personalize using any appropriate programs with “admin” privilege
    • * perform any operation that writes to the Sushi Db using any appropriate programs with “user” privilege. Notice one Sushi Db in C:ProgramData?Wasabi and another one in
      C:UsersfooAppData?LocalVirtualStore?Wasabi (where foo is the corresponding user name)
  • – Workaround: If personalization is expected to be performed via a process with privileges different from those that the application may have, create the sushi db location prior to personalizing and ensure the folder has the necessary permission so the application can access it.

10/31/2010: Wasabi 1.0

 

1. Changes from the last Prerelease

• Enhanced Code coverage and numerous bug fixes.

  • – Several Modules have been added to the “embedded” API list. Thes are:
    • * WSB_ActionResultConstraint Class
    • * WSB_ActionResultInfo Class
    • * WSB_Ms3Client Class
    • * WSB_Ms3Sas Class
    • Please consult the documentation for further info.
  • – New JNI Interfaces (ContentProxy, LicenseStore, License
• Various updates to Sushi Config (refer to the Sushi Deployment Guide)
• Externalized SKB and support for linking with 3rd party SKB implementations
• Changes to the SKB exported key format (affects generic implementation only but requires re-personalization of clients)
• Various enhancements to ContentProxy (support for progressively downloaded media)
• Internal Enhancements to use WSB_PlaybackEnabler wherever appropriate
• Personalization protocol update to support OAEP padding of key encryption key instead of PKCS1.5 only
• A number of fixes to the TLS implementation to handle a greater number of certificate formats
• Audio Driver output support on linux
• Ability to explicitly select a track (desktop and JNI interfaces)
• Support for Stream Access Descriptors in addition to Compound URI
• Improved Obligation and Callback handling (including in DBUS Server)
• Reworked RightsEnabler to enable processing of further licenses than the license selected by default

---

9/30/2010: Prerelease

 

As previously announced, the main items in this release are:

• – a lot of code cleanup and bug fixes
• – proxy support for HTTPS connections made using the wasabi client (previously only HTTP connections were supported)
• – configuration code cleanup (to support configuration with certificates/keys other than the defaults)
• – a new TS encryption tool aware of adaptive bit rate content
• – documentation updates

In addition, the sdk sources are now delivered in 2 packages:

• – an “eval” package, that is identical in content to the previous drops (and builds on Win/Mac/Linux and Linux-like)
• – a “release” package, (for Linux-like platforms only) that produces a build of the “supported” modules/interfaces only. There are many sample, experimental, and other such illustrative code in the “eval” package, not intended to be part of the final wasabi product. These un-supported items are removed from the build output in the release package. That and the version number is the only difference between “eval” and “release”.

Known Issues:

• – (too) late in testing we found that flags/obligations from the MS3 SAS responses are not properly handled by the client. We will be ready to issue a patch shortly, should it be needed.

---

08/31/2010: Prerelease

 

This is a significant update to the 7/30 release, with the following enhancements:

• – the DRM engine has been upgraded to use the SKB 1.0 interface.
• – note that it will be necessary to remove any old sushi db0.storage and license store file
• – the SKB 1.0 interface is complete and final. A limitations of 1.0 is that cloaking of secrets received over a TLS channel is not supported. Until a 1.x release, secrets transmitted over TLS (eg. MS3 SAS-delivered content keys) are handled by the caller of the interface
• – Extended License Store APIs to support recently defined Canvas use cases
• – HTTP proxy support for all HTTP (not yet HTTPS) calls.
• – Removed symbols from libWasabi.so that do not need to be visible externally
• – MS3 TLS cleanup. The drm client now uses one single TLS implementation throughout, and validates the server certificates, and presents its nemo certificate for authentication to the service.
• – As a result the MS3 server must have access to the MTMO trust anchor. ms3-test.intertrust.com<http://ms3-test.intertrust.com/> has this certificate and will work with the ms3 client of the sdk.
• – the ms3-test.intertrust.com:8000 service (and associated MS3 SAS server) have been updated and the previous release’s clients will no longer be able to connect successfully. And the previously distributed Ms3SampleServer is now unable to service the new Ms3 clients.
• – To support the SKB implementation, a new version of Intertrust’s on-line personalization protocol has been implemented and is deployed for drm client personalization. The support for the so-called “Bluewhale personalization” protocol has been deprecated and is no longer available.
• – The ECMDecryptor API previously released as a patch have been incorporated
• – A new implementation of the DBUS server, incorporating code cleanup and functional modifications due to an update to the Canvas specification

Missing from the release, and expected to be completed by the 9/30 (code complete) release:

• – HTTPS proxy support and internal rework of HTTP proxy support
• – documentation synchronization with latest code
• – some memory leaks cleanups
• – Code cleanup so that all sdk functions use SKB wrapped keys and SKB algorithms (instead of clear keys only and crypto algorithms sometimes external to SKB) This could not be completed in time for the release but does not affect any application calling the sdk interfaces
• – Sushi configuration functionality needs to be updated to support configurations other than the default/test key based configuration included in the SDK. This is not an issue as long as test keys are used.

---

07/30/2010: Prerelease

 

This release includes alpha level implementations of:

• – client processing of MS3 triggers (compound URI only)
• – MS3 apache server module A brief introduction to MS3 is provided in a white paper. The release also includes sample MS3 client and MS3 server executables.Please consult the Readme for directions to build and verify the functionality. We are also hosting a test MS3 server at Intertrust, at http://ms3-test.intertrust.com:8000, to be used as described in the MS3 readme included in the release. We expect to update this release on or before the end of August with:
• – a different TLS implementation for the MS3 client functionality (this alpha version uses fixed client certificates, not the expected marlin client’s nemo certificate, and it does not validate theserver certificate)
• – bug fixes as needed for a beta level implementation.
