Hello,

Is it possible to avoid the "Enable DRM" prompt when using shaka-player to only play unprotected content? It seems that if EME is not needed for the video it should be possible to avoid triggering the browser prompt but I am unable to find such a configuration option in the shaka documentation.

Best,
Andy

Hi Andy,

Our demo app calls shaka.Player.probeSupport(), which can trigger a permission prompt on Chrome on ChromeOS and Android because it probes for persistent license support.  I'm unsure of the semantics for that Firefox prompt, though.  I would guess probeSupport() triggers the Firefox prompt as well, but that prompt could be triggered by other things as well.  Are you using probeSupport() in your application?

Thanks,
Joey

Thanks Joey!

Are you using probeSupport() in your application?

Yes, I was. Avoiding that call fixes this issue.

Best,
Andy
