Widevine support is an alternative solution for streaming services that currently rely on Silverlight for playback of DRM-protected video content. It will allow websites to show DRM-protected video content in Firefox without the use of NPAPI plugins. The Widevine CDM runs in an open-source CDM sandbox in Firefox providing better user security than NPAPI plugins.
This wiki details the testing that will be performed for Widevine CDM project. It defines the overall testing requirements and provides an integrated view of the project test activities. Its purpose is to document:
Widevine Content Decryption Modules (CDMs) are how streaming services protect content using HTML5 video to web browsers without relying on an NPAPI plugin like Flash or Silverlight. Currently we support Adobe Primetime CDM in Firefox and we are enabling the Google Widevine CDM starting in Nightly.
