[Question] Can custom license functionality be handled using videojs-contrib-dash?

[kirandcunha]

Description

Briefly describe the issue. Use a custom license functionality instead of passing just the license URL. I have been using inbuilt vhs of videojs 7.0 along with videojs-contrib-eme to successfully play a protected content with a custom license mechanism. videojs-contrib-eme provides getLicense method which helps us. I am trying to migrate to videojs-contrib-dash because of TTML captions support. After adding videojs-contrib-dash plugin, getLicense function is not getting invoked and there is an error [224][Stream] DRM: No license server URL specified!

Steps to reproduce

Explain in detail the exact steps necessary to reproduce the issue.

1. Add videojs-contrib-dash and videojs-contrib-eme plugins.
2. Play content which required a custom flow for license acquisition.

Results

Expected

Please describe what you expected to see. getLicense function does not get invoked.

Actual

Please describe what actually happened. getLicense function should get invoked and license should be fetched from here.

I don't think that this project works with contrib-eme. I believe everything is handled directly by DASH.js. I'm pretty sure that DASH.js has similar functionality, and if it does you'll probably need to configure it appropriately, see https://github.com/videojs/videojs-contrib-dash#initialization-hook.
