How to play a AES-128 encrypted HLS video in AVPlayer

Question

I'm able to play a normal HLS video in AV Player without any trouble. But how do I play a AES-128 encrypted HLS Video?

Answer 1

To decode an AES-128/similar encrypted HLS Video, just add 'Authorization' to your header.

let headers = ["Authorization": "Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx..."]
let avAsset = AVURLAsset(url: videoURL, options: ["AVURLAssetHTTPHeaderFieldsKey": headers])
let avItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: avAsset)
let avPlayer = AVPlayer(playerItem: avItem)
.
