DRM Channels not playing

[nehasjains]

DRM TV channels are not playing from the app.

They are playing fine while using TIVIMATE, KODI or OTT Play iptv apps.

Kindly fix

Have you tried vpn or changed the user agent ?

[nehasjains]

They are working perfectly fine if I use Tivimate or ott play without using any VPN service.

Which user agent should I try ? I don't give any special user agent in tivimate, kodi or ott play

[Collier14]

I always use IPTVSmartersPro
But there is a few you can try.
Just make sure you put in details correctly too.
Sometimes you need to put :443 :80 at the end.
Https or http also.
Good luck.

The channels are working fine in tivimate etc.

I was hoping that they would work in ARVIO app.

The playlist gets loaded fine. But the channels are not playing. These channels are DRM protected.

Here is a technical overview for anyone interested in taking on this issue:

Problem Context

Some DRM-protected IPTV channels fail to play because DRM license request headers and non-standard M3U DRM tags are not fully passed to ExoPlayer.

Technical Implementation Steps

1. License Request Headers (LiveTvScreen.kt & TvScreen.kt):
   • Update ExoPlayer MediaItem.DrmConfiguration.Builder to parse Kodi pipe header syntax (URL|Header1=Val1&Header2=Val2) and set them via setLicenseRequestHeaders().
2. M3U DRM Directive Expansion (IptvRepository.kt):
   • Expand DRM property parsing to handle non-standard #EXTVLCOPT: and inline #EXTINF DRM attributes for Widevine, ClearKey, and PlayReady streams.
