@vinay-altbalaji That sounds like a content issue rather than anything related to this one. Marking off topic. Please file a new issue containing complete information as requested in the issue template if you wish for us to take a look. We cannot investigate your issues without test media and clear reproduction steps.

Useful background: https://exoplayer.dev/drm.html

This issue can occur where key rotation is present in the media, where the media consists of different quality streams with different keys, and when playing playlists containing DRM protected content.

The problem is that DRM keys are only requested at the point of playback. The solution will be to request them earlier (e.g. one option is to request them at the point of buffering).

@AquilesCanta - This seems affecting our playback experience too. Please let me know if you need any help with test streams. Thanks.

@AquilesCanta Do you consider the key rotation stream which the pssh is only in segment? some encoder/packager won't put the pssh in mpd for live key rotation stream so you can't fetch license in the MediaSource. To be able to retrieve license earlier maybe trigger the license request after demuxing before rendering?

[AquilesCanta]

We are working on other DRM improvements at the moment, please be patient. A commit will appear below once we push something to the dev-branch.

@AchibanaUkyo That's what we intend to do.
