What did you do?
- Configured Shaka Player with Widevine DRM using a custom license URL in Edge browser.
- Played a DRM-protected video.
- Observed that the license request went to a predefined URL instead of the custom URL.
- Tested the same configuration in Shaka Player version 4.10.9, where it worked as expected.
- Observed the issue only in Edge browser with Shaka Player versions 4.12.6 and above.
What did you expect to happen?
The license request should be sent to the custom URL specified in the Shaka Player configuration. (although it works fine if we configure this license uri to playready config).
What actually happened?
In Edge browser with Shaka Player versions 4.12.6 and above, the license request is sent to a predefined URL(https://license-global.pallycon.com/ri/licenseManager.do) instead of the custom URL specified in the configuration. This issue is not observed in version 4.10.9 or other browsers.
Are you planning send a PR to fix it?
No, but willing to provide additional details or testing if needed.
