Flash Access implementation

Hi,
I am presently modifying my video player so that it can play Adobe flash Access protected content.
Is it mandatory for me to use the OSMF component in my video player in-order to play protected content?
Also i have started making a few changes in the player referring to the steps mentioned at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ce3.html
When i tried to play a video for which the authentication method was username/password required,the login fails and nothing happens thereafter.
When i tried playing a video for which authentication method required was Anonymous,i am able to download the voucher and view its contents.
But the video file does not play.None of the DRM errors or Netstatus errors are displayed.The application just freezes there.
What could be reason for this?
Regards,
Aditya Dubey

Hello LoveToQ,
Can you verify that your configuration was successful? Please take a look at Step #4 of the "Flash Access Quickstart Guide" (http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashaccess/index.html).
Please pay particular attention to the step describing the usage of Validator.bat and how to validate (via a browser) that your license server was properly set up.
cheers,
/Eric.

Using Flash Access Pro 3.0 ref-implementation tools?

I'm adding DRM support for Flash Access to my company's products. I've just installed a Flash Access Pro 3.0 server with a 90-day Trial license issued 2012.07.26, using the "quick-start guide". The verification step (browsing to http://localhost:8080/flashaccessserver/flashaccess/license/v2) reports "License Server is setup correctly".
I've added the license (.pfx) file path and password to 'Reference Implementation/Command Line Tools/samples/com/adobe/flashaccess/samples/licensegen/GenerateLicense.java', and compiled using "ant -f ./build-samples.xml build", then ran the app as shown below. I've double-checked that the password matches the license file using "using "openssl pkcs12 -info -in my_certificate.pfx". I also tried using the scrambled password, but that issues the error "Unable to load credential from my_certificate.pfx -- possibly wrong password", which seems to indicate that it's successfully using the plaintext password.
Has anyone used GenerateLicense successfully? And if, so, with a Trial license, or a regular license?
What does "Flash Access Professional License server certificate required" mean? Does it means the server is actually not running correctly? Or is there another problem?
Thanks for any help on this issue ...

I don't know about other things using FileMaker files but if you do use many scripts, I bet that won't be easy…
However, if you can find one somewhere like e-Bay, FMP 5 can read 3 files, works perfectly in Classic and includes installers for 9, X and even Windows on the same disk.
If it matters, I seem to remember the reason my FMP files are now stuck with single-user access instead on networking is that networking late X with Windows requires FMP 6… and presumably, that doesn't much matter.

How to find out what version of Adobe/Flash Access you're running

To find out what version of Adobe Access server you’re running, do this:
1.          Unzip (or unpack) your flashaccess.war file (it’s just a zip file)
2.          Navigate to: \flashaccess\META-INF\
3.          Open “MANIFEST.MF” and look for “Implementation-Version” for something like 3.0.0296
4.          That is your Adobe/Flash Access version#

Android AIR with DRM Flash Access 3 (workflow DRM client side) ? HELP

Hello,
I'm trying to manage DRM encryption for video with Flash Access 3.0 on Air for Android (or mobile device profile). I looked around and haven't found any awnser so far.
I know that Flash Player on Android devices is not supported by Adobe Flash Access, but it seems a bit different on Android AIR application, but where there is some point that I don't understand and I don't find any answer or exemples.
How to manage the DRM API workflow for Android AIR with Framework AIR?
Until now, i made a custom AS3 video playback (like StobeMediaPlayback), and i am trying to play:
an encrypted video ->           http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/anonymous.f4v (encrypted) and its metadata http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/anonymous.f4v.metadata
and a no encrypted video --> http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/Content/unencrypted.f4v on Android device with AIR framework.
What I understand in accordance what i found this this forum, there are some differents workfows to manage DRM :
#1 - FMRMS (Flash Media Rights Management Server) before Flash Access :
     -NetStream.play()
     -NetStream.authenticate()
Adobe said tha that the workflow above is no longer recomanded, as we have Flash Access now
#2 - Flash Access for (Flash Player or AIR desktop):
(without token authentication) anonymous
(with token authentication)
1. Get drm metadata
2. Create DRMContentData class from drm metadata
3. DRMManager.loadVoucher()
4. NetStream.play()
1. Get drm metadata
2. Create DRMContentData class from drm metadata
3. Identify from metadata that this video requires authentication
4. Prompt user for credentials and call DRMManager.authenticate()
5 DRMManager.loadVoucher()
6. NetStream.play()
more info : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ce3.html
Both case use DRMManager class in which you can use loadVoucher to apply the DRMContentData object from a DRM-protected media file
#3 - Flash Access 3.0 for (AIR 3.2 mobile device):
But in AIR environnement for mobile device, I don't found any informations toward a workflow for DRM Flash Access. The official documention say that the DRMManager class "it is not supported on mobile devices. You can test for support at run time using the DRMManager.isSupported property" (source: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/drm/DRMManage r.html ). For now, when I test my player DRMManager.isSupported, the return is "false".
Is there a way to manage a DRM player for AIR mobile without DRMManager class ? What is the right workfow for this? Or maybe, I mistaken something. I think some people have succeed with DRM implemtnation on AIR mobile...
Thanks in advance

Flash Access Based SWF Verification

Is there any documents of the flash access based SWF verification? I did some search online, but most of them are talking about either FMS based or PHDS based SWF verification. I'm looking for the SWF verification for Flash Access License Server.
Thanks.

Hello,
You can check the Using the Adobe Access Reference Implementations documentation.

Probably policy.allowedSWFApplication.n property is what you are looking for.

Flash Access DRM FMP Fails When Authentication Dialog Triggered for Display

Hi all,
Flash Media Playback is failing in the case when playing a video that has Flash Access DRM that requires display of an authentication dialog. A sample failing configuration is here:
http://provenwebvideo.com/codesamples/10/fmp_drm/
Note, the link above includes the same video asset running successfully in Strobe Media Playback 1.0 (alongside to the right).
Also, the link above includes FMP working successfully with a second video that has Flash Access DRM but which does NOT trigger display of an authentication dialog (second video in player in a row below the failing player).
Source on the Flash Access DRM video test assets are from the Flash Access team via the following link:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3144143#3144143
fyi, This is not a showstopper for me. I am just reporting it as I was surprised that it works with SMP, but fails with current FMP.
hth,
g

Wow, Greg, the test page is awesome! I can only wish that all the issues get reported this way!
The issue with DRM content played with http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf is caused by the fact that the FlashMediaPlayback.swf is compiled for the Flash Player 10.0.
I tested your sample with the Flash Media Playback compiled for 10.1 (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf) and it works fine: http://smpfmp.appspot.com/fmp_drm.html
Note that you need to ask your viewers to upgrade to the latest flash player, since Flash Media Playback doesn't handle this automatically, yet. (we have this feature in the backlog, but it might not fit into our future 1.5 release). Check this for technical details related to this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/swfobject.html
Does this information help? Is there something that you would expect us to implement or document better?

How can we verify the custom props in (Flash Access) license is there?

We've added custom properties to a FAXS license and we'd like the client (OSMF-based media player) to display it (eg overlay those properties like a watermark over the video). The custom properties were added via "ApplicationDefinedRight" and "ApplicationProperties".
We're able to see it embedded in the content via command line (see below) but it doesn't appear in the DRMVoucher when I step through the media player code when the DRMManager receives it:
-- start command line snippet --

Thanks for your reply Hiroshi.
Unfortunately, that's exactly what we've been doing.
* reportVoucher - record the voucher detail in log file
protected function reportVoucher (currentVoucher:DRMVoucher):void {
var stringToAppend : String = "";
var customPolicies:String = "";
var i:int =0;
var ptw:DRMPlaybackTimeWindow = null;
var name:String;
try{
    if (currentVoucher.policies != null){
      for(name in currentVoucher.policies)
        customPolicies += "policies." + name + " = " + currentVoucher.policies[name] + "\n";
    stringToAppend += " customPolicies : \n" + customPolicies;
    stringToAppend += " startDate = " + currentVoucher.voucherStartDate + "\n";
    stringToAppend += " endDate = " + currentVoucher.voucherEndDate + "\n";
    stringToAppend += " offlineLeaseStartDate = " + currentVoucher.offlineLeaseStartDate + "\n";
    stringToAppend += " offlineLeaseEndDate = " + currentVoucher.offlineLeaseEndDate + "\n";
    ptw = currentVoucher.playbackTimeWindow;
    if (ptw == null){
      stringToAppend += " playbackTimeWindow = null \n";
    } else {
      stringToAppend += " playbackTimeWindow.startDate = " + ptw.startDate + "\n";
      stringToAppend += " playbackTimeWindow.endDate = " + ptw.endDate + "\n";
      stringToAppend += " playbackTimeWindow.period = " + ptw.period+ "\n";
    trace(stringToAppend);
} catch (e:Error) {
      trace(e.message + "\n when getting the voucher info");
So perhaps maybe there's still something in the server level that could also be the problem. We suspect if the final license object is passed around (not the one embedded in the content), it may not contain the custom properties anymore. It's just a speculation.
Nevertheless, at least you've pointed out that I am looking in the right place (DRMVoucher.policies) for them.

Flash Access 2.0 - 10.3.181.34 Error

Hi,
We are unable to play flash access 2.0 protected movies with the new flash version 10.3.181.34.
The problem seems to be in a request for a file that Strobe Media Playback makes -> http://xsdownload.adobe.com/drm/plug/win/x86/10.3.181.34, this resource doesn't exists, but looks like there's no problem to get this resource for other versions like http://xsdownload.adobe.com/drm/plug/win/x86/10.3.181.26.
Could someone guide point me to a solution?
Thanks

Some embedded videos don't work after Flash Update.
A simple cure would be nice.
After my Adobe Flash Update to version 10.3.181.34 yesterday, some embedded videos on the web wouldn't work for me as a default user. When I tried as administrator, there were no problems. But I won't surf as an admin!
I have manually compared the browser-settings between administrator and default-user, and I couldn't find any differences. I have also checked the installation, both in sysWOW64 and in IE-add-ons, and I did uninstall and install as administrator.
My solution for now was to restore my system 2 days backwards. And it works! That makes me happy :-)
Now I'm waiting for Adobe or Microsoft to address the bug and post a simple cure. In the meantime, I'll fight hard to keep my Adobe Flash ActiveX version 10.3.181.26 - It might be a little old, but it works just fine on my Win7-IE9

Bad Adobe Flash Access DRM module

I have been streaming videos and movies I have purchased without problems until yesterday when Amazon wouldn't load the video and suggest upgrading Flash Player.
I have OS X 10.5.8, so Flash Player 10.3.183.29 is the most up-to-date version my computer can have.
I went to Adobe site and followed instructions for removing the bad Adobe Flash Access DRM module, deployed in 2011. Replaced it with the corrected DRM module. When I ran the test for protected content through the Adobe demo video player, no video played and received message: Error #3343. IV check failed.
What is error #3343? How can this be resolved?
Would greatly appreciate anyone's help on this.
Thanks.
