PlayReadyProxy Setup Guide 🤔

1. Clone the repositories

• First, clone the repositories PlayReadyProxy and PlayReadyProxy-API to your local machine.

2. Re-configure PlayReadyProxy-API

• Navigate to the PlayReadyProxy-API directory for re-configuration.
• Rename .env.example and config.ini.example to .env and config.ini, respectively.

3. Configure config.ini

• Open and modify the config.ini file with the appropriate settings. For example:

[CDM]
DEVICE_FILE = device/myprd_file.prd
DEVICE_NAME = NVIDIA

4. Set up virtual environment (venv) 🐍

• Create a virtual environment (venv) and activate it.
• Install the required dependencies from requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Place your .prd file

• Ensure that your myprd_file.prd file is located in the device directory.

6. Set up PlayReadyProxy Extension 🔑

• The NVIDIA device name will be used in the PlayReadyProxy extension.

7. Generate API Key 🔐

• Once everything is set up, run generate_apikey.py to generate an API key:

python generate_apikey.py

• Example output after generation:

Enter username: TEST
Generated API key for 'new_user': TEST_3b6d0dfba92b63cbf41aaaa76fb493a8

8. Use the API Key

• Use the generated API key TEST_3b6d0dfba92b63cbf41aaaa76fb493a8 in the PlayReadyProxy extension configuration.

9. Extension Configuration Example 📑
