Note: To enable build with DRM(Playready & Widevine), Please reach out to Amlogic for Openlinux access for DRM libraries. Need to have below repository access.
NOTE: Both Amlogic and RDKM teams enable MS12 audio on the build. To enable MS12 audio in the build, need to enable build option "--enable-dv-ms12" .
This may effect some of YTS tests with respect to partial audio to fail if no MS12 audio(though ms12 is not directly needed, due to audio path, it may need ms12 audio to enable).
Check if you have access to Amlogic restricted repos.
Execute below command to check if you have PlayReady access git clone ssh://git@openlinux.amlogic.com/vendor/playready.git Execute below command to check if you have Widevine access git clone ssh://git@openlinux.amlogic.com/yocto/vendor/widevine |
Please contact your Amlogic sales or FAE teams to get restricted DRM repo access if you do not have yet.
