Android Widevine DASH implementation + ExoPlayer

Question

I want to play Widevine Modular - DASH video in my app and I want to use VideoView or ExoPlayer for it.

Is there any sample how I can setup it? Or can you provide me any sample code how to acquire the licence? I have URL of the video and also the Widevine server URL.

Before we were using Widevine classic and the request for licence looks like this:

private void prepareDrmInfoRequest()
{
        mDrmInfoRequest = new DrmInfoRequest(DrmInfoRequest.TYPE_RIGHTS_ACQUISITION_INFO, "application/mp4");
        mDrmInfoRequest.put("WVVideoUrlKey", "http://some_url.com/dash/1.mpd");
        mDrmInfoRequest.put("WVDRMServerKey", "http://some_url.com/video/widevine_modular/?auth_token=haslůkfjlksjfljnvlakhnsufn");
        mDrmInfoRequest.put("WVCAUserDataKey", "LJKHlklkhkljhKJLHuzgztfZTFZTUFzutf");
        mDrmInfoRequest.put("WVPortalKey", "provider");
}

and then

  public int processDrm()
  {
        DrmInfo df = mDrmManagerClient.acquireDrmInfo(mDrmInfoRequest);
        if(df != null)
        {
            return mDrmManagerClient.processDrmInfo(df);
        }
  }

After that the video was playing on VideoView or ExoPlayer.

I realise this is an old question but if anyone is still looking for this the standard ExoPlayer demo includes widevine example manifests also.

The demo player is available here:

https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer

And the widevine manifest examples can be seen in the config at the following location:

ExoPlayer/playbacktests/src/androidTest/java/com/google/android/exoplayer2/playbacktests/gts/DashTest.java

To see it in use search for 'DefaultDrmSessionManager' in the repository.

After download the exoplayer demo, In the demo exoplayer you just need to change the media.exolist.json in asset

like this yo:

[

  {
    "name": "Widevine DASH DRM Tests",
    "samples": [

      {
        "name": "tes DRM -acquire license",
        "uri": "https://YOURlinkto.mpd",
        "drm_scheme": "widevine",
        "drm_license_url": "https://drm-widevine-licensing.axtest.net/AcquireLicense",
        "extension": "mpd",
        "drm_key_request_properties": {
          "X-AxDRM-Message": "YOUR-xrdm-value"
        }

        }

    ]
  }
