QUESTION
I'm not entirely sure if Stack Overflow is the correct website to ask this question, but I have been thinking about it ever since a friend mentioned it to me a week ago. I know on a baseline level what hardware acceleration does: offloads certain workloads to other components in your computer (i.e. your GPU or sound card) to improve performance in various applications. I just would like to know what exactly is happening when hardware acceleration is on v/s off when streaming a Google Chrome window and why it makes a difference in a completely different application.
If you're unfamiliar with what I'm referencing in the title, here's a simple example of what I mean: Let's say you want to watch a Netflix show or sporting event with your friends on Discord, so you all hop in a call together on the app to watch you stream the video in a Chrome tab. However, when your friends join the stream, they can hear the audio of what you're streaming but the video feed is blacked out for those watching. Interestingly enough, one of the solutions people have found to this issue is disabling hardware acceleration in Google Chrome's settings which allows the video and audio to be streamed no problem.
It makes sense why this occurs: to prevent potential piracy and illegal redistribution of copywrited material, but why does disabling hardware acceleration re-enable this functionality? Does hardware acceleration allow data to be shared between apps? Does Discord set a flag saying a particular window/screen is being streamed and Chrome can only "see" that flag while hardware acceleration is enabled?
I guess the underlying question is: how does having hardware acceleration enabled allow Netflix, a TV provider or any other website for that matter to know their content is being streamed?
feel free to recommend other tags for this post, didn't want to include discord because it's not referencing their API
edit: also, please let me know if this is off-topic so I can delete it and repost on another website
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-02 at 21:37The hardware acceleration allows the HDCP content to remain encrypted all the way to the display. By disabling it, the video is decrypted in software usually at a reduced resolution and/or frame rate.
QUESTION
My Android app provides the functionality to watch & download video lectures. I want to protect these videos from piracy/sharing. We are using Azure Media Service to store videos and I need to play these videos in Android Native player(ExoPlayer) by applying Widevide DRM encryption.
Is there a good tutorial/blog series on Azure Media service with Widevine DRM protection to play it on Android ExoPlayer?
Can someone please help/guide me as I just have started working on it?
Thanks in Advance.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-30 at 20:33This is a doc on Widevine DRM I'm aware of (from MS): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/previous/offline-widevine-for-android
Even though it focuses on offline mode but also contains some basic Widevine content.
QUESTION
I have read some question's answer on stackoverflow about how to prevent an app from being shared after downloading it form Google Play Store. Such as:
Adding Google Play Licensing: How to secure an Android app against sharing apps like ShareIT & more?
Adding Google Play Licensing and In-app Billing: How to prevent android app being downloaded outside google play
In some places, I have also seen Google Play Licensing can be cracked with some third party softwares or rooting the device. Such a video's link of youtube: How To Remove License Verification From All Android Apps
However, the video was uploaded three years ago, so I don't know if it will work in 2020 or there might be other new ways of doing it.
So, is it a better option to publish an app with in-app billing/purchase to avoid piracy or it also have some drawbacks?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-12 at 19:26As with any type of digital document, the safest system to verify its authenticity is to verify the signature.
The signature is a series of bytes added to the document that were generated using a private key and then can be verified using a public key.
Both licenses and google in-app purchases have a signature but few programmers verify it and instead believe that verifying the token (a unique identifier) on Google's servers is enough, when it is possible for the hacker to replicate fake purchases using the same valid token (Buy it one time and use it a lot of times)
On the other hand, it is not possible to generate a valid signature without having the private key that only Google knows.
But some hacker apps like freedom alter the Android security library so it always gives the OK to any signature verification, that is why Google recommends to verify the signature on an external server, here is an example of how do it https://stackoverflow.com/a/48531877/7690376
You have to verify the signature and you have to do it on an external server, in this way it is almost impossible for your app to admit fake purchases or licenses.

I a following this course on Pluralsight:
https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/getting-started-android-development/table-of-contents
and when I create my project with the "Basic Activity", My activity_main looks completely different than his. The first one is mine and the second one is his:
He only has a constraint layout with a Text view, but I have a coordinator layout and a app bar layout and a toolbar and all this stuff which I don't know. I haven't changed mine a bit. I am not able to post anything else from the video because of piracy, but I can give you more info on my project if you want.

I think if you do the following, it will get you pretty close to the starting project in the video:

QUESTION
I want to call "privacy policy" and "user terms" weblinks on the same WkWebView Controller. I defined two different buttons in the initial view controller and when either of them is pressed I assign the related URL string in the variable. Then I pass it to WkWebView controller via perform segue. Please see both controllers below. My problem is at first run, URL returns nil because when I press the button it jumps to WkWebView Controller and crashes. If I assign a default link at initialization it works as expected. I don't understand why it does not proceed URL assignment line at first run. Any help very much appreciated since I could not find any solution yet. (Apple links are just for example)

QUESTION
Possible Doing
While Netflix uses Amazon S3 for Video Streaming, they tend to use encrypted video files and stream it as it is. How we can encrypt video files so it is secured against video piracy and others.
What I want to achieve
Most of the content is stored in a compressed and encrypted format and streamed as is. They are compressed using a lossy audio/video codec such as MPEG or H. 264. The compressed data is encrypted using a Digital Rights Management system.
How myself can encrypt the video files and stream it with iframe for websites?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-12 at 14:57There are many possible ways that a person can stream videos and secure.
- Origin blocking (Origin, CORS, Referrer)
- Embed busting
- Tokenized URLs
- Generic token
- Advanced user specific tokens
- Login/Paywall
- Stream encryption
- DRM (Digital Rights Management)
There are Modern Techniques like.
- Domain filtering
- Referrer filtering
- Embed buster
- Session token
AES encryption.

Install piracy
On a UNIX-like operating system, using your system’s package manager is easiest. However, the packaged Ruby version may not be the newest one. There is also an installer for Windows. Managers help you to switch between multiple Ruby versions on your system. Installers can be used to install a specific or multiple Ruby versions. Please refer ruby-lang.org for more information.
