I am running the player in windows 7. I am using windows media player right now. But if needed (to implement PVP or OPM) I don’t mind building a player from scratch.

Please let me know if it is possible to use Windows Media Player and implement this protection?

Thanks

I started reading the material about output protection manager. It is all greek and latin for me. Is there any programmer out there who can work with me on output protection manager for my player?

Please let me know. I am willing to pay for this project.

Thanks

By far missingremote helped me a lot in understanding HDCP clearly.

I was under assumption that we have to encode/encrypt the videos with HDCP.

But this article http://www.missingremote.com/blog/high-definition-optical-discs-and-their-associated-copy-protection-acronyms cleared my doubts.

So the content it self need not be encrypted with HDCP. Am I right?

My video files are encrypted using AES encryption alogorithm and is decrypted on the fly.

Now I have a graphics card from Nvidia which is HDCP ready. I checked the HDCP status and it says HDCP is enabled. Now if I connect my server (with Nvidia Quadro fx 3800) to a projector with HDCP capabilities will it stop pirates from using DVI/HDMI splitters?

I understand they can use HDFury but this is not a readily avalibale product here so it is ok as long as they can’t use DVI/HDMI splitters.

Now one last doubt that I have is, how do I notify my graphics card that my content should be played using HDCP? How can the graphics card differentiate between a high value content that needs to use HDCP and normal video which need not use HDCP?

Please let me know your suggestions

Thanks

What is meant by physically securing the connections?

How do I do that?

Please advice.

Thanks

Hi,

My films will be loaded from a hard disk. If that is what you meant by media.

To explain further about my project please find the workflow.

1. Player interface is launched once the power is switched on.
2. There are two users to select 1)operator 2)Admin
3. Operator will be taken directly on to the page containing the list of available films (loaded from harddisk)
4. Once the operator selects the films, the player checks

•    is projector connected?
•   if a projector is connected the player will check for the projector info. If it is whitelisted (based on EDID info) the player checks for licence
•   if licence is valid the player decryots the video and playsback in the secondary monitor
•   While the video is being played back, a timer task keeps track of
  •   the current playback position
  •    checks if the secondary device is disconnected
  •   if the secondary display device (projector) is disconnected then the player stops the playback.

 

For the admin we have various options for file copying, playlist generation, maintenance etc.

Please let me know what we can do in this scenario

Thanks

Venkat
