Do not create duplicate posts

Nah!!
I just messaged to the developer for support

Please, I still don’t know how to use this extension correctly, I’m getting this error, I believe it’s because of the video link. I think maybe I have to use the DashSource block, but I don’t know how to do that, could someone help me?

Can anyone help me, what to enter in these fields, I tried but getting error evey time…
@AryanGupta @ZainUlHassan

The developer is offline since 2 year, and he didn’t made docs for this block

Anybody please help me!!
@Quantum20 @Bharat_Android_App_D

Why you want to use that block? or for what?

To use dash(mpd) links with drm license, can you help me I tried it but always getting error.
@MuhammadMansuri

I hadn’t used this extension ever, so i don’t know more about this. But I will surely try to help you.

Thank you, if any other extension is available, I will use that but unfortunately this is the only extension that supports dash(mpd) with drm licence,and the developer is also offline from 2 years and he didn’t have made docs for this block.

I found this on his GitHub page, he made this extension as OS, I think you can understand this and help me to use that block

GitHub Page:- exoplayer-appinventor/ExoplayerCore.kt at main · zainulhassan815/exoplayer-appinventor · GitHub

No idea man, I’ve never been in the need to use DRM playback, I can’t help you much as I don’t even know links to such videos.

If you want, you can pass the AIA inbox and I’ll test it or you can wait for a more experienced moderator!:ok_hand:
