Reproducing encrypted video using ExoPlayer

Question

I\'m using ExoPlayer, in Android, and I\'m trying to reproduce an encrypted video stored locally.

The modularity of ExoPlayer allows to create custom components tha

Example how to play encrypted audio file, hope this will help to someone. I'm using Kotlin here

import android.net.Uri
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.C
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.DataSource
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.DataSourceInputStream
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.DataSpec
import com.google.android.exoplayer2.util.Assertions
import java.io.IOException
import javax.crypto.CipherInputStream

class EncryptedDataSource(upstream: DataSource) : DataSource {

    private var upstream: DataSource? = upstream
    private var cipherInputStream: CipherInputStream? = null

    override fun open(dataSpec: DataSpec?): Long {
        val cipher = getCipherInitDecrypt()
        val inputStream = DataSourceInputStream(upstream, dataSpec)
        cipherInputStream = CipherInputStream(inputStream, cipher)
        inputStream.open()
        return C.LENGTH_UNSET.toLong()

    }

    override fun read(buffer: ByteArray?, offset: Int, readLength: Int): Int {
        Assertions.checkNotNull(cipherInputStream)
        val bytesRead = cipherInputStream!!.read(buffer, offset, readLength)
        return if (bytesRead < 0) {
            C.RESULT_END_OF_INPUT
        } else bytesRead
    }

    override fun getUri(): Uri {
        return upstream!!.uri
    }

    @Throws(IOException::class)
    override fun close() {
        if (cipherInputStream != null) {
            cipherInputStream = null
            upstream!!.close()
        }
    }
}

In function above you need to get Cipher which was used for encryption and init it: smth like this

fun getCipherInitDecrypt(): Cipher {
    val cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CTR/NoPadding", "BC");
    val iv = IvParameterSpec(initVector.toByteArray(charset("UTF-8")))
    val skeySpec = SecretKeySpec(key, TYPE_RSA)
    cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skeySpec, iv)
    return cipher
}

Next step is creating DataSource.Factory for DataSource we've implemented earlier

import com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.DataSource

class EncryptedFileDataSourceFactory(var dataSource: DataSource) : DataSource.Factory {

    override fun createDataSource(): DataSource {
        return EncryptedDataSource(dataSource)
    }
}

And last step is players initialization

    private fun prepareExoPlayerFromFileUri(uri: Uri) {
        val player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(
                    DefaultRenderersFactory(this),
                    DefaultTrackSelector(),
                    DefaultLoadControl())

        val playerView = findViewById(R.id.player_view)
        playerView.player = player

        val dsf = DefaultDataSourceFactory(this, Util.getUserAgent(this, "ExoPlayerInfo"))
        //This line do the thing
        val mediaSource = ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(EncryptedFileDataSourceFactory(dsf.createDataSource())).createMediaSource(uri)
        player.prepare(mediaSource)
    }
