Hi François, all, Sorry it's taken so long to follow up on this. I've just replied to our CTA WAVE contacts to invite more detail regarding the practical and interoperability issues mentioned in their survey, and to potentially set up a meeting between W3C and WAVE participants to discuss in more detail. Thanks, Chris ________________________________ From: François Daoust <fd@w3.org> Sent: 23 June 2025 13:28 To: public-media-wg@w3.org <public-media-wg@w3.org> Subject: WAVE Project liaison on Commercial DRM Testing External: Think before clicking Hello Media Working Group, We received an incoming liaison letter from the CTA WAVE Project, targeted at the Media Working Group, about the Encrypted Media Extensions specification that group works on. CTA WAVE is looking to extend the coverage of EME testing to include content protected by commercial DRM systems such as Fairplay, PlayReady and Widevine. CTA WAVE seeks input on people's experiences with the EME API to help guide this work. The letter includes the results of a recently completed survey that identifies imminent needs of the industry for testing different commercial DRM features. CTA WAVE is generally committed to extending the test suite for commercial DRM tests but looking for partners to help support the development financially. In addition to financial participation, they are looking for a license server that can be used for commercial DRM testing. See attached files for details. Testing individual commercial DRM systems is probably out of scope of the EME test suite in Web Platform Tests [1] but, beyond this letter, it may also be interesting to look back at the test suite and consider additional tests that could help catch interoperability issues in implementations.
