# Video streams on samsung SSSP

Samsung **Smart Signage Platform (SSSP)** devices support **video streaming**, including **HLS streams and Lynk DRM encryption**.

***

## **Playing HLS Streams on Samsung SSSP**

If the **HLS stream URL does not end with `.m3u8`**, follow these steps:

1. **Manually modify the URL** using Samsung’s notation.
2. **Add `|COMPONENT=HLS`** at the end of the stream URL.

### **Example:**

```
http://<server>:<port>/<path>|COMPONENT=HLS
```

***

## **Lynk DRM Protocol Support**

Samsung **Lynk DRM** (Digital Rights Management) allows playback of **encrypted video streams**.

To enable **Lynk DRM**, you must modify the stream URL by adding **query options**:

| **Query Option** | **Description**                                                                                 |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **lynk\_server** | Specifies the Lynk DRM server location.                                                         |
| **lynk\_type**   | Defines if the stream is **encrypted** or **normal**. (Defaults to **unencrypted** if not set). |

***

## **Lynk DRM Stream URL Examples**

### **Example 1: Default Lynk DRM Usage**

```
http://server.nds.local/stream1.mp4?lynk_server
```

* **Lynk DRM server address is not specified**, so the system **automatically** uses the host of the stream (`server.nds.local`).
* Since **`lynk_type` is not defined**, the system assumes **unencrypted content**.

### **Example 2: Specifying a Lynk DRM Server**

```
http://server.nds.local/stream1.mp4?lynk_server=lynkserver.nds.local:8080
```

* **Lynk DRM server explicitly set** to `lynkserver.nds.local`.
* **Port 8080 is used for connection**.

### **Example 3: Playing Encrypted Streams**

```
http://server.nds.local/stream1.mp4?lynk_server=lynkserver.nds.local:8080&lynk_type=encrypted
```

* **Lynk DRM server is defined (`lynkserver.nds.local:8080`)**.
* **`lynk_type=encrypted`** ensures **decryption key retrieval** from the Lynk DRM server.

## **Considerations for Streaming on Samsung SSSP**

* **HLS streams must be formatted correctly** using `|COMPONENT=HLS`.
* **Lynk DRM-protected content requires a properly configured server**.
* **Incorrect DRM settings will prevent playback**.
