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 OptionDescription
lynk_serverSpecifies the Lynk DRM server location.
lynk_typeDefines 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.
