Media Shaka

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Shaka Packager is Google's production DRM packager — the same tool used by YouTube, Netflix-style pipelines, and most commercial OTT stacks. It does NOT re-encode: inputs must already be encoded at the bitrates/resolutions you want to ship. It outputs encrypted CMAF (fMP4) segments plus DASH .mpd and HLS .m3u8 manifests that point at the SAME encrypted files.

Quick start

• Test encryption (no license server): ClearKey → Step 3 (CENC recipe)
• Production Widevine (Google/YouTube): Step 5 (license-server integration)
• Multi-DRM DASH+HLS for studio OTT: cbcs + Widevine + PlayReady → Step 4
• FairPlay (Apple HLS): cbcs + SAMPLE-AES → Step 6
• Inspect, validate, generate keys: scripts/shaka.py subcommands
