Regarding 2015 and 2016 SamsungTVs: the implementation of EME v0.1b is incomplete/incorrect: Tizen’s video element implementation declares msPrefixed EME methods and events. That’s the reason Youtube test page and Shaka Player support page report positive. But the implementations are empty, and I get an empty challenge on the license request event.
In addition, the drm engine seems to support Playready, and not Widevine as advertised: you can play Playready DASH (and HSS) content in a “native” Tizen application, which is an Html + Javascript application that calls native Tizen Javascript Extensions, and can be developed with the Tizen IDE.
Note Shaka v2.0.1 introduced a fix for Toshiba TV, which seemed to have similar problems with eme v0.1b. But unfortunately it doesn’t fix the problems for Samsung TV.
Tizen 2.4 is based on EME v0.1b (non-object-oriented) with a webkit prefix same a Safari. Tizen 3.0 works with current polyfill (ClearKey on emulator and ClearKey /Widevine on TV).
According to http://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/specifications/general-features, Samsung Smart TV 2016 uses Tizen 2.4 and Samsung Smart TV 2017 uses TIzen 3.0
Note: Tizen 2.4 uses JSC as javascript engine. Tizen 3.0 uses V8 as javascript engine.
