MediaKeySession

The MediaKeySession interface of the Encrypted Media Extensions API represents a context for message exchange with a content decryption module (CDM). Available only in secure contexts.

Methods​

addEventListener()​

Call Signature​

addEventListener<K>(
type,
listener,
options?
): void;

The addEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface sets up a function that will be called whenever the specified event is delivered to the target.

MDN Reference

Type Parameters​
Type Parameter
K extends keyof MediaKeySessionEventMap
Parameters​
ParameterType
typeK
listener(this, ev) => any
options?boolean | AddEventListenerOptions
Returns​

void

Overrides​

EventTarget.addEventListener

Call Signature​

addEventListener(
type,
listener,
options?
): void;

The addEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface sets up a function that will be called whenever the specified event is delivered to the target.

MDN Reference

Parameters​
ParameterType
typestring
listenerEventListenerOrEventListenerObject
options?boolean | AddEventListenerOptions
Returns​

void

Overrides​
EventTarget.addEventListener

close()​

close(): Promise<void>;

The close() method of the MediaKeySession interface notifies that the current media session is no longer needed, and that the content decryption module should release any resources associated with this object and close it. Then, it returns a Promise.

MDN Reference

Returns​

Promise<void>


dispatchEvent()​

dispatchEvent(event): boolean;

The dispatchEvent() method of the EventTarget sends an Event to the object, (synchronously) invoking the affected event listeners in the appropriate order. The normal event processing rules (including the capturing and optional bubbling phase) also apply to events dispatched manually with dispatchEvent().

MDN Reference

Parameters​

ParameterType
eventEvent

Returns​

boolean

Inherited from​

EventTarget.dispatchEvent


generateRequest()​

generateRequest(initDataType, initData): Promise<void>;

The generateRequest() method of the MediaKeySession interface returns a Promise after generating a license request based on initialization data.

MDN Reference

Parameters​

ParameterType
initDataTypestring
initDataBufferSource

Returns​

Promise<void>


load()​

load(sessionId): Promise<boolean>;

The load() method of the MediaKeySession interface returns a Promise that resolves to a boolean value after loading data for a specified session object.

MDN Reference

Parameters​

ParameterType
sessionIdstring

Returns​

Promise<boolean>


remove()​

remove(): Promise<void>;

The remove() method of the MediaKeySession interface returns a Promise after removing any session data associated with the current object.

MDN Reference

Returns​

Promise<void>


removeEventListener()​

Call Signature​

removeEventListener<K>(
type,
listener,
options?
): void;

The removeEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface removes an event listener previously registered with EventTarget.addEventListener() from the target. The event listener to be removed is identified using a combination of the event type, the event listener function itself, and various optional options that may affect the matching process; see Matching event listeners for removal.

MDN Reference

Type Parameters​
Type Parameter
K extends keyof MediaKeySessionEventMap
Parameters​
ParameterType
typeK
listener(this, ev) => any
options?boolean | EventListenerOptions
Returns​

void

Overrides​

EventTarget.removeEventListener

Call Signature​

removeEventListener(
type,
listener,
options?
): void;

The removeEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface removes an event listener previously registered with EventTarget.addEventListener() from the target. The event listener to be removed is identified using a combination of the event type, the event listener function itself, and various optional options that may affect the matching process; see Matching event listeners for removal.

MDN Reference

Parameters​
ParameterType
typestring
listenerEventListenerOrEventListenerObject
options?boolean | EventListenerOptions
Returns​

void

Overrides​
EventTarget.removeEventListener

update()​

update(response): Promise<void>;

The update() method of the MediaKeySession interface loads messages and licenses to the CDM, and then returns a Promise.

MDN Reference

Parameters​

ParameterType
responseBufferSource

Returns​

Promise<void>

Properties​

closed​

readonly closed: Promise<MediaKeySessionClosedReason>;

The closed read-only property of the MediaKeySession interface returns a Promise signaling when a MediaKeySession closes. This promise can only be fulfilled and is never rejected. Closing a session means that licenses and keys associated with it are no longer valid for decrypting media data.

MDN Reference


expiration​

readonly expiration: number;

The expiration read-only property of the MediaKeySession interface returns the time after which the keys in the current session can no longer be used to decrypt media data, or NaN if no such time exists.

MDN Reference


keyStatuses​

readonly keyStatuses: MediaKeyStatusMap;

The keyStatuses read-only property of the MediaKeySession interface returns a reference to a read-only MediaKeyStatusMap of the current session's keys and their statuses.

MDN Reference


onkeystatuseschange​

onkeystatuseschange: ((this, ev) => any) | null;

MDN Reference


onmessage​

onmessage: ((this, ev) => any) | null;

MDN Reference


sessionId​

readonly sessionId: string;

The sessionId read-only property of the MediaKeySession interface contains a unique string generated by the content decryption module (CDM) for the current media object and its associated keys or licenses.
