What is PlayReady?

Microsoft is committed to partnering with a range of companies in the content delivery sector to ensure that users can access top-notch content seamlessly, whether they are at home or on the move, and regardless of the device or service they choose. The introduction of CBC-S support in software clients marks a major upgrade, enabling PlayReady Server to function effectively on Linux while achieving notable performance gains through asynchronous processing. Moreover, numerous enhancements have been introduced to meet the demands of content owners for high-definition formats such as 1080p and 4K, while also providing robust protection for early window content. To further encourage the integration of PlayReady and HTML5 EME across devices like smartphones, smart TVs, and set-top boxes, Microsoft intends to provide an extensive toolkit designed to facilitate the incorporation of PlayReady into modern browsers on these platforms. This suite of tools is expected to simplify development workflows and lighten the load for ecosystem partners, which will empower service providers to stream premium video content directly through web browsers, thus eliminating the necessity for external plug-ins. Ultimately, this initiative not only improves convenience for users but also enhances the availability of high-quality content across a wide array of devices, fostering a more connected and accessible viewing experience. By prioritizing these efforts, Microsoft aims to redefine the landscape of digital content consumption.
