I need to load HTTP video resources

[AlexanderDLe]

Hello, our media server is HTTP and it serves video files over http. However, it seems Dash requires the website to be loaded via HTTPS to work properly. Due to this conflicting nature, we receive Mixed Content (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Mixed_content) issues.

Is it possible to use the DASH player on HTTP websites?

Thank you.

You can use dash.js player to load http content (this includes things like UTC Time references and DRm keys) as long as it is hosted on a http website. Here is an example of it playing under http only:

Thanks for the response, it is much appreciated.

My apologies, I should've mentioned this critical piece of info. I am trying to serve DRM-protected content, and that page you send me to has the following:

"This page has been loaded under http. This can result in the EME APIs not being available to the player and any DRM-protected content will fail to play. If you wish to test manifest URLs that require EME support, then reload this page under https."

Google Chrome requires applications to be hosted via https for the EME to be available. Consequently, you need to serve everything via https for DRM to work. This is not the case for Firefox, there it should work with http.
