playing some sort of encrypted audio about aurora.js HOT 2 CLOSED

Sounds like something that should be doable, but cryptography with JS isn't secure for DRM or against man-in-the-middle attacks.

I'm still going through the docs and all, but basically I want to deliver a file from a server (say like you would normally do with an mp3) but add some sort of on the fly encryption (something simple for starters, say delivering a base64 string representation of the mp3 file) and play it on the client

Can you guys tell me if this is even remotely possible using this framework?

Yeah, that should be possible. It's not something that we'll add to the core framework, but easily accomplished using a third party library. Basically, you need to put something between the source and the demuxer. You can that by wrapping the source class you want to use (e.g. HTTPSource), receiving data events from the wrapped source and doing your decryption, then finally re-emitting data events. Since your wrapper will basically act as a source, make sure you implement the methods described here and basically call the implementations of the original source from them.

Hope that wasn't too complicated an explanation. The basic gist is that you wrap the source to do some processing before emitting data events. Good luck!
