In DRM-protected files, usually there's a Clear Lead -- the first few seconds are clear. It allows playback to start without having to wait for license response, improving video start time (and user experience).The question is, therefore: if a stream has clear lead, will AVPlayer start playing without waiting for response from the DRM server?

In online playback with FairPlay, if the license duration is very short (for example, 90 seconds in a one-hour asset) - will AVPlayer stop the playback in the middle?In my experience, it doesn't - but maybe we're doing something wrong when building the license on our KSM.According to the FPS PG, there are 3 types of duration:Content key durationLease DurationRental DurationWhat's the purpose of each? It's not very clear in the guide.Which one of them should be set if I want the playback to halt mid-stream when the license expires (if at all possible)?Thanks, Noam.
