External services
This plugin relies on the BMDRM (video-crypt.com) third party service to deliver DRM-protected video playback. It is required for the plugin to function: without it, no video can be played.
What the service is and what it is used for: BMDRM is a commercial DRM and secure video streaming service provided by BMDRM. The plugin uses it to request a short-lived, secure playback session URL for each embedded video. The returned URL is then loaded inside an iframe so the end user can watch the DRM-protected video.
