EventTarget MediaKeySession

Instance properties

MediaKeySession.closed Read only

Returns a Promise signaling when a MediaKeySession closes. This promise can only be fulfilled and is never rejected. Closing a session means that licenses and keys associated with it are no longer valid for decrypting media data.

MediaKeySession.expiration Read only

The time after which the keys in the current session can no longer be used to decrypt media data, or NaN if no such time exists. This value is determined by the CDM and measured in milliseconds since January 1, 1970, UTC. This value may change during a session lifetime, such as when an action triggers the start of a window.

MediaKeySession.keyStatuses Read only

Contains a reference to a read-only MediaKeyStatusMap of the current session's keys and their statuses.

MediaKeySession.sessionId Read only

Contains a unique string generated by the CDM for the current media object and its associated keys or licenses.
