Streaming Tech Sweden 2026

This session explores both current and emerging innovations in media streaming players. We introduce the Common Media Library as a foundation for maintaining and distributing shared player functionalities. Moreover, we highlight key industry trends including Low-Latency Low-Delay (L3D) DASH, the next evolution of Common Media Client Data (CMCD) in version 2, Server-Guided Ad Insertion (SGAI), and Content Steering. Wherever suitable, concepts are illustrated through short live demonstrations, with a particular emphasis on practical playback scenarios using the DASH reference player dash.js.

DRM License Scraping has become one of the most dangerous and scalable piracy threats facing premium streaming platforms today. Rather than attacking encryption directly, modern attackers target the DRM license workflow itself, extracting usable content keys from compromised devices, emulators, or automated scraping environments. This type of attack is especially damaging because a single exposed device or workflow weakness can rapidly scale into large-scale decryption and mass redistribution of protected content.

This session examines how DRM License Scraping works in real-world deployments and why traditional DRM defenses are no longer sufficient. It highlights the challenges of securing license delivery across heterogeneous devices and platforms, and provides insight into practical mitigation strategies that strengthen key protection, reduce the blast radius of compromised devices, and improve the overall resilience of DRM ecosystems against automated key theft.

Vindral committed to implementing MoQ end-to-end — contribution, fanout, and last-mile delivery — while the specification was still being written. This session covers the engineering decisions made under that constraint, and will share insights on performance differences and device support.

When we set out to rebuild the world’s most widely used open source video player, we had grand visions of the amazing developer experience we were creating, the many thousands of devs who would be reading our carefully crafted docs, and also the looming repetitive coding of features the team had already built in 5 different players before. Then Opus 4.6 dropped and the world turned upside down.

Traffic to the website was down because fewer people are reading docs for themselves anymore. We found ourselves reviewing plans more than PRs, while our completed story points were increasing weekly. We haven’t abandoned our developer audience, but there’s a new user in town that demands attention, and here’s what we did in response.
