Playback Issues for DRM content when sending CMCD

Since iOS and tvOS 18, CMCD can now be automatically sent by AVPlayer (https://developer.apple.com/streaming/Whats-new-HLS.pdf).

However, after enabling CMCD, our streams occasionally fail with the following error: CoreMediaErrorDomain Error -17383

This issue appears to affect only DRM-protected (FairPlay) streams so far.

We activate CMCD via the resource loader of an AVURLAsset, before assigning the item to an AVPlayer.

Unfortunately, we haven’t found a reliable way to reproduce the issue, and we’ve been unable to gather any useful diagnostic information.

Has anyone else observed this behavior when enabling CMCD on FairPlay streams?

Hello @devMaik, thank you for your post. I understand you are not able to reproduce the issue consistently, but please use Feedback Assistant to submit a bug report and post here the FB number for my reference.
