Preventing HTTP Live Streaming video in an iOS 8 app from being captured during screen recording on Yosemite

Q:  How can I prevent my iOS 8 app's streaming video media from being captured by QuickTime Player on Yosemite during screen recording?

A: HTTP Live Streams that have their media encrypted will not be recorded by QuickTime Player on Yosemite while screen recording. These will be blacked out in the recording.

To learn more about using encrypted media with HTTP Live Streaming, see the HTTP Live Streaming Guide and HTTP Live Streaming Internet Draft.
