At the beginning of decryption, the decryption module connects to a back-end server and verifies some other information before letting the user play the video.</div><div><br></div><div>Will I be able to achieve these two objectives, if I go DVB-CSA/TS way?</div><div><br></div><div>Remi. You mentioned something about implementing a stream filter. Will it work for my needs? Where can I find
