And from that day on, ArtHouse Stream never saw the 6001 error again—except once, when a user tried to watch a movie on a 2012 smart TV. But that's a story for another night.
The next morning, Maya documented the incident for her team:
Maya was a software engineer for a small but ambitious streaming startup called "ArtHouse Stream." Their specialty was rare, cult classic films. One Friday night, she got a frantic call from her boss.
player.configure({ drm: { servers: { 'com.widevine.alpha': 'https://license.arthouse.com/widevine' } } }); The problem? The manifest file for Cybernetic Vampire III (and several other 4K remasters) contained multiple DRM schemes. But the player was asking for Widevine. When Widevine wasn't available (or the license server was down for that key system), Shaka threw the REQUESTED_KEY_SYSTEM_CONFIG_UNAVAILABLE error because it had no fallback.
