For embedded devices (smart TVs, etc.), what model and firmware version are you using?

What are the manifest and license server URIs?

I'm using the Axinom test vectors. You can find the demo as well the URLs here -> https://github.com/subhanahmed047/shaka-player-demo/blob/main/index.js#L1-L8

What configuration are you using? What is the output of player.getNonDefaultConfiguration()?

 player.configure({
        drm: {
            servers: {
                [keySystem]: licenseServerUrl,
            },
        },
        preferredVideoCodecs: ['avc1.640028'],
    })

What did you do?

Simply run the above-mentioned demo.

What did you expect to happen?
I expected to see the playback. The current version I'm running with working playback is v4.7.11.

What actually happened?

I get the following error:

Failed to execute 'webkitGenerateKeyRequest' on 'HTMLMediaElement': The key system provided ('com.microsoft.playready') is not supported.

This exact error has been fixed in the past here -> #6558

However back then the issue would come up as a 4032 error instead of the 6006 error.

Are you planning to send a PR to fix it?
Maybe, I just wanted to raise this issue to see if I can get some pointers.

@subhanahmed047 tbh it looks like PlayReady is not supported anymore on WebOS, but that would be very surprising. Can you show us a result of shaka.Player.probeSupport()? You can also try to run https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/support.html on a TV.

Where have you seen that it is not supported? According to the webos developers it is supported... https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/specifications/streaming-protocol-drm

@avelad I meant this particular device claims it's not supported, I haven't seen any indication of that on LG documentation. We need to find out is it really not supported sometimes or do we have some issue in our polyfill.
