Yeah, it was just a prototype to protect live video streaming on Android devices... Performance was pretty bad and so the frame rate was pretty low. I think it would work decently for desktop Flash. JW Player have a HLS plugin for Flash which is pretty good, a lot more fleshed out than my prototype ended up being.

Apple do something similar http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Networ... this approach is more secure than what we de (Restrict access to the manifest file and have Flash request the current key when needed at runtime).

I can see that that could work on a locked down iOS device but a rooted android phone would surely be able to access to manifest file and make a copy of the keys and stream contents.

After all you only need one device to copy the stream and re-stream DRM free to others.
