Abstract
Implementations disclose merged video streaming, authorization, and metadata request. A method includes receiving, by a streaming server, a first request to view a media item from a client device via a connection between the client device and the streaming server, and sending a second request to an authorization server to verify that the client device is authorized to play the media item. The method further includes: prior to receiving a response from the authorization server, providing an encrypted portion of the media item to the client device via the connection, receiving, from the authorization server, a verification that the client device is authorized to play the media item, and sending, via the connection between the client device and the streaming server, a cryptography key for decrypting the encrypted portion of the media item to the client device.
