Can anyone suggest me options for developing a cross-platform desktop application (MacOS & Windows8.1+) which supports DRM playback.
I have looked into ElectronJS (does not support DRM inbuilt), Used castlabs fork of Electron with VMP enabled Widevine DRM support but getting a production ready license cert from Google Widevine takes ages.
So looking into more options where DRM playback (PlayReady, Widevine & FairPlay) can be enabled.
Since you already know of the Castlabs Electron fork. I don't think you are going to find a better solution really.
You can always license PlayReady and port it to all the platforms you want to support, the licensing for that is straightforward but the actual implementation would require a large amount of effort. It would likely be easier to just try and embed Chromeless Safari and Chromeless Edge on the respective platforms.
Considering the simple-graphic turn-based games such as card games, backgammon, ... we can see most of them are still developed using Flash or other plugin-based solutions instead of pure JavaScript (Ajax/WebSocket).
I want to know what is the reason? Is the connectivity between a flash game and the server more reliable than the connectivity between JavaScript API (Ajax/WebSocket) and the server?
If no, why is the reason that still most of the card games (let say those we can see on Facebook) are developed using Flash?
The target audience of Facebook-games is very wide, from people with the latest and greatest technology to people who are still using Windows XP with IE8.
As you will almost definitely know, IE8 does not support newer technologies such as websockets/HTML5. It is even troublesome in IE9. Thus, the developers of the Facebook games build their games in Flash as that is a technology which will run in both older versions of IE and in the latest versions of Google Chrome. They can target a much bigger audience using Flash as when they were using HTML5.
We need to play Widevine or/and Verimatrix DRM content on Windows 8 modern application. Will we have some problems with this? If yes, what are the solutions to achieve this goal? Will we need to buy some more product?
According to their site, Widevine support Microsoft Windows, but I didn't find any explicit mention of Windows 8 there.
However, to the best of my knowledge they have been supporting Windows 8 almost right from the start.
For an official answer, you should just ask them directly.
What is best way to develop for nokia phones ?
symbian programing or html applications ?
how to start symbian programming. i am not able to find the nokia carbide software anymore. which software is used to program ?
In my opinion, Symbian programming is the way to go for Nokia applications because you can create more visually appealing applications in less time using QT. Check out their QT platform which makes it easier for developers to start programming for Nokia devices and deploy to OVI store. You may want to start at http://www.forum.nokia.com/Develop/Qt/
If you want to know your options and the tools associated with them (Either developing in Symbian, Web or Java), you can check out their Developer website at http://www.forum.nokia.com/Develop/
here the downloadlinks:

hope that helps
Has anyone tried the new OVI SDK for Symbian development?
What are your experiences?
Do you believe that it can help Nokia get more programmers building applications for Symbian based devices, or do you consider Flash Lite, Java or Python to be best choices?
As I understand it the Ovi SDK is a web based framework similar to or built on WRT. This certainly fills a niche. My worry is that it will be tied to Nokia handsets only, and won't work with the other Symbian devices.
WRT, Python, Qt+Symbian C++ seem like safer bets for cross device compatibility.
