Research direction

The issue asks how to play AES encrypted HLS video using JavaCV. First, review JavaCV's FFmpegFrameGrabber and related examples to understand current capabilities. Then, search the JavaCV GitHub issues for previous discussions on HLS or encryption. If no solution exists, the next step would be to check FFmpeg's official documentation for decryption key management and see if JavaCV's FFmpeg bindings expose those options. Consider posting a detailed question on Stack Overflow or filing a feature request if the functionality is missing.
