Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a machine-readable storage medium, including executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations that include receiving a request for a video-on-demand session through a selected video-application provided at a media processor, instantiating an instance of the selected video-application as an instantiated video-application, wherein the instantiated video-application loads a decryption algorithm for the video-on-demand session, receiving video data from a video service associated with the instantiated video-application, applying the decryption algorithm on the video data to generate decoded video content, and providing the decoded video content to the media processor. Other embodiments are disclosed.
