Claims20
A method of playing encoded data referred to in a content file played by a media player on a device, comprising:
- retrieving one or more content files from a remote storage device that have or refer to encoded data that is formatted for decompression using one or more local codecs available on the device;
- decoding the encoded data into a format associated with one of the local codecs to obtain decoded data;
- and
- playing the decoded data with the media player using one or more of a display or a speaker of the device.
A non-volatile storage on which electronic instructions are stored, the electronic instructions operable to cause a processor to perform operations comprising:
- retrieving one or more content files from a remote storage device that have or refer to encoded data that is formatted for decompression using one or more local codecs available on a device that includes the non-volatile storage;
- decoding the encoded data into a format associated with one of the local codecs to obtain decoded data;
- and
- playing the decoded data.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-volatile storage on which electronic instructions are stored, the electronic instructions operable to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- retrieving one or more content files from a remote storage device that have or refer to encoded data that is formatted for decompression using one or more local codecs available on the system;
- decoding the encoded data into a format associated with one of the local codecs to obtain decoded data;
- and
- playing the decoded data.
