Abstract
Techniques for improving media applications are described. In an example, a system presents content based on an execution of a media application that includes a first streaming protocol library. This execution includes streaming the content based on the first streaming protocol library. The system receives a user interaction with the media application indicating a request for a media player to present the content. The system receives, from the media application, content information about the content and selects a second streaming protocol library from a plurality of streaming protocol libraries of the media player. The second streaming protocol library corresponds to the first streaming protocol library. The system presents the content based on an execution of the media player and on the content information. This execution includes streaming the content based on the second streaming protocol library.
