Abstract
A media player, as may be employed in conjunction with a streaming media enhancement authoring application, is embedded in a browser window. A software program, operable to detect and extract information describing enhancements contained within an enhanced streaming media file and operable to generate HTML or other browser enhancement code to render the enhancements within the browser window as the enhanced streaming media file is played, is also embedded in the browser. The software program may be further operable, in response to enhancement information contained in a streaming media file, to pause a streaming media presentation, open a separate browser window, display a streaming media advertisement in the window, close the window, and resume display of the streaming media presentation. An editor is employed to perform any changes and the modified enhancement may be again viewed prior to viewing a next enhancement.
