Abstract
A method for enabling streaming to a media player without native streaming support is disclosed. Step (A) of the method may author a media file based on a content signal. The media file may have an indexed format compatible with the media player. The content signal may (i) be received from a remote server through a network, (ii) use a transfer protocol and format at least one of which is incompatible with the media player and (iii) convey both video data and audio data representative of a scene. Step (B) may generate a local signal carrying the media file. The local signal generally has a transfer protocol compatible with the media player. Step (C) may transfer the local signal to the media player while the content signal is being received. The media player generally recreates the video data as a visual depiction on a display based on the local signal.
