1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request to retrieve an existing electronic file for displaying an image on a client device, the existing electronic file conforming to a file format for presenting multimedia content using content player software on the client device;
analyzing at least one of the request or the existing electronic file to;
identify at least one data component necessary to display the image, the at least one identified data component providing data for use by the content player software, in combination with the existing electronic file, to generate the image, wherein the at least one identified data component includes at least one of skin data or image viewer configuration data;
modifying the electronic file to include the at least one identified data component; and
