Method of sizing an embedded media player page
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of displaying video data using a media player embedded within a web page, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, using at least one processor, frame dimensional data for a first video file from a database, said database including frame dimensional data indexed therein for a plurality of video files, said plurality of video files including said first video file, said plurality of video files being retrievable from at least one video server through a network;
launching said media player within said web page; and
when a user selects to render said video file, automatically sizing said web page and a display area of said media player based upon said received frame dimensional data for said first video file.

Abstract
In a method of displaying video data using an embedded media player page, frame dimensional data for a first video file is received from a database. The database includes frame dimensional data indexed therein for a plurality of video files. The plurality of video files includes the first video file, and the plurality of video files is retrievable from at least one video server through a communications network. A media player is launched within the embedded media player page. A video display area of the media player is sized based upon the received frame dimensional data. The video data from the first video file is displayed within the video display area.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer program code for directing a processor to display video data in an embedded media player page, comprising:
-
a first code segment for receiving frame dimensional data for a first video file from a database, said database including frame dimensional data indexed therein for a plurality of video files, said plurality of video files including said first video file and a second video file, said plurality of video files being retrievable from at least one video server through a network, said frame dimensional data associated with said first video file and said second video file; a second code segment for dynamically launching a media player within said embedded media player page; a third code segment for, when a user selects to render said first video file, automatically sizing a display area of said media player based upon said received frame dimensional data for said first video file; a fourth code segment for receiving frame dimensional data for said second video file from said database; and a fifth code segment for resizing said embedded media player page and said display area of said media player based upon said received frame dimensional data for said second video file, wherein the display area of said media player upon sizing is different from the display area of said media player upon resizing. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31, 32)
