Media players for digital display devices using proxy services for offline capability

Abstract:

This disclosure involves generating and configuring a media player within a web browser of a digital display device. A media player is loaded within a web page executed by the digital display device. The media player initiates execution of a proxy service by registering the proxy service with the web browser. The proxy service intercepts network requests from the media player and redirects them to local storage to enable offline capability. The media player registers with a cloud media network, and in response, receives access credentials. The media player passes the access credentials to the proxy service. The media player and proxy service access the cloud media network using the access credentials to download media content and application files respectively. The proxy service uses the application files to load a new instance of the media player during a network disruption. The media player then initiates playback of the media content.
