摘要

A computer-implemented method that includes receiving a request to generate an interface within a software application that is configured to play back one or more media files; for a first media file, generating an image representing a frame of the first media file; and causing the image to be displayed within the interface on a display device, where the image is configured to detect an event that causes a media player to be loaded into the software application behind the image.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving a request to generate an interface within a web browser application, wherein the interface has one or more sections in which a video file is to be played back; generating the interface within the web browser application; for a first video file, generating an image that includes a non-functional user interface of a media player superimposed on a frame of the first video file, the non-functional user interface including non-functional playback, volume, and video resolution controls, the image including a first portion representing a video control interface associated with the media player configured to play the first video file and a second portion representing the frame of the first video file; causing the image to be displayed within a first section of the interface; detecting a predetermined event at a time no media players are loaded into computer memory; and in response to detecting the predetermined event, loading the media player for the first time into computer memory, increasing the transparency of the image as the media player is loaded, and removing the image from the first section after the media player is loaded.
