Zusammenfassung:	There is provided a method of delivering media content on a device. A request to stream media content is received at the device. At least a first portion of the requested media content is retrieved from a local media store of the device. The at least a first portion of the requested media content is delivered to a media player of the device for playback. In parallel to the delivery of the at least a first portion of the requested media content, at least a second portion of the requested media content is downloaded from a remote media store to the device. HLS streaming is extended to encompass both pre-download and real-time streaming modes. In addition, retrieved media content is protected from illegal copying, as the device is registered with a certificate authority and authenticated on key servers. The operations may be entirely transparent to the media player.
