23 April 2015 20 October 2014 30 June 2010This invention relates to a system for displaying video content streamed from a network in a full screen mode. The system receives receiving a network address based on a selection from a user. The system then transmits a request for content from the network address and subsequently receives the content associated with the network address. A search is performed on the content for data that provides displaying a video content in a full screen mode. Upon detecting the data, the process generates the data and displays video content in full screen mode.
