Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of media player technologies include a downloadable URL generation system. An online hosting service receives a request including a media identifier (ID). In response to the request, media items associated with the media ID are retrieved. At least some of the retrieved media items are associated with different playback contexts. A playlist summary is generated based on the media ID and at least one of the different playback contexts. The playlist summary includes at least one media reference that can be used to retrieve at least one media item that matches the media ID and at least one of the different playback contexts. A downloadable URL is generated, which includes the media ID and the playlist summary. The downloadable URL is sent to the user device in response to the request.
