Method for processing media content, control point, media server, and media renderer

摘要

A method for processing media content is provided. The method includes sending a control command to a media renderer in a home area network, where the control command is used to instruct the media renderer to request authentication with an authentication server; determining a content list, where the content list includes media content items that can be played by media renderers authenticated; displaying the content list to a user; and sending, according to target media content that the user selects to play from the content list and a target media renderer that the user selects for playing the target media content, a uniform resource identifier of the target media content to the target media renderer, so that the target media renderer acquires and plays the target media content. As such, media content selected by a user can be played by an authenticated media renderer.

1. A method for processing media content, comprising:
acquiring identity information of media renderers authenticated by an authentication server and a second content list comprising all or a part of media content items on a media server; acquiring, according to the identity information, capability information of the media renderers authenticated by the authentication server; generating a first content list, according to the capability information and the second content list, by matching the capability information of the media renderers to the media content items in the second content list, wherein the first content list comprises media content items that can be played by the media renderers authenticated by the authentication server; displaying the first content list to a user, wherein the first content list is displayed to the user on a user interface, wherein the user interface comprises a first section and a second section, wherein the first section displays a first media content item and effective media renderers for the first media content item, wherein the effective media renderers for the first media content item comprise a first portion of the media renderers that have an online status and that have a capability and authorization to play the first media content item, wherein the second section displays a second media content item and effective media renderers for the second media content item, wherein the effective media renderers for the second media content item comprise a second portion of the media renderers that have the online status and that have a capability and authorization to play the second media content item, and wherein the first portion of the media renderers and the second portion of the media renderers have different numbers of media renderers; and sending, according to target media content that the user selects to play from the first content list and a target media renderer that the user selects for playing the target media content, a uniform resource identifier of the target media content to the target media renderer such that the target media renderer acquires and plays the target media content.
