Remote Storage and Provisioning of Local-Media Index

摘要

Embodiments described herein involve remote storage and provisioning of a local-media index. An example implementation may involve a computing system storing a local-media index that identifies a plurality of multimedia items that are stored within a local area network and accessible within the local area network by a playback device of a media playback system within the local area network. The example implementation may also involve the computing system sending a message over a wide area network that indicates at least a portion of the local-media index to the media playback system, perhaps based on a request to provide the local-media index (or a portion thereof) to the media playback system.

1. A method comprising:
storing, via a computing system in one or more physical data storages, a local-media index that identifies a plurality of multimedia items that are (1) stored within a local area network, and (2) accessible within the local area network by a playback device of a media playback system within the local area network; and sending, by the computing system via a wide area network, a message that indicates at least a portion of the local-media index to the media playback system.
