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 method may involve storing, by a computing system, 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, and sending a message over a wide area network that indicates at least a portion of the local-media index to the media playback system. Another example method may involve, determining that a first local-media index is inaccessible over a wide area network to the media playback system, and then providing an identification of at least one multimedia item based on a second local-media index.

1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a control device of a media playback system, input data that causes the control device to access a first local-media index that identifies a plurality of multimedia items which are stored within a local area network, wherein the first local-media index is stored on a computing device that is not within the local area network; determining that the first local-media index is inaccessible over the wide area network to the media playback system, wherein the media playback system comprises one or more playback devices; and after determining that the first local-media index is inaccessible, providing an identification of at least one multimedia item based on a second local-media index that identifies a portion of the plurality of multimedia items.
