Systems and methods are provided for securely providing a place-shifted media stream from a place shifting device (108) to a remote player (112) via a communications network (102). A request for a connection (306) is received from the remote player at the place shifting device via the communications network. In response to the request for the connection (308), an authorization credential is requested (310) from a central server via the communications network. Further, in response to the authorization credential received from the central server, the place-shifted media stream (412) between the place shifting device and the remote player can be established over the communications network. At least a portion of the place-shifted media stream may be encrypted (325) based upon the authorization credential. |
