<p>A system and method for managing media content between media devices is disclosed. In a centralized embodiment, a server monitors the media devices actively connected to the network and maintains information on each of the active media devices. The information includes the functions of each of the active media devices for processing media content. The server receives a request for media content and determines functions required to process the media content. The server then determines which of the active media devices have the required functions to process the media content and sends instructions to the determined media devices to configure processing of the media content. In response, the determined media devices process the media content, and the processed media content is delivered at the requesting media device. In a decentralized embodiment, the functions performed by the server are distributed among the various devices of the network.</p> |
