Certain aspects of an apparatus and method for multiple media output may include a network comprising one or more media rendering devices communicably connected to a media manager. The media manager may be operable to separate a received single media signal into a first channel carrying a first content and a second channel carrying a second content. The media manager may be operable to wirelessly transmit first content via the first channel to a first media rendering device of the one or more media rendering devices and second content via the second channel to a second media rendering device of the one or more media rendering devices.

Method and apparatus for multiple media output

A method and device is provided for platform independent device communication by detecting a request at a processor-based device to perform a function, determining an external device corresponding to the request, retrieving a tag for the external device for performing a function corresponding to the request and generating a message implemented in XMPP, having embedded therein the tag, wherein the tag is essential at the external device for performing the function corresponding to the request. Receiving the message at a device, determining whether the message comprises a device message, retrieving a tag included in the message, wherein the tag corresponds to an executable command to perform a function and executing the tag to perform the function.
