Abstract
System and methods for initiating a media streaming device, particularly for devices associated with a guest services environment. Such initiation may include: receiving, at a proxy server, a request from a mobile device to join a guest services network, the request identifying a user of the mobile device; verifying a registration of the user, the registration indicating permission of the user to join the guest services network, to yield a verification; identifying, based on the verification, a media streaming device associated with the registration of the user; and configuring the media streaming device to be controllable by the mobile device, such that control commands are routed from the mobile device through the proxy server to the media streaming device, and streaming content is routed from the Internet to the media streaming device bypassing the proxy server.
