Abstract
A method is performed at a first electronic device associated with a user. The method includes displaying a webpage including a control element associated with media content provided by a media server. The webpage originates from a webpage server distinct from the media server. The method includes receiving a user input selecting the control element, and, in response to the user input: sending a media control request to the media server, the media control request configured to cause the media server to perform a media control operation to control presentation of the media content at a second electronic device associated with the user, wherein the second electronic device is distinct from the first electronic device; and sending, to the second electronic device, a local media control request via a local network. The local media control request is configured to cause performance of the same media control operation.
