Abstract
The subject matter of the present disclosure can be implemented by, among other things, a remote control application executed by a mobile device to identify media player devices connected to a network, present the media player devices for selection in a user interface (UI), receive a selection of multiple media player devices via the UI, and receive a unique group identifier associated with the multiple media player devices from a network service. By transmitting a message containing the unique group identifier and control information to the network service, a media playback by the multiple media player devices is controlled by the remote control application.
