Abstract
An architecture is provided for displaying a list of connected devices by generating a first list of devices connected to the same local network and scanning for devices within a defined physical range of a media playback device. A second list of devices within the defined physical range is generated and compared to the first list to create a third list of devices with overlapping identifiers. The media playback device then displays the third list of devices on its interface according to proximity for the user to select an appropriate device for media playback.
