    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically establishing communications with a media device. One method involves a client device capturing and analyzing an image of a media device to obtain identification information associated with the media device, automatically configuring a network interface of the client device to communicate on a wireless network using at least a portion of the identification information associated with the media device obtained from the captured image, and thereafter establishing a peer-to-peer communication session with the media device via the wireless network. In one or more embodiments, a name or other identifier associated with the wireless network includes the portion of the identification information.
