    Abstract: Methods, systems, and/or devices for controlling media presentation at a shared media presentation system are described herein. To that end, an electronic device defines a distance-related access restriction between a media presentation system and a second electronic device. The device selects one or more access control settings for the media presentation system to be controlled by the second electronic device. The device receives a request, from the second electronic device, to control playback at the media presentation system. In accordance with a determination that the second electronic device meets the distance-related access restriction, the device provides authorization for the second electronic device to access the media presentation system using media control requests that comply with the one or more access control settings selected by the electronic device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and/or devices for controlling media presentation at a shared media presentation system are described herein. In one aspect, a server system authorizes a first electronic device associated with a first user to control a media presentation system. A request to indicate availability of the media presentation system for use by one or more other electronic devices is received from a first electronic device. An authentication token for the media presentation system is sent to the first electronic device. Furthermore, a media control request including the authentication token is received from a second electronic device that is one of the one or more other electronic devices. In accordance with a determination that the authentication token permits access to the media presentation system, the server system sends a command corresponding to the media control request to the media presentation system.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for client-initiated playlist shuffle in a media content environment. A shuffle logic is configured to provide a shuffle order for a plurality of media content items, including associating each media content item with a placement interval within which the media content item can be placed, and a weight that determines the average position of the placement interval; associating each media content item with a random value that indicates a random offset or position within its placement interval; calculating an ordering score for each media content item based on its weight plus its random offset into its placement interval; collecting indications for the plurality of media content item that reflect their ordering scores; and placing the plurality of media content items into the shuffle order, for subsequent playback by a media device.

    Abstract: An electronic device, while providing a first playlist for playback by a media device, maintains a play queue for a first user that is initially populated with a list of media content items to be played by the media device, the initially populated list of media content items including media content items distinct from the first playlist and selected by the first user and media content items from the first playlist. The electronic device receives a request to change playback from the first playlist to a second playlist different from the first playlist. In response to the request to change the playback from the first playlist to the second playlist, the electronic device maintains, in the play queue, the media content items selected by the first user while changing playback from the first playlist to the second playlist.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for use of cyclic play queues in a media content environment. A cyclic list data structure that can be initially populated with a list of media content items to be played at a media device, exposes a cyclic list of sequences of media content items, and supports operations to modify portions of the cyclic list to provide a cyclic play queue of media content items. When changes are made to an underlying play queue or context, the system performs a three-way merge of sequences of media content items within the cyclic list, to provide a modified play queue, for example with the left sequence being an updated playlist, and the right sequence being a patch window that reflects a user's changes to the play queue.
