Abstract: A system and a method transfer media content. An application may identify rendering devices in a network and/or may register with an events framework for media-related actions. The application may receive information for a media- related action which specifies media content and an action. The application may identify one or more of the rendering devices as capable of rendering the media content and may use a communication to direct the identified rendering device to render the media content. The identified rendering device may render the media content in response to the communication from the application.

Abstract: A system and a method control and/or manage metadata of multimedia. The metadata is information and/or is data relating to, based on and/or associated with the multimedia. The metadata of the multimedia is accessed, is identified and/or is transferred to one or more terminals independently with respect to the multimedia, a content service associated with the multimedia and/or a media store. The system and the method organize, control and/or manage one or more subscriptions to one or more content services and/or media stores. The system and the method change between one or more content services and/or one or more media stores to transfer the metadata to and/or from one or more users and/or a source independently and/or separately from the multimedia. The system and the method procures, obtains, accesses and shares the metadata with the multimedia, the content service, the one or more users, the source and/or a provider. As a result, the metadata of the multimedia is portable with respect to one or more users, one or more terminals, the source, the provider and/or the content service. The users share, transfer, transmit and/or access the metadata via databases, terminals, servers and/or networks independent and/or separately with respect to the multimedia.

Abstract: A system and a method identify common media content with two or more terminals that are remote with respect to each other for users to access, to consume and/or to experience a multimedia file of the common media content. A first terminal of a first user connects to and/or invites a second terminal of a second user to participate in a shared viewing session of the multimedia file via a network. The first terminal transmits information associated with the multimedia file to the second terminal for the second terminal Ío determine whether a version of the multimedia file is accessible and is consumable by the second terminal. The second terminal procures and/or accesses the version of the multimedia file from a network provider via the network. A list of the common media content to the first terminal and to the second terminal is displayed via the first terminal and the second terminal. An attribute and/or data associated with the multimedia file, the first user and/or the second user may be displayed and/or may be identified via the list of common media content. The first terminal and the second terminal may be synchronized for the first user and for the second user to experience the multimedia file via the shared viewing session. A communication associated with the multimedia file, may be transmitted between the first terminal and the second terminal via a shared communication channel over the network before, during and/or after a playback of the multimedia file. A third user determines whether to associate with the first user and/or the second user based on the attributes of and/or the data of the multimedia file and/or the list of the common media content for the first terminal and/or the second terminal.

Abstract: A system and a method deliver media content based on a subscription of a first user to a media provider (figure 1 ). The first user (11 ) accesses and/or consumes the media content from the media provider (12a, 12b) based on the subscription with one or more terminals at one or more locations. The first user accesses a list of media content available for consumption from the media provider based on the subscription of the first user. The list of media content available is accessed by and displayed to the first user on an electronic program guide via one or more terminals at one or more locations. The first user accesses and consumes a multimedia file from the list of media content available based on the subscription of the first user via one or more terminals at one or more locations. The first user and/or a second user consumes and/or experiences the multimedia file via a terminal of the second user based on the subscription of the first user. The first user stores the list of media content available and/or the multimedia file in the storage device associated with the first user via one or more terminals at one or more locations.

Abstract: A system and a method provide virtual storage for media service on a portable device. The system and the method for virtual storage for media service on the portable device have a content delivery element. The portable device has a storage manager that monitors available storage on the portable device. As the available storage on the portable device decreases to a predetermined threshold, the media service may transmit only the metadata of the media file. The media file may be transmitted from the media service if the user indicates that the media file is to be consumed on the portable device. The media service may allow retrieval of deleted and/or archived media files.
