Server in a media system
First Claim
1. A server for a media system that includes an emulator-enabled client media device comprising:
- a media directory that contains a list of available media content and at least a portion of the media content that can be accessed by the server;
a control point that is capable of communicating with the media directory using communication control actions that manage media system interactions; and
a server application that is capable of communicating with the control point to select a content source and that communicates with an emulator-enabled client media device to manage processing of media content including emulation selection.

Abstract
In a media system that includes an emulator-enabled client media device, a server comprises a media directory, a control point, and a server application. The media directory contains a list of all available media content and at least a portion of the media content that can be accessed by the server. The control point is capable of communicating with the media directory using communication control actions that manage media system interactions. The server application is capable of communicating with the control point to select a content source and that communicates with an emulator-enabled client media device to manage processing of media content including emulation selection.
