Abstract
The invention provides searching, accessing, maintaining, or editing of media files using a remote control device having a display. The invention enables a user to manipulate displayed media files and other types of information stored on a server. The server may be coupled to a display device such as a television receiver and to a remote control device also having a display. A user, through the remote control device, may manipulate media files through the use of buttons displayed on the remote control device. The buttons of the remote control device may be associated with executable commands to be performed on the media files. The modified media files may be displayed on both the television receiver and the remote control device to improve a user'"'"'s ability to modify the media files.
