  • selectively communicating between (1) a remote device and (2) an online based server and a personal media server, the online based server accessible via an address;

    receiving user input at the remote device to establish the two-way direct connection to receive media associated with the personal media server;

    sending from the remote device to the online based server a request to contact the personal media server, wherein the request comprises authentication information;

    authenticating the remote device by the online based server;

    receiving a response at the remote device to the request from the online based server, the response containing connection information if the remote device is authenticated as having access to the media;

    directly connecting the remote device to the personal media server using the connection information; and

    maintaining the two-way direct connection between the remote device and the personal media server without the online based server remaining involved in the two-way direct connection so that data transfer requests associated with the media are initiated from the remote device directly to the personal media server.
