1. A server, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory; and
an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processorreceives a progressively uploaded media stream from a remote electronic device,converts the progressively uploaded media stream from a first format to a second format,buffers the converted media stream, andtransmits the buffered converted media stream to a bridge into a media local area network based on a mapping of the remote electronic device to the media local area network, wherein the mapping is stored in the memory.

Abstract
A server is provided. The server comprises a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, receives a progressively uploaded media stream from a remote electronic device. The application also converts the progressively uploaded media stream from a first format to a second format and buffers the converted media stream. The application also transmits the buffered converted media stream to a bridge into a media local area network based on a mapping of the remote electronic device to the media local area network, wherein the mapping is stored in the memory.

8. A method of linking an external electronic device with a media local area network, comprising:
-
defining a first mapping from a first electronic device to a second electronic device, wherein the first electronic device is internal to the media local area network and the second electronic device is external to the media local area network, wherein the mapping is stored in a memory of a management server, and wherein the first electronic device communicates with other electronic devices comprising the media local area network using the simple service discovery protocol (SSDP); the first electronic device multicasting a first media content on the media local area network; a bridging device internal to the media local area network sending the first media content to the management server; the management server sending the first media content to the second electronic device based on the first mapping; defining a second mapping from the second electronic device to the media local area network, wherein the second mapping is stored in the memory of the management server; the second electronic device sending a second media content to the management server; the management server sending the second media content to the bridging device based on the second mapping; and the bridging device multicasting the second media content to the media local area network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A server, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory; and an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor receives a media stream from a remote electronic device, transcodes the media stream, attenuates a jitter of the media stream by buffering the transcoded media stream, and transmits the buffered transcoded media stream to a bridge into a media local area network based on a mapping of the remote electronic device to the media local area network, wherein the mapping is stored in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
