Abstract
Systems and methods for creating and employing software to handle the playback of media, especially video, in browsers that, in addition to or instead of playing the media in the browser, may use second display protocols to instruct a separate display device to play the media. In one implementation, the software may be in the form of a web or other application. The application or server infrastructure maintains a list of favorite content items and is configured to filter the list to include only those content items, or services with such content items, available for play back on a selected content playback device. In this way, favorite content items and services are made accessible using any second display registered with the user account. Such lists of favorites may be shared with other second displays.
