1. A user interface for a computing device for use in connection with rendering a media object, comprising:
- a computing device display associated with a computing device for viewing a rendering of the media object; and
a “
Now Playing”
state to which a user navigates to render the media object, the “
Now Playing”
state comprising a plurality of views based on the type of the media object being rendered through which a user cycles via at least one input component when deciding upon a view for rendering the media object, wherein the first time a user navigates to the “
Now Playing”
state for a type of media object, a default initial view of the plurality of views is presented to the user.

Abstract
Systems and methods for transitioning between alternate views when rendering A/V content in a computing system are provided. In various embodiments, a “Now Playing” state is exposed to a user experiencing media on a media device via a user interface, wherein the “Now Playing” state has a plurality of associated “Now Playing” views. The user interface allows the user to change “Now Playing” views based on media type and, if desirable, offer quick access settings. Advantageously, when transitioning between or cycling through the “Now Playing” views, the state of the user interface remains the “Now Playing” state.

11. A method for interfacing with the rendering of a media object via a user interface of a computing device and implemented on the computing device, comprising:
-
receiving a selection of a playing state for rendering the media object via at least one interface control element of the user interface; presenting an initial view of a plurality of views in the playing state on a display of the computing device by way of the user interface, the presented initial view being selected based on the type of the media object being rendered; allowing a user to cycle by way of the user interface through the plurality of views via the at least one interface control element when the user is deciding upon a view for rendering the media object; and
when the user leaves the playing state, storing at least one of the settings and the last view viewed in the playing state so that the user is presented with the last view as the initial view when the user returns to the playing state for another media object of the same type. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computing device, comprising:
-
a display; a computer readable medium comprising computer executable modules comprising computer executable instructions configured to interact with the display and enabling a user to interact with the playback of a media object by a media player via a user interface including a playing state to which a user navigates to render the media object, the playing state comprising a plurality of views based on the type of the media object being rendered, the user interface allowing a user to cycle through the plurality of views based on preference via at least one input component when deciding upon a view for rendering the media object, wherein the first time a user navigates to the playing state for a type of media object, a default initial view of the plurality of views is presented to the user. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A computing device for interacting with media objects including a user interface for rendering a media object, the user interface of the computing device being implemented on the computing device, comprising:
-
means for receiving a selection of a playing state for rendering the media object via at least one interface control element of the user interface; means for presenting an initial view of a plurality of user selectable views in the playing state on a display of the computing device by way of the user interface, the presented initial view being selected based on the type of the media object being rendered; means for allowing a user to cycle by way of the user interface through the plurality of views via the at least one interface control element when the user is deciding upon a view for rendering the media object; and
means for configuring the plurality of views to display in a different language via a multilingual user interface. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)
