17. A system comprising a first device, the first device comprising:
-
network access circuitry configured to allow access to a remote server such that the remote server can provide media data to the first device; a display having a first resolution configured to display media from the server based on signals received from a processing circuit; the processing circuit configured to access the server, receive data indicative of a request to play media on the display of the first device; receive data from a second device indicative of a request to play media on a display of the second device, the display of the second device having a second resolution different than the first resolution, provide data to the server indicative of a resolution at which to provide the media based on at least one of the data indicative of a request to play media on the display of the device and the data from the second device indicative of a request to play media on the display of the second device, receive media data from the server based on the data provided to the server, provide signals to the display based on media data received from the remote server and based on data indicative of a request to play media on the display of the first device, and provide data output signals to a wireless transmitter based on media data received from the remote server and based on data from a second device indicative of a request to play media on the display of the second device; the wireless transmitter, the wireless transmitter being configured to transmit signals containing media data to the second device based on the output signals provided by the processing circuit. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
