Continuation of playback of media content by different output devices

A system for transferring content streams between user devices, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a hardware processor coupled to the memory that:
• causes a stream of media content to be presented by a first media playback device, wherein the first media playback device is paired with a user device;
• receives a first user input indicating that presentation of the stream of media content by the first media playback device is to be stopped;
• determines a place marker for the stream of media content indicating a portion of the stream of media content that has been presented by the first media playback device when the user input was received;
• receives a second user input from the user device indicating that presentation of the stream of media content is to be continued by a second media playback device, wherein the user device is paired with the second media playback device;
• and
• causes the stream of media content to continue being presented by the second media playback device by transmitting at least a subset of a remaining portion of the stream of media content subsequent to the portion of the stream of media content indicated by the place marker from the first media playback device to the second media playback device via a local network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for transferring content streams between user devices, the method comprising:

• causing a stream of media content to be presented by a first media playback device, wherein the first media playback device is paired with a user device;
• receiving a first user input indicating that presentation of the stream of media content by the first media playback device is to be stopped;
• determining a place marker for the stream of media content indicating a portion of the stream of media content that has been presented by the first media playback device when the user input was received;
• receiving a second user input from the user device indicating that presentation of the stream of media content is to be continued by a second media playback device, wherein the user device is paired with the second media playback device;
• and
• causing the stream of media content to continue being presented by the second media playback device by transmitting at least a subset of a remaining portion of the stream of media content subsequent to the portion of the stream of media content indicated by the place marker from the first media playback device to the second media playback device via a local network.
