Methods, systems, and media for detecting the presence of a digital media device on a 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 detecting a presence of a digital media device, the method comprising:

• in response to a first discovery protocol search, which discovers devices on a local communications network and obtains device details for the devices, determining that a first media device is a particular device type present on the local communications network and in response to a second discovery protocol search, which checks for presence of the devices that were previously discovered on the local communications network and requests cached device details, determining that a second media device is the particular device type present on the local area network, presenting, using the hardware processor, a first indication and a second indication that indicate presence of devices of a particular type on the local area network;
• and
• performing, using the hardware processor, an action associated with at least one of the first digital media device and the second digital media device based on the particular type of device present on the local area network.
