Systems and methods for multi-context media control and playback

A method for controlling media presentation, performed at a second electronic device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a server system, a server media control request corresponding to a media control operation to be implemented at the second electronic device, wherein the server media control request was sent from the server in response to the server receiving the server media control request from a first electronic device;
• and
• receiving, from the first electronic device, a local media control request sent within a local network to which both the first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected, wherein the local media control request corresponds to the media control operation.

A method for controlling media presentation, performed at a second electronic device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a first electronic device, a local media control request corresponding to a media control operation, wherein the local media control request is sent within a local network to which both the first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected;
• and
• receiving a media stream from a server system, wherein the media stream was sent from the server in response to the server receiving a server media control request from the first electronic device, and wherein the server media control request corresponds to the media control operation.

A method for controlling media presentation, performed at a server system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a first electronic device, a server media control request, wherein the first electronic device also sends a local media control request to the second electronic device within a local network to which both the first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected, and wherein the server media control request and the local media control request are both configured to initiate a same media control operation by the second electronic device;
• and
• sending at least one of the server media control request or a media stream corresponding to the server media control request to the second electronic device.
