Systems and methods for connecting media devices through web sockets

A system for connecting a first device over a communication network to an application service through a second device, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• receive, via the communication network, a first message from the first device to form a web socket connection, wherein the first message includes an identification code of the first device;
• store in memory, in a routing table, the identification code of the first device received in the first message and an identification code of the web socket connection, wherein the routing table includes one or more application services associated with the web socket connection;
• receive, via the communication network, a second message from the first device for transmission to the application service;
• retrieve from the routing table, based on the identification code of the first device received in the second message and another identification code stored in the routing table, the web socket connection associated with the first device and the application service;
• and
• transmit the received second message from the first device to the application service through the web socket connection.
