Abstract
The present disclosure includes methods and systems to assess an ability to playback media content. The system progresses through media content playback applications by communicating a query to a computer system over a computer network. The progressing is used to assess an ability of the computer system to playback media content locally. Next, the system, receives a response to the query. The response indicates an ability of the computer system to playback the media content locally.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor and executable instructions accessible on a computer-readable medium that, when executed, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- progressing through a plurality of media content playback applications by communicating a query to a computer system over a computer network, the progressing to assess an ability of the computer system to playback media content locally;
- and
- receiving a response to the query, the response indicating an ability of the computer system to playback the media content locally, the ability of the computer system being assessed by the progressing through the plurality of media content playback applications.
A method comprising:
- progressing through a plurality of media content playback applications by communicating a query to a computer system over a computer network, the progressing being utilized to assess an ability of the computer system to playback media content locally;
- and
- receiving a response to the query, the response indicating an ability of the computer system to playback the media content locally, the ability of the computer system being assessed by the progressing through the plurality of media content playback applications.
A machine-readable medium having no transitory signals and for storing instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- progressing through a plurality of media content playback applications by communicating a query to a computer system over a computer network, the progressing to assess an ability of the computer system to playback media content locally;
- and
- receiving a response to the query, the response indicating an ability of the computer system to playback the media content locally, the ability of the computer system being assessed by the progressing through the plurality of media content playback applications.
