Abstract

A first electronic device, while a first media content item of a first type is playing back on a second electronic device, detects a user input selecting a second media content item. In response to the user input, the electronic device determines a type of media content item of the selected second media content item. In accordance with a determination that the second media content item is of the first type of media content item, the first electronic device generates a media control request for controlling playback of the second media content item at the second electronic device, and in accordance with a determination that the second media content item is of a second type of media content item, the first electronic device generates a media control request for controlling playback of the second media content item at a third electronic device that is distinct from the second electronic device.

         5 . The first electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the media control request is a local media control request that is sent to the second electronic device or third electronic device; and   the one or more programs further include instructions for, generating a server media control request that is sent to a server system.   
     
     
         6 . The first electronic device of  claim 5 , wherein the local media control request and the server media control request are both configured to cause a single media control operation to be implemented at the second electronic device or third electronic device. 
     
     
         7 . The first electronic device of  claim 2 , the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 while the first media content item is playing back, receiving a user input for a media control command for the first media content item; and   in response to the user input, sending a media control operation for the media control command to the second electronic device.   
     
     
         8 . The first electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein the media control operation is selected from the group consisting of: play, pause, skip, fast-forward, rewind, adjust an audio volume, change an order of items in a playlist, add items to a playlist, remove items from a playlist, adjust audio equalizer settings, and set a user setting. 
     
     
         9 . The first electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the first electronic device is distinct from the second electronic device. 
     
     
         10 . A method, comprising:
 at a first electronic device with one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs that are configured to be executed by the one or more processors:
 while a first media content item of a first type of media content is playing back on a second electronic device, detecting, at the first electronic device, a user input selecting a second media content item; 
 in response to the user input, determining whether the selected second media content item is of the first type or a second type of media content; 
 in accordance with a determination that the second media content item is of the first type of media content, generating a media control request for controlling playback of the second media content item at the second electronic device; and 
 in accordance with a determination that the second media content item is of the second type of media content, generating a media control request for controlling playback of the second media content item at a third electronic device that is distinct from the second electronic device. 
   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first type of media content comprises a video, and the second electronic device is a display device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the second type of media content comprises audio, and the third electronic device is a speaker. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the media control request is a local media control request that is sent to the second electronic device or third electronic device; and   the method further comprises, generating a server media control request that is sent to a server system.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the local media control request and the server media control request are both configured to cause a single media control operation to be implemented at the second electronic device or third electronic device. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 while the first media content item is playing back, receiving a user input for a media control command for the first media content item; and   in response to the user input, sending a media control operation for the media control command to the second electronic device.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the media control operation is selected from the group consisting of: play, pause, skip, fast-forward, rewind, adjust an audio volume, change an order of items in a playlist, add items to a playlist, remove items from a playlist, adjust audio equalizer settings, and set a user setting. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first electronic device is distinct from the second electronic device.
