Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are provided for identifying instances of content available within a media distribution system that is related to a media program being streamed, presented, displayed, viewed, or otherwise placeshifted from a media device to a client device communicating with or otherwise coupled to the media device over a network. An exemplary method involves obtaining an identifier, metadata, or other descriptive information associated with a media program being presented on a client device, identifying content related to the streamed media program available from a content source in the media distribution system using the identifier, the metadata, or the descriptive information, and providing indication of the related content on the client device in conjunction with the media program. In an exemplary embodiment, the media program is streamed from the media device to the client device using a connection established over the network to create or otherwise support a placeshifting session.
