Abstract: An example computing device establishes a first network connection to a playback device that supports a first communication protocol for sending audio content for playback to the playback device, and detects user input associated with a modification to the playback. While the computing device and the playback device are connected to a common data network that supports a second communication protocol, the computing device transmits, via the common data network using the second communication protocol, a command to modify media playback based on the user input. While the computing device or playback device are not connected to the common data network that supports the second communication protocol, the computing device (i) establishes a second network connection to the playback device that supports a third communication protocol, and (ii) transmits, via the second network connection using the third communication protocol, a command to modify media playback based on the user input.

Abstract: An example computing device is configured to use a first communication protocol to connect to a local network. After connecting to the local network, the computing device uses the first communication protocol to receive first information identifying a first playback device connected to the local network. The computing device also uses a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol to connect to a second playback device that is not connected to the local network. Further, the computing device uses a third communication protocol different from the first and second communication protocols to receive second information identifying the second playback device. The computing device displays (i) a first representation of the first playback device based on the first information identifying the first playback device and (ii) a second representation of the second playback device based on the second information identifying the second playback device.
