Abstract: A computer-implemented method for pairing multimedia devices is provided herein. The method may include operations of detecting a connection between a first-screen device and a pairing service, the first-screen device connecting to the pairing service through a local network and of generating a pairing code that is valid for a pairing session. The method may further include sending a request to a push notification server to send a push notification comprising the pairing code to a second-screen device, receiving the pairing code from the second-screen device, and associating the first-screen device and the second-screen devices as paired devices.

Abstract: A method and system for transferring authorization to play content from an authenticated device to an unauthenticated device, including receiving an indication that a user of a user device wishes to play a content item on a playback device, wherein the indication is associated with a content ID for a content item, a user credential for the user, and a playback device identifier for a playback device, and verifying the content ID and the user credential. Upon verifying the content ID and the user credential, a token for the content ID, the user ID and the playback device identifier is generated and sent to the playback device.
