    Abstract: If multiple persons are together and want to jointly consume media, i.e. there is a single presentation of a media title and all persons are jointly watching and/or listening, then there is a problem that the media titles which shall be presented are distributed among a plurality of media devices (10, 20, . . . , 70) cloud storages (100, 200, 300) or streaming services. To solve such problem there is the idea to assign the media player functionality to one media device (10, 70) which is responsible for the media playback/presentation. This device can receive presentation requests from other media devices which are configured to be media source devices (20, 30) in the joint media consumption session. If a presentation request is accepted by the media player device (10, 70), the suggested title will be added to a common playlist. The title will be streamed from the media source device (20, 30) to the media player device (10, 70) during playback.
