Abstract: A system for receiving redirected electronic media playback includes a proxy configured to communicate with a remote access module. The remote access module is configured to establish a remote access connection between the system and a remote system. The proxy is configured to receive, over the remote access connection, a decode request for electronic media content designated for a local multimedia application on the system, and in return, provide a result for the request. The proxy is also configured to receive at least one playback command designated for playing the electronic media content on the local multimedia application. The electronic media appears to be playing on a remote multimedia application on the remote system corresponding to the local multimedia application, but is played on the local multimedia application. A system for redirecting playback of electronic media content to a remote system, methods, and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: An example of a method for facilitating split booting includes executing a base system image file of a system, initializing components of the first computing device, loading the extended system image file, and executing the extended system image file from the first computing device without booting the first computing device. The base system image file and an extended system image file of the system are built from a single executable system image file of the system. An example of a method for building system images includes building, as a single executable file, a system image file of a system and dividing the system image file into a base system image file and an extended system image file. An example of a machine-readable storage medium having code for carrying out the method, an apparatus having the machine-readable storage medium, and an apparatus having means for carrying out the method is disclosed.
