Abstract:
Various embodiments related to the ability to find content for consumption across all endpoint computing devices in a computing system are disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method for presenting content including aggregating endpoint metadata for each endpoint computing device in a computing system and content metadata of content stored on each of a plurality of endpoint computing devices, receiving a request for a content item on a selected endpoint computing device, querying aggregated endpoint metadata and content metadata to find instances of the content item and corresponding endpoint computing device locations, generating a ranked list of instances of the content item based on selection criteria, and selecting an instance of the content item from the ranked list for playback by the selected endpoint computing device.
