    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a media device upgrading system over a wireless network. An embodiment operates by determining an app has been installed on a media device and that the media device is connected to an upgrader device over a wireless network connection. A command to execute functionality of the app from a remote control is received. It is determined that a speed of the wireless network connection exceeds a threshold. The command is transmitted to the upgrader device based on both the determination that the upgrader mode is active and the determination that the speed of the wireless network connection exceeds a threshold. At the media device, a response from the upgrader device executing the command is received at the media device, which directs the media device to output content associated with the app.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a network-based media device upgrading system. An embodiment operates by receiving a fetch command from a first instance of an application executing locally on a host device. The fetch command is provided to a media device executing a second instance of the application. At the host device, metadata corresponding to the file that was retrieved by the media device is received. A rendering command is determined from the first instance of the application corresponding to displaying the interface including the fetched file as indicated by the metadata. The rendering command is provided to the media device that is configured to display the interface of the application responsive to executing the rendering command.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a port-connected television upgrader system. An embodiment operates by determining that an application that streams output is installed on a television. A command to execute a function of the application is received. It is determined that an upgrader device is physically connected to the television through a port of the television. The command is provided to the upgrader device physically connected to the television. A response to the command is received by the television from the upgrader device. Content corresponding to executing the response is output by the television.
