Other RelayTV devices

RelayTV can coordinate with other RelayTV endpoints so a queue or current playback can move between screens without introducing a cloud coordinator.

  • Both RelayTV endpoints are reachable over the local network.
  • mDNS works between them, or the peer is added manually.
  • Each protected peer has the correct token configured.
  • The destination can independently reach the media source.

Some playback state and media references can be sent to another device. A destination still needs access to the underlying media and must satisfy its own runtime constraints. Sending state does not copy an inaccessible upstream library or grant credentials automatically.

  1. Add or discover the second endpoint.
  2. Confirm its health before sending playback.
  3. Send a simple queue with a source reachable by both devices.
  4. Confirm ordering and current-item behavior on the destination.
  5. Test protected peers with both valid and invalid tokens.
