Home network media server with a jukebox for enhanced user experience

   
   

A DVD jukebox or the like is integrated with a home network and serves as a centralized storage of multiple video/audio titles that can be selected and played on display devices, such as televisions, at different locations in the home. The jukebox is connected to a media server on the home network. The media server controls the jukebox and functions as its proxy to allow discovery and control of the jukebox by other devices on the home network. The media server generates a directory of the titles stored in the jukebox, which is sent via the home network to a media client connected to the display device. The media client presents an interactive user interface to allow the user to navigate the titles in the jukebox and select a title for viewing on the display device.
