Claim 11:
12. A non-transitory, computer-readable media having stored thereon instruction executable by a smart device, the instructions cause the smart device to perform steps comprising:
determining a presence of an over-the-top (OTT) media streaming device within an ecosystem which includes the smart device;
determining a presence of a first OTT app usable to stream a media installed on the OTT media streaming device;
using the determined presence of the first OTT app usable to stream a media and the determined presence of the OTT media streaming device to identify at least one command that is required to be transmitted to the OTT media streaming device to cause the OTT media streaming device to launch the first OTT app usable to stream a media installed on the OTT media streaming device; and
causing the controlling device application to assign the at least one command to a configurable input element of a user interface associated with the controlling device application whereupon the controlling device application will respond to an activation of the configurable input element by causing the at least one command to be transmitted to the OTT device to cause the OTT media streaming device to launch the first OTT app usable to stream a media installed on the OTT media streaming device.
