1. A method for indirectly controlling digital media content via a secondary control means, comprising the steps of:
connecting, via a wireless connection, a digital media playing device to a cloud service provider, said media playing device being adapted to deliver digital media from the cloud service provider;
connecting, via the wireless connection, a first electronic device to the cloud service provider, said first electronic device being adapted to receive, via the digital media playing device, the digital media from the cloud service provider, and wherein the first electronic device comprises a primary control means adapted to control and send commands to the digital media playing device;
connecting, via a local network, a second electronic device to the digital media playing device, wherein said second electronic device is adapted to display the digital media, and wherein the second electronic device comprises a secondary control means adapted to receive input or commands that enable the secondary control means to control and send commands to the digital media playing device;
wherein the local network enables the secondary control means to indirectly control and send commands to the digital media playing device independently of the primary control means; and
sending the digital media through an API of the cloud service provider, and via the local network, to the second electronic device in response to an input or command received by the secondary control means.
