A method of identifying a user requesting playback of multiple content streams, the method comprising: determining, from a list of users, a single user playing a first content stream on a first device; detecting a request for a second content stream on a second device; determining whether the same user initiated the request for the second content stream; if the same user initiated the request for the second content stream, determining whether a conflict exists between the first content stream on the first device and the second content stream on the second device; if the conflict exists, resolving the conflict by pausing or redirecting one of the first content stream and the second content stream; and determining whether the conflict is an audio conflict or a video conflict; if the conflict is an audio conflict, determining whether a secondary audio output is available, and: if a secondary audio output is available, directing an audio signal of the first content stream to the secondary audio output; and if a secondary audio output is not available, halting audio output of the first content stream while continuing video output of the first content stream to the first device; and if the conflict is a video conflict, determining whether a secondary video output is available, and: if a secondary video output is available, directing a video signal of the first content stream to the secondary video output; and if a secondary video output is not available, halting video output of the first content stream while continuing audio output of the first content stream to the first device. determining, from a list of users, a single user playing a first content stream on a first device; detecting a request for a second content stream on a second device; determining whether the same user initiated the request for the second content stream; if the same user initiated the request for the second content stream, determining whether a conflict exists between the first content stream on the first device and the second content stream on the second device; if the conflict exists, resolving the conflict by pausing or redirecting one of the first content stream and the second content stream; and determining whether the conflict is an audio conflict or a video conflict; if the conflict is an audio conflict, determining whether a secondary audio output is available, and: if a secondary audio output is available, directing an audio signal of the first content stream to the secondary audio output; and if a secondary audio output is not available, halting audio output of the first content stream while continuing video output of the first content stream to the first device; and if the conflict is a video conflict, determining whether a secondary video output is available, and: if a secondary video output is available, directing a video signal of the first content stream to the secondary video output; and if a secondary video output is not available, halting video output of the first content stream while continuing audio output of the first content stream to the first device. if the conflict is an audio conflict, determining whether a secondary audio output is available, and: if a secondary audio output is available, directing an audio signal of the first content stream to the secondary audio output; and if a secondary audio output is not available, halting audio output of the first content stream while continuing video output of the first content stream to the first device; and if a secondary audio output is available, directing an audio signal of the first content stream to the secondary audio output; and if a secondary audio output is not available, halting audio output of the first content stream while continuing video output of the first content stream to the first device; and if the conflict is a video conflict, determining whether a secondary video output is available, and: if a secondary video output is available, directing a video signal of the first content stream to the secondary video output; and if a secondary video output is not available, halting video output of the first content stream while continuing audio output of the first content stream to the first device. if a secondary video output is available, directing a video signal of the first content stream to the secondary video output; and if a secondary video output is not available, halting video output of the first content stream while continuing audio output of the first content stream to the first device.
