ABSTRACT:
A system and methods are provided for resolving resource conflicts related to processing multiple media streams on a single media device. An audio/video (A/V) server is used to interconnect a plurality of media devices. A first multimedia program is routed from a first source device to a first destination device. The A/V server detects a conflict when a second source device attempts to route a second multimedia program to the first destination device. To resolve the conflict, the A/V server determines suitable media devices to process the second multimedia program. The A/V server may send the second program to a second destination device to process the second program in the same manner as the first destination device. Alternatively, the A/V server may send the second program to a destination device capable of recording the second program.
