Abstract
A method for delivering requested media content is provided. A requested media object requested by a user device is received, the requested media object including media of at least a first type. A first new media object is created, the first new media object having at least some of the media of the requested media object of the first type. A second new media object is created, the second new media object having at least some of the media of the requested media object of a second type, if any. At least one user interface mechanism is inserted into the second new media object, the at least one user interface mechanism corresponding to media of the requested media object of the first type included in the first new media object. The second new media object is delivered to the user device, and the first new media object is delivered to a secondary device separate from the user device. A first new media object indicator is caused to be generated in response to activation of the at least one user interface mechanism via the user device, the first new media object indicator indicating to a user media of the first new media object rendered on the secondary device.
