Abstract
Disclosure is directed to managing placeshifting events that are scheduled to occur at specified times. In particular, embodiments are directed to automatically establishing a connection between a placeshifting server and a placeshifting client in order to facilitate a scheduled placeshifting event. The connection may be established by the placeshifting server, which is associated with a receiver, first connecting to a backend server to obtain connection credentials and then connecting to placeshifting client using the connection credentials. The placeshifting client, which is running on a target device, may be configured to register and update its connection credentials at the backend server as the target device moves between networks. The connection may also be established by the placeshifting client connecting to the server at time that the placeshifting client has determined the placeshifting event is to occur.
