1. A system to facilitate streaming in a local network, the system comprising:
a primary media device configured to:
operate as a server in a local network,
receive audio/video (A/V) content, and
provide the A/V content to a first display; and
a secondary media device communicatively connected to the primary media device, the secondary media device configured to:
operate as a client with respect to the primary media device in the local network;
receive the A/V content from the primary media device, and
provide the A/V content to a second display;
where the primary media device and the secondary media device discover each other via multiple subnets in the local network; and
where one or both of the primary media device and the secondary media device select a first subnet of the multiple subnets to use based at least in part on a type of content to communicate via the first subnet.
