Zusammenfassung:	A method and system includes a plurality of video players and a plurality of remote control devices for implementing follow-me functionalities. Each remote control device has a unique ID and can control all the video players. The method and system receives a first control signal from a first remote control device to interrupt playback of a program by a first video player, interrupts playback of the program at the first video player, and stores the ID of the first remote control device and the status of the playback of the program. The method and system then receives a second control signal from a second remote control device to resume playback of the program at a second video player, checks the stored ID and the ID of the second remote control device, and if the two IDs are identical, resumes playback of the program at the second video player according to the status.
