Systems and techniques are provided to distribute access to stored or other local media content across a number of different placeshifting systems. A server maintains a database of stored programs or other content that is available from at any number of different placeshifting systems. The server processes requests for content received from authenticated users by identifying a placeshifting system that has local content that corresponds to the requested content and that is accessible via a network. The server then facilitates a placeshifting session between the identified placeshifting system and a client device operated by the authenticated user in which the client device obtains the requested content.
