[[category: Programmer's Guide]]
Media Plug-Ins are DCE Devices, which are loaded into the DCE Router memory space. They execute on the CORE. This is important, because the Media Plugins are responsible for:

* Pairing the [[Media Players]] to their appropriate entertainment areas and therefore telling the parent [[Media Plugin]] what devices to send media commands to.
