If we're going to talk about who did it first, DLNA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Alliance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Allianc...) came out in 2003 and had the concept of a "renderer". A renderer is a device that receives commands to go pull some media from somewhere and start playing it. And that can include video. So the concept has been around a long time.
