[QUOTE="offbyone, post: 1286321, member: 73415"] For now I went ahead and implemented the MP2 Plugin ;) (Attached Zip) You need to go into Settings in MP2 and log in to the Amazon Account (as you did from MP1 Config.) Currently there is only 1 active/linked device per user supported. So the login from MP2 will invalidate the one from MP1. The PLAY command is not working really good, I know. This is because Alexa is working a bit contextual - meaning once you PAUSED playback, Alexa knows that it can resume on MediaPortal. So now you can use very short commands. A simple: "Alexa, Play" should work after having paused. You can also ask her to PAUSE while paused, and it will resume playback, because I simple toggle in the code ;) I also implemented Seek and Skip forward/backward and Volume Up/Down and Mute. While watching TV, you should also be able to change channel by name. "Alexa change the TV channel to ZDF on MediaPortal". (Not sure I did it correct on MP2 - could not test). There are more features we could implement. Like Navigation Control, as you can see in the Kodi Video posted by Lehmden. (Up,Down,Back, Enter or so). Amazon just published my skill: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B09GB27CBF[/URL] Official download area of the Alexa plugin with configuration instructions: [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/mp2-plugins/alexa']Alexa[/URL] [/QUOTE]
