[QUOTE="ge2301, post: 1286323, member: 145639"] It works great so far (y) There were just a few issues during set-up: [LIST] [*]I had to manually remove the previously added "MediaPortal" device at first, otherwise the new device can not be found [*]The login window for linking the amazon profile is always opening behind the MediaPortal 2 client, in full screen and windowed mode [*]While typing my password, MediaPortal 2 always toggles to Fullscreen and hindes the dialog again :rolleyes: The reason is, that my password contains a "f" (not so secret, because it has 16 signs anyway ;)). This is a MediaPortal 2 issue fixed in WIP2.4 already I think, for testing I used by regular MP2.3 installation. [/LIST] Voice control works well: [LIST] [*]As you mentioned "play" while paused works only with "Alexa, play" (no "on MediaPortal" allowed) [*]TV channels can be surprisingly even changed with "Alexa, change channel to ARD" (no "on MediaPortal" needed) [*]Volume control works well. It would be just nice, if the volume bar can shortly pop up, when volume is changed by voice to see the current volume status. But this is a MediaPortal 2 issue and not related to the skill [/LIST] [B][I]Navigation Control[/I][/B] would be of course perfect, at least the basics: [LIST] [*]Back [*]Home [*]OK/Enter [*]Up/Down/Right/Left [/LIST] Nice to have, but probably more difficult are [B]Direct Navigation Controls[/B] [LIST] [*]Alexa, go to [B]movies[/B] [*]Alexa, go to [B]series[/B] [*]Alexa, go to [B]TV[/B] [*]... [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
