I've been messing with home-assistant.io and it's emulated hue bridge along with some other home brew skills. It has harmony hub integration so you can already setup basic device commands but that would end up being pretty trying. 'Alexa turn on scroll down' and the list moves down one step.
What would be needed is a skill that can access probably the mp-extended back end to read the databases and understand 'Alexa ask MediaPortal to play ...' and then it appears on screen. Unfortunately I think it's quite bit of work.
Would be great if this existed.... I can turn my lights on and off, turn my heating on or off, or up or down and control my hot water from the Echo... bring on MP control!
I have written a couple Alexa skills. I suspect having the proper WiFiRemote commands sent to MP would be very doable. You would just need to setup a port forward from the Amazon server to your MP computer in your router/firewall. I'm going to have a look.
Oh, that wifiremote seems to use that Apple Bonjour service, ugh. Hopefully MP can respond to simple HTTP commands like the Roku does
Openhab has a dedicated skill for Alexa. That means that there is only the Alexa invocation word needed. So no more 'Alexa, ask bla bla bla to control bla bla bla'
Just 'Alexa, do this or that'
Openhab would also give you tablet, phone or PC access to MediaPortal.
Unfortunately i know nothing about the technical side of this. But i am sure some smart guy can make this work.
Well, thank you. Knowing that it is not the same Media Portal does help me, so I know I do not have to look into this any further.
You are right, I think I just contact to Edision support next.
Best regards

Hi,
I'm wish to be able to watch the recorded TV (*.ts) files on my Sony Bravia Android TV but cannot. The default media player app does not support the file type. So I installed VLC. VLC does read the ts files but the TV's remote does not allow to control basic VLC functions like FF or FR or pause etc... Tried 1-2 other apps, even...
