Abstract
This paper presents the MoMPt project, an open source project developed to allow access to multimedia content and to control multiple HTPCs remotely using mobile devices. The main contribution in the context of this project is its reference design, which allows the access of HTPC functionalities using different technologies, such as UPnP and XML-RPC. In this paper the reference design as well as its main components are detailed. Also, we describe one developed solution for the MediaPortal HTPC. It is discussed how it was developed, and the evaluation scenario with mobile devices, more specifically an Internet Tablet.
