Matricom does not provide information on downloading such software as it may damage or brick your device.
Matricom does not sell programmed devices. While the breadth of video add-ons not to mention audio add-ons, skins and other categories is stunning, the MX2 user manual doesn't explain how to enable them on the device. MORE: Netflix vs. Moreover, online documentation at the XBMC wiki is only helpful to a certain extent. When we tried to install video add-ons accomplished by selecting an add-on from the repository list and then pressing Install , the repositories appeared empty.
The wiki suggested that we force-refresh the repository list by right-clicking the mouse to open the context menu. But right-clicking on the MX2 instead produces the effects of a back button. It took us several minutes of experimenting to realize that we needed to click the scroll wheel instead.
A major problem with the G-Box Midnight MX2 is that the included remote control works for only some applications. Without a mouse and keyboard, you'll have trouble unlocking the MX2's full functionality. In addition to the four-way directional pad found on other remotes, the MX2's remote features Android-specific buttons for Home and Back, and buttons to access your video and music playlists, enable subtitles and search the Web.
The remote also includes a full number pad and a Cursor button, which causes a cursor to appear on the screen that you can move around using the four-way directional pad. You can navigate this interface using the Cursor button on the remote control, but the onscreen cursor moves agonizingly slowly and frequently stops moving.
We found this menu much easier to navigate using a wireless mouse. As an alternative to the standard Android interface, Matricom included a 3D Launcher that's designed with the remote control in mind. Using the directional pad on the remote control, you can scroll through these tiles horizontally as you would multiple home screens on any Android device.
Pressing OK in the center of the directional pad opens the menu associated with that tile, each of which has been designed to make it easy to navigate without a cursor. The XBMC interface is similarly remote-control friendly. Hovering over each of the menu items brings up a sub-menu below, with options such as Files and Add-Ons that you can select by pressing down on the directional pad.
However, some Android applications don't work well with the remote control. In the Netflix app, pressing the arrow buttons on the directional pad frequently caused the onscreen keyboard to appear at the bottom of the display. Even when we were able to scroll through the list of movies on the Netflix home screen, our selections were not highlighted in any way. In addition, you can't use the cursor or directional pad to view TV episodes beyond the first six of a season.
For these applications, a mouse is not only helpful, it's mandatory. The player allows users to download and install a huge number of video, audio and picture add-ons organized into repositories. The add-ons behave similarly to Roku channels, except that they let you play video and music directly from websites, for example CollegeHumor. Although workarounds for these services exist, these alternative approaches didn't function properly on our review unit.
As mentioned, these apps haven't been optimized for the remote control, so it's easiest to use a mouse and keyboard.
