Hi All,
I've recently taken the plunge and setup a brand new Matricom G-Box MX2. I already have an Apple TV, and need a media box for a 2nd TV. Increasingly disillusioned with Apple products (annoyed I couldn't jailbreak ATV3), I thought I'd give XBMC a try. I spent nearly 3 hours last night trying to set this thing up and made exactly zero progress. I mean, everything I tried just didn't work. Before I throw my hands up and exchange it for a second Apple TV, I thought I'd cry for help here.
For ALL of the video add-ons, every time I tried to watch a video, I get a script.failed error. Initially I thought one of my add-ons might just be broken, but this is happening for ALL of them. They can't all be broken, so I have to be doing something wrong. I'm starting to miss the Apple product, where you turn it on and it just works. I expected this to be a little more effort in terms of setup, but I didn't imagine it would be this difficult. The Android interface in general is going to take some getting used to, but I have to be missing something simple.
Any troubleshooting advice would be appreciated!

- Airplay doesn't work
- Tried to install an iPad app (XBMC Touch) to control the XBMC remotely, but that didn't work either - couldn't connect the device
- Video add-ons I tried:
- Amazon Prime
- HBO Go
- Epix HD
- Free Cable
- Amazon Prime
