I brought the Sumvision Cyclone Android X2 last week. I had read mixed reviews having been happy with my previous Sumvision Cyclone MKV, decided to go for it. I want a box only to stream media from my NAS and to use Netflix, and in addition control it wil my Harmony remote.
I spent 2 days getting more and more disappointed with this box. Video playback is fine through the stock mediaplayer app and through XBMC 12.2, but I am frustrated at not being able to use my harmony remote fastforward/rewind/play/pause buttons. To operate these playback functions I have to press menu then navigate left and right to the necessary buttons. I really dont want to use an air remote. I have tried adding devices AVT1200 and Pivos XIOS DS to my harmony remote but the fastforward/rewind/pause/play buttons still do nothing during video playback in mediaplayer or XBMC. I could setup custom sequences but this is not much of a solution.
Today I have changed the firmware from Cyclone Android X2 to Geniatech (v20130805) in the vain hope that would make a difference but it doesnt. I can't believe I'm the only person with an ATV1200/X2 trying to use video playback without an air-remote or USB keyboard. I've done a search of this thread but cant find an answer, does anyone have any ideas or help please? Many thanks
There are many solutions. Remote apps for smart phones. USB RF remotes. Modifying the keyboard.xml to match. Ertain keypresses is very useful see here

Honestly, if you have up down left right enter back and menu, you should be alright. Enter(ok) will get you to play pause fast. Right 30 seconds forward. Left 30 seconds back. Up 10 minutes forward and down 10 minutes back. Fine rw and ff dont work well in xbmc android and arent really necessary for video.
Have fun
