Yes that would have been useful to mention initially. 

 

Supporting middle click will be a limitation of the operating system and TV OS's aren't typically advanced enough to support that. Hell i'm surprised a mouse works at all.

mouse probably isn't as complicated as advanced macro like the middle click or side buttons

I meant that because "normal" mice don't have extra buttons beyond left and right click, it's less likely non-PC platform like Android TV will bother to support those

ive never seen a mouse without middle click. theres probably some way to do this but i guess you guys havent encountered this issue. what comes to my mind is have a macro when i press both clicks at the same time to trigger middle click.

Shouldn't be surprising. What would be the purpose of a mouse, let alone the necessity to middle click in a TV OS app in the first place?

You're making the assumption (that I sure wouldn't) that the operating system and that app have the functionality for a middle click contextual menu in the first place and that its just hidden. 

 

I'm willing to bet it simply doesn't exist.

no i mean client will send  left +  right click and server will interpret that
