 Android support is taking shape. Here is a list of issues to look into,
 with emphasis on Nvidia Shield / Android TV:
 * ~~Exit from frontend causes a SEGFAULT.~~ See #13228
 * ~~The first startup hangs on white screen. Needs a splash screen?~~  See
 #13237
 * Second startup hangs trying to locate the Myth Backend. Perhaps UPNP is
 not working? I solved it by manually creating the config.xml file. Check
 what is going on and if necessary set up the best way of doing this.
 * ~~The shield remote does not have enough buttons. Add appropriate OSDs
 or menus to support all functions with the limited buttons available. Fix
 the bahaviour of the back button.~~ See #13234
 * Support for Game controller buttons does not work correctly.
 * ~~Green line at the bottom of the screen when watching video.~~ See
 #13230
 * Digital audio is not working. There is only one audio device in the
 list, OpenSLES and setting up digital audio causes strange behavior.
 * When MythTV goes into the background, it should enter standby mode.
 * Remove Xvideo playback profiles that will not work.
 * ~~Ensure default theme painter uses OpenGL.~~ See #13243
 * ~~Support hardware accelerated decode.~~ See #13233
 * I noticed a white flash sometimes when navigating screens. Maybe the
 default background should be black not white.
 * If Android needs to terminate the app while it is in the background,
 make sure that is handled cleanly.
 * Make the real MythTV version known to Android.  Currently, Android
 thinks the app is version 1.0.

 Issues for Android Tablet and phone support:
 * better tablet/touchscreen support.
 * My screen map probably should have a transient overlay guide
 * better gesture support.
 * proper list flick scrolling
