 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.
 * The first startup hangs on white screen. Needs a splash screen?
 * 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.
 * Support for Game controller buttons does not work correctly.
 * Green line at the bottom of the screen when watching video.
 * 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.
 * Support hardware accelerated decode.
 * 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.

 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
