Description Sylvain 2017-10-20 09:01:47 UTC 
I would like to double check that virtual remote (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote) and real tv remote controls are still detected on Android-TV. (either as joysticks or keyboards or something else).

recent commits might break this: 

https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/a970b2ae1bd7
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/4a94743e31fe

there were some old bugs fixed: bug 3444, bug 3426, bug 2949, bug 2948

https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/bac107c32a37
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/f6567f77f663

I can't try this right now, but will try in a few days.

They shouldn't be detected as joysticks. Maybe we need to remap DPAD functionality as arrow keys?
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2017-10-20 17:36:50 UTC 
I reverted the changes so we don't introduce regressions right now:

Thanks!
