Support for Android TV and Google TV

[stzokev]

Add support for Chromecast with Google TV. I was able to side load it on mine, but it crashes when I try to add path to the games. Otherwise navigating with Xbox controller or the Chromecast remote seems to be working just fine.

Thanks for your hard work!

I've bought Chromecast with Google TV to try Dai on TV. But android TV is missing SAF. Which is required by Dai. So the plan is hanged.

Another vote for this whenever it becomes possible. Great app!

Launchbox and Dig are both working although each with its flaws, so they clearly have workaround for the missing SAF. I really like yours best however, so crossing finger you figure things out!

Just installed the Android 12 update to Chromecast and it's even worse. Now I can't even add a platform as the Bottom button line with the 3 buttons (Index URI, Cancel and Import) is missing.

Yes I’ve tried it. And I don’t even know why this is happening.

I'm not a dev. but it seems related to the same problem. I'm so eager to have Dai working on my chromecast. hope it helps

Any plans on using an external file/folder picker library to not depend on SAF?

[stzokev]

@magneticchen Is there some sort of a workaround e.g. to copy already populated config files from a handheld where Daijishou works correctly to the Chromecast install dir? It really is a shame that a single step renders this excellent software unusable.

Is there still no solution to choose the game route? In xiomi's adnroid tv, this closing or crashing problem also occurs when choosing a route.

Another update: nowadays many emulators have upgraded their file API implementations to SAF. Which makes Android TV less plausible for frontends, since SAF is not supported on Android TV. Therefore not only file picker is missing, but file.uri, required by both Dai and emulators, is not supported.

To avoid wasting time, anticipations and efforts of everyone. I unfortunately declare that Android TV will not be supported by Dai. Sorry for the announcement.
