Shield TV Controller Iteration on Controller Sleep Issue

RetroArch Android devices
#1

If a game is currently running in RA and you’re using the Shield TV gamepad, but you step away for a little while and come back, when the controller wakes up it will change assignment by +1.

So, if it was on the virtual port 0 it will now be on port 1 and be the “second player”.

It’s possible to work around this issue by going to whatever android calls the multitasking or app switcher and coming back into RA where the gamepad will be in port 0 (player 1) again.

I have no idea if this occurs with nightlies, I’m using the build from the Google Play app store. This issue may already be fixed.

It’s not fixed, but I didn’t realize that’s what was happening. That is, I thought it just lost the connection entirely until I left and I came back.

I think there might be an issue open for it on the issue tracker. If so, I’ll add this information. Thanks.
