Hello, I'm looking into making my games available for Android TV devices -- such as Shield TV -- via Google Play. My games are already available on Google Play for phones and tablets, but in order to port to Android TV, Google Play tells me I need to "Add a Leanback launch intent" to my app. More details on that here: https://developer.android.com/training/ ... v-activity
Is there a way for me to edit the Android Manifest in order to add this intent? And if not, is Android TV something Ren'py might support in the future?
How to port Ren'py game to Android TV, if even possible?

I'm looking to see if the hardware is successful. IIRC, it's not just the manifest - we also need to add support for the remote. Since the OUYA, Amazon TV, and Google TV were all failures, I'm not in a huge rush to do the work.
