Has anyone else tried building a game for an Android based media box, rather than for a phone or tablet? I've tried on an Amazon Fire TV 2 and it seems that the controller detection function returns that no controllers are connected. The wireless remote that comes with the box can work the game, but a wired Xbox 360 controller that's connected cannot.
The controller works the actual box fine, up until the game is launched.
I've tried taking the batteries out of the remote so that only the controller is connected.
Any other suggestions to try and get it working?
Thanks.

Re: Android controller support
Does the amazon controller work? That's the only one that's supported on the platform. The other thing you might want to try is to to add code like:
$ _gamepad.calibrate()
somewhere in your game, to see if that detects the controller and lets you configure it.

Re: Android controller support
Unfortunately I don't have one that I can test with. Later builds did add support for other controllers though:

I was testing with GamepadExists(developer=False), which returned False, but I'll have another look at it.
