Shield UI issue! - timk22 - 03-11-2016

Hi I'm new to the forum and have been trying to get Dolphin up and running for the past couple of days on my Shield TV 4K. I was having issues with setting up the controller bindings and found a useful forum post here that showed me which build I needed to use to get that sorted, but then I needed to add my ROM directory. Whilst I was fiddling around with stuff, I rebooted my shield and the app interface has gone from an Android TV style interface to one more suited to phones! It is completely unusable as I for the life of me cant get my shield controller or remote to select the floating + button at the bottom right of the screen.

The interface is like this whichever build I use, right back to the 8723 build. Is there a setting that has changed causing Dolphin to recognise my device as a phone/tablet rather than an Android TV device? If so, can I find it in a config file and change it back so that I can use the app?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Scratch that, I've found the setting in the config file! for some reason it was detecting touch screen controls!

Can you post some more details about this in a bug report? I feel like this is the type of thing that should be fixed.

Where should i do that? Is there a bugzilla or something equivalent for this?

I also have another issue where when trying to add my library location the one level up button always crashes the app. =/

That's one I'd definitely like to report!
