When UI events are generated by controller input, the app will be backgrounded when the Apple TV remote's menu button is pressed, and when the pause or B buttons on gamepads are pressed.

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Controller input does not generate UI events. (default)

• "1": Controller input generates UI events.

This hint can be set anytime.
