[bug] non-functional in AndroidTV bcs of the need to select folder to recieve #84

As Android TV lacks the capabilities to select folder, the app is in functional...... It'll be great if we have a default preset folder to recieve in (like /sdcard/download/FlyingCarper), If no new folder is selected.

I'm considering adding a way to set a default folder, but I don't think Android would let me write to a folder without user consent. I also don't have an Android TV so couldn't test or develop against it. Apologies but this will likely not be implemented.

But If flying carpet prompt to Manage all storage/giles on first setup, it can write to the download folder while Recieving. As android tv do give permission to manage storage files, this can work.

Please do reconsider as this app really is great at what it does, i don't want to miss it out on Android TV.......

I'll leave the issue open but no idea if or when I'll ever get to this. Looks like Android TV only ships on actual TVs, not something that plugs into an HDMI port? I am unlikely to ever buy an Android TV so wouldn't be able to test.
