Make it possible to novigate the player with a remote on Linux

[Katzenminze]

Summary

Jellyfin Desktop lets me control every menu and the player in TV mode with my USB Dongle Remote. Afik it maps to the Arrow Keys, Enter and Escape. When I try to navigate around the player on Fludder in TV mode, pressing up increases the volume etc (Insert the default keyboard bindings). This makes navigation in the player impossible and I'd need a mouse for my TV setup. I would like a way to do everything, or at least most inputs using media remotes. I'm not sure if this is implemented on the Android TV build, but I'd imagine it is and could be ported over.

Basic Example

When the player is opened, the cursor starts on the Play/Pause Button. When Left Arrow Key is pressed the cursor moves one option to the left and now select the "Rewind 10 seconds button". I press Left Arrow 3 more times, am on the Audio button, press enter to select it and the Audio menu opens, I also navigate using the Arrow keys here. Enter selects the option, Esc closes the menu.

Drawbacks

Could cause confusion to people used to the current TV mode controls. Does not apply if it's an alternative control scheme that's Opt-in
