[Feature]: TV First GUI Layout and Controls #305

Description

Area (tag)

UI / Layout

Problem statement

Currently there is a usability blind spot for people using a HTPC (computer) hooked to a TV.
The desktop version (NuvioDesktop) does not have a usable TV layout and no remote controls/controller support, thus making control hard without using a mouse and keyboard.
The TV version (NuvioWeb) cannot be installed on HTPCs (Windows/MacOS/Linux). It has the the preferred UI for HTPCs.

So neither is useable for HTPCs

I believe that is increasingly common use case as with the rise of the Steam Deck and Steam Machine more people have a PC hooked to a TV which is controlled via remote or controller

Similar issue has been created at NuvioWeb for visibility: NuvioMedia/NuvioWeb#610

Proposed solution

Integrate the NuvioWeb UI and controls into the desktop app or make NuvioWeb installable on PCs.

Are you planning to implement this yourself?

No, this is only a proposal

Alternatives considered (optional)

Running NuvioWeb in browser (https://web.nuvioapp.space/), but this does not work as the local backend is missing.
