Not a linux guy, ive been editing the slideshow js directly; I've managed to get it selectable by remote with

slide.setAttribute('tabindex', '0');

slide.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
switch(event.keyCode) {
case 13: // Enter key
// Code to handle the selection
window.location.href = this.href;
break;
// Add cases for other keys if needed
}
});

Didn't feel like worth a full fork, but heres my slideshow.html
Changes:
-Reads list.txt (ignoring labels after id codes), if list.txt is not present, grabs 200 movies from server and randomizes a selection of them to display (because i cant find an API call for random selection)
-Fetches the plot through API - movie.Overview
-Accessible / Clickable in webUI (see video)
-Offset top border & title font to match my JF theme (ymmv)
-Text bottom justified (this number of chrs looks good on my desktop widescreen and on my phone, though ive set my slide frame to 350px tall)
-Config vars grouped at beginning of JS
-Various visual changes

Issues:
Pressing the webui back button (or remote controll back) after selecting a slide and going to its page will lock up JF. Using browser back button works fine, or pressing the webui home button works fine. I tried different referral options but no luck so far.

My border highlight for the selection of the frame doesnt seem to be working, I have a hard time testing this accessibility on desktop.

I dont know how you got this to work on Jellyfin for Android TV, it wont pick up Any server css for me.
