feat: enhance HLS error handling and key URL rewriting in VideoPlayer

- Introduced recovery attempts for HLS errors to prevent infinite loops.
- Added detailed logging for HLS errors, including fragment URLs and response statuses.
- Implemented a custom loader to rewrite AES-128 key URLs to resolve against the app backend.
- Improved user feedback for playback errors based on recovery attempts.
