Miduo/71 media failing linux

[Miduo666]

Pull Request Details

Description

Resolved Linux audio/video playback issues by integrating video_player_media_kit.

Debug Mode: Added a new DEBUG mode for easier development and troubleshooting.

Cache Logic Fix: Resolved a bug where stale data was being read from the cache even after updates.

Media Handling: Improved logic to check for encrypted media before playback to prevent crashes/errors.

These changes are necessary to provide cross-platform support (Linux), ensure data consistency between the local cache and the server, and enhance the overall robustness of media playback.

Audio and video working on Linux

Except I see this overflow:

Enlarging screen fixes it but might need a Flexible() or something around the widget.

That’s strange — I tested this on Android earlier and it appeared to work fine. I’ll take another look.
