start

Starts or resumes the active operation of this control.

This typically involves starting content playback, animations, data fetching, or making the control visually active. If the control was previously #stop() stopped, this method should resume its operation. Calling start()} on an already started control should ideally be a no-op or handle resumption gracefully.

This method might be called automatically after #initialize(Module) if #isAutoStart() is true, or explicitly by the player system.

Starts the periodic updates for the clock.

This method schedules the first clock update to occur after a minimal delay (currently 30ms). Subsequent updates will occur at intervals determined by the clockType:

• ANALOG: Updates every second.
• DIGITAL: Updates every minute.
• REALTIME: Updates approximately every millisecond (for high-frequency updates).

If start() is called while updates are already scheduled, any pending updates are removed before scheduling new ones, ensuring only one update loop is active.
