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 or resumes video playback. If this is the first time start() is called or if playback was stopped, it initiates the player setup via initPlayer. If a surface is already available, playback might begin immediately after preparation. Otherwise, it will wait for surfaceCreated.
