Pull request overview
This PR fixes an issue where the media player wasn't displaying the current position and maximum length when opening media files. The fix introduces explicit media parsing before playback and refactors the time calculation logic to be more robust.
Key changes:
- Added VLCMedia parsing with appropriate options for local vs. network files to ensure media metadata is available before playback
- Refactored the
update()method toupdatePlaybackPosition()with improved time calculation logic that manually computes current and remaining time - Fixed multiple typos in debug print statements ("Played" → "Player", "Play URL" → "Playing URL")

Opening audio or video in the player did not show position and remaining time until after playing.
This PR preparses the media and updates the timers at the beginning.
