Understanding

use-asset is an opinionated hook that integrates use-player (for Shaka Player), use-playback (for media controls), and use-playlist (for queue management) into a single logical unit. It defines an Asset interface and handles the orchestration of loading an asset into the player when the playlist advances.

It automatically handles:

• Loading: Calls Shaka Player's load method when use-playlist requests a new item.
• Preloading: Can preload the next item in the playlist.
• Auto-Advance: Moves to the next item when playback ends.
